Coffee fields are endless, and most of them are harvested mechanically to meet economic benefits. When 75% of the coffee fruit in the coffee garden turns red, the mechanical harvesting is started, followed by the same pre-operation of washing, which is transferred to the sink to remove the floating beans, sifting out the sunk beans, and then using a large pulp sifter to remove the pulp and remove the pods covered with pectin. The next stage is separate from the washing method: instead of moving the sticky pods to a tank for fermentation, they are moved to an outdoor drying field. Due to the dry climate in Brazil, the sticky pectin on the pods hardens in about a day. Then use a lot of manpower to turn up and down, so that the pod evenly dry inside and outside, so as not to regain moisture and stink, about two to three days with the help of sunlight and dry climate natural forces, the pod can reach a certain degree of dehydration. Then further drying in a dryer to reduce the moisture content to 10.5--12%, and then storing the pods in special containers for about ten days, further ripening, in order to stabilize the quality, before export and then grinding off the sheepskin (i.e. pods), take out the coffee beans, graded packaging.
