After the fruit is harvested, the skin and flesh must be removed. The endocarp and silver peel are removed to form coffee beans. There are two kinds of methods: drying (natural drying, non-washing) and washing.

Dry type, the operation is relatively simple, the harvested fruit will be spread on the dry ground and basked in the sun for a week or two. The sound of rattling can be heard when it is turned, which means it is dry. Then use the sheller to remove the pulp, endocarp and silver skin of the dried fruit.

This method gives coffee beans a soft sour taste and a mild bitter taste. This method is used in Brazil, Ethiopia, Yemen and other places. Disadvantages: vulnerable to weather, defective beans and foreign bodies are more likely to mix. Therefore, it is necessary to select it carefully before delivery.

In the washing type, the harvested fruit is poured into the sink, the floating matter is removed, the fruit in the water is moved to the pulp removal machine, the skin and pulp are removed, and then put back into the tank to remove the floating matter, the "core" in the water is poured into the fermentation tank, soaked for half a day or one day, the colloid on the surface of the fermented bean is removed, washed, dried or mechanically dried, and the endocarp is removed on the peeling machine to become commercial raw coffee beans.

The advantages of washing type: coffee beans have good luster, less foreign bodies, and slightly better sour taste. Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala and other countries have adopted this method. Coffee beans produced by washing account for almost 70% of the total output of coffee beans.

Sometimes poor treatment of fermentation time will produce fermentation odor and special sour taste; if handled well, it can form the personalized aroma of coffee beans. At this time, the coffee beans can be sent to various places in sacks or in special containers.

Before long, small fruits appear in piles, first green, then yellow, then red or crimson, and can be picked almost black. In Jamaica, bats are the first to know whether the fruit is ripe or not. by sucking coffee pulp at night, they are telling people that the fruit is ripe and ready to be picked. The oval fruit gathers tightly around the branches, with slender, smooth dark green toothed leaves on both sides of the branches. The leaves on the sunny side are harder, the back is softer, the edges are fan-shaped, and the branches are opposite from the trunk.

Coffee trees are usually bred in nurseries, grow into seedlings, and then moved to coffee plantations a year later, in full compliance with the original Arab method of planting and cultivating coffee trees. In the first four or five years of its growth, the coffee tree will continue to take root downward, develop its trunk upward, and develop into an umbrella shape so that it can bear rich fruit in the future.
