  • Natural Coffee Beans: Cherries are sun-dried, raked, and turned to allow fermentation and then dehulled.
  • Roasting: Develops aromas, appearance, and texture; changes physical and chemical properties
  • Quality characteristics described such as roast type (light, medium, or dark), lightness, richness, body, sweetness, aroma, flavour, bitterness, and quality
  • Roasting time dictates coffee classification
  • Coffee Brewing: Grinding and water extraction from beans followed by brewing methods and equipment (Percolator, Vacuum (Syphon/siphon), Drip, French press, Moka, etc)
