Processing of Coffee

Dry Method


  • The oldest, most natural and cheapest method.
  • The fruits either dry on the tree or the tree is shaken or stripped.
  • The ripe and unripe fruits are spread out, dried and shriveled under the sun.
  • The beans are raked several times to make sure they dry evenly.
  • The beans passes through a hulling machine to separate the skin from the beans.

Wet Method


  • The beans are handpicked; fully ripened, quality beans.
  • The beans are washed and water is gently sprayed over them to remove the pulp and any debris.
  • Then they are dried in the sun and finally a hulling machine removes the protective silver skin that adheres to the beans surface.
