Question

Name the two methods of processing coffee beans.

Answer 1

The two main methods of processing coffee beans are:

1. The Dry Method (producing “Cherry” coffee): Harvested coffee cherries are spread out in the sun to dry completely before the outer skin and pulp are mechanically removed.
2. The Wet Method (producing “Parchment” coffee): The outer pulp is mechanically removed soon after harvesting, and the beans are fermented in water tanks and rinsed before being dried.
