What Factors Affect The Quality of Green Coffee During Harvest?

Several factors can affect the quality of green coffee during harvest, including climate conditions, altitude, and the timing of the harvest. Higher altitudes often yield beans with dense, complex flavors. For example, our KENYA Select PLUS AA is known for its vibrant taste, influenced by the unique climatic conditions of its growing region.

How Is Green Coffee Processed After Harvest?

After harvest, green coffee goes through processing methods such as washed, natural, or honey. Each method impacts the flavor profile significantly. Washed processing, for example, tends to produce cleaner and brighter flavors. Check out our Colombia Excelso EP for an example of a carefully processed coffee.

How Is Green Coffee Shipped Internationally?
