Learn how ripe Arabica coffee cherries are selectively hand-harvested in Laos, with only bright red fruit picked and green or overripe berries discarded.

Ever wondered how the bright red coffee cherries you see in photos become the beans in your morning cup? Picking coffee isn’t just yanking random fruit off a bush — especially not when you’re growing Arabica. In Laos’ high-altitude coffee regions, every cherry is chosen with care. Here’s exactly how it’s done, from selecting the right fruit to preparing the beans for roasting.
