Coffee - Preparing For The Market

Today, I'm going to share some info about what is done for Preparing For The Market.
When we talk about coffee harvesting we are talking berries - berries which mostly are hand-picked. Some are harvested by machinery which vibrates the trees - in turn - the berries are shaken from the trees. The berries are then put through running water - called a "sluice". All the good berries sink to the bottom and the rubbish - such as the bad berries, leaves and sticks are floated to the top.
Pulping procedure - The sinking berries - the good ones - are sent to the pulping house- here the machines removes the pulp. The berries have two beans (seeds). As quoted by the 2008 World Book Encyclopedia - "Each bean has a thin parchment-like skin and a second covering called the silver skin." Firstly the uncovered bean appears soft - bluish green in colour - they then become hard and pale yellow in colour.
After the pulping process, the beans are run through fermentation and wash tanks. Beans are then dried - left to cure for a few weeks.
