coffee and coffee beans are good to drink and enjoy by coffee lovers.
Coffee Beans All We Need to Know from Fruit to Ready to be Enjoyed
only a few of us are aware that the coffee beans actually come from the coffee.
if we look at the tree directly, we will see the fruit budengan. Unripe coffee fruit is green. The already slightly mature yellow. Mature, red.
if eaten, the red fruit skin tastes sweet. Coffee fruit is a kind of fruit grains. Which fruit flavors do we like? Sweet,
This fruit is later processed into the usual coffee beans we enjoy while relaxing or while working.
Since the coffee beans come from the fruit, it has become a common agreement that the mature is the best. Therefore, the coffee beans through the process of red picking is always appreciated more expensive.
This is because the process and time required for picking and sorting become longer.
the price of coffee beans sold by coffee farmers during the harvest
Usually farmers can process their own coffee to be a seed that can be directly made into drinks. But not a few who pass the fruit of coffee to other parties due to limited resources, especially labor, tools and time.
In terms of business, post-harvest processing of these beans is what adds value.
Imagine if you are an arabica coffee farmer. If you sell red fruit only, it sells Rp 10,000 per kilogram. If your harvest is a ton, then you reap Rp 10 million once harvest.
Now imagine if you can cultivate it into a coffee bean. 1kg can be sold up to Rp 80-180.000.
my conclusion:
From coffee beans, it turns out the coffee we drink / enjoy through a process that is so long. We as consumers, should be smarter to choose coffee to be drunk. Starting from price, process, to quality.
The journey of coffee beans is also not linear just for steeping coffee. If we open slowly, he will also reveal the life of coffee farmers, middlemen, even to the story of nature conservation.
if you read to the end of this paper, my hope is only one.
Hopefully we not only enjoy coffee. But also want to understand more and more clever about the ins and outs of coffee!
