Learn how coffee cherries are harvested and turned into beans through natural or washed processing methods, including rare pea berry beans.

Ever wondered why some coffee beans are sold alone inside the cherry, while most come in pairs? The answer lies not just in farming, but in how coffee cherries are processed after harvest. What starts as a fruit on a tree becomes your morning brew through a series of carefully managed steps — some ancient, others more modern. Understanding these processes reveals how much of your coffee’s flavor is shaped long before it reaches your cup.
