Last Updated: 2024/09/20, When the coffee berries are ripe, they are usually harvested by manual picking. In some places, only the fully ripe berries are picked, while others are all picked from a single branch. The former is called handpicked and the latter is called strip-picking. Because the ripening time of coffee berries is not consistent, the harvest is likely to be divided into several stages.

When the coffee berries are ripe, they are usually harvested by manual picking. In some places, only the fully ripe berries are picked, while others are all picked from a single branch. The former is called "handpicked" and the latter is called "strip-picking". Because the ripening time of coffee berries is not consistent, so the harvest is likely to be divided into several times, the duration will be very long, so harvesting is also the largest part of manpower investment.

The harvested coffee berries need further treatment, usually in two ways.

One is water washing, which is popular in Central America and parts of Africa; freshly harvested coffee berries separate the peel from the beans manually or mechanically, and then soak in water for 2 to 3 days. In this way, the pulp and sticky matter attached to the coffee beans will be removed. Then comes the cleaning and drying process, which can be done in the natural sun or by machine.

One is: solarization, which is more economical in Brazil and most African countries. After removing twigs and other debris, the coffee berries are spread out in the sun for 2 to 3 weeks, turning repeatedly to make the berries drier until the berries fall off the coffee beans.

When the water content of the coffee beans is reduced to about 13%, the coffee beans will be bagged and cooked in the warehouse for 1 to 3 months.

Finally, it can be sold.
