Few people think about how coffee is produced and how it gets into stores, but the path from the coffee tree to a cup of everyone\u2019s favorite aromatic drink is quite long. Getting coffee from the farm to your cup involves a complex supply chain involving many steps and participants. Every step is critical to ensuring the quality and taste of coffee you enjoy. The entire chain can be roughly broken down into the following steps:<\/p>\n
Coffee cultivation begins on coffee farms where coffee plants are grown. The type of coffee plant, growing conditions, and growing methods all affect the taste of the coffee. The coffee cherries are then selectively harvested when they reach maximum ripeness. In some cases, mechanical harvesting methods are used, especially in large-scale coffee production.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Once harvested, the coffee cherries are processed to extract the coffee beans. There are various processing methods, including washed, natural, semi-washed and others, each of which affects the flavor profile. Processed beans are usually crushed to remove any remaining layers of parchment or husk. The beans are then dried to reduce the moisture content, an important step to prevent mold and maintain quality. After these processing steps, the coffee beans are sorted and classified according to size, density and quality. Higher quality beans are often separated from lower quality beans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
