Why Choose Us

Arfasa’s Coffee Processing

processing is not only a coffee production method that delivers unique flavor and high quality, but is also an important step in the production of Arabica coffee. This preliminary processing process is carried out with care and strict control from harvesting to drying and selection. Below is the process of wet processing of Arabica coffee:

1
𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

The process begins by selecting coffee when the cherries are evenly ripe. Hand harvesting ensures optimal quality.

2
𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫

After harvesting, the coffee cherries are peeled and the soft layer that protects the coffee beans is kept, keeping the purity preserved.

3
𝐒𝐨𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

The coffee beans are then soaked in water to encourage fermentation. Soaking time is flexible, usually from 12 to 48 hours, depending on climatic conditions and water source.

4
𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞

Coffee beans are washed with water to completely remove the soft layer and excess substances, preserving the unique flavor.

5
𝐃𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠

The drying process takes place naturally or mechanically, but is always carefully controlled to avoid damaging the coffee beans and maintain quality.

6
𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Dried coffee will go through a classification and selection process to remove substandard beans, ensuring uniformity in quality.
