Coffee Cherries – The Start of Every Great Cup

Coffee beans, the heart of every cup, are seeds found inside coffee cherries. From harvesting to processing, the journey of these cherries is a story of craft and care. At iO Coffee Workshop, we delve into this journey to uncover how every step shapes the flavors and aromas of specialty coffee.


What Are Coffee Cherries?

  • The Origin of Coffee Beans

    • Definition: Coffee cherries are small, fruit-like berries that grow on coffee plants.

    • Structure: Each cherry typically contains two seeds, known as coffee beans.

  • From Cherry to Bean

    • After harvesting, cherries undergo processing methods like:

    • Washed (Wet) Processing: Enhances clarity and brightness in flavor.

    • Natural (Dry) Processing: Develops fruity and sweet notes.

Every processing method influences the beans’ flavor profiles, making each cup unique.


The Art of Coffee Harvesting

  • Hand-Picking for Specialty Coffee

    • Selective Harvesting: Farmers hand-pick only the ripest cherries, ensuring quality control.

    • Benefits: Reduces waste and ensures consistency in flavor.

  • Sustainable Practices in Harvesting

    • Many farms now adopt eco-friendly techniques to:

    • Minimize water usage.

    • Reduce pollution during processing.

By supporting these practices, coffee lovers contribute to a greener coffee industry and better livelihoods for farming communities.
