Discover how wet and dry processing turns ripe coffee cherries into green beans. Learn the key steps, pros, cons, and country origins.

When coffee farmers handpick bright red coffee cherries from the tree, the journey of the coffee bean truly begins. What follows is a carefully managed process to remove the fruit and reveal the seeds inside — the green coffee beans that will eventually be roasted. This transformation from cherry to bean is known as coffee processing, and it plays a huge role in defining the flavor, acidity, and overall quality of your cup.
