1. After picking, the beans have not been specially selected and treated, and the uneven quality and maturity are mixed together. The process is relatively rough, so the quality of coffee beans is unstable and easy to have defective beans.

The improved solarization method aims at improving the two shortcomings of the traditional method:

1. Only fully ripe dark red coffee cherries are picked at the time of picking. Before being exposed to sunlight, the beans are screened for defects at the processing plant to make the beans look more average in size and maturity.

2. Then, use a raised wooden frame or whole trellis for sunning, which will avoid the risk of the beans getting contaminated by the smell on the ground. During the exposure process, the beans should be carefully cared for so that the coffee beans can be evenly exposed to moisture; every three to five days, coffee workers will manually screen out the defective moldy beans. So by the time the sun is done and the beans come into the field without the skin and flesh, a piece of sunburned, bright red coffee cherry is already of a very blemish grade.
