Coffee is grown on small trees or shrubs and appears as a green cherry. Multiple cherries can grow on one tree as seen here. As the cherry starts to mature, it slowly turns red in color. The red cherries are harvested by hand and brought to the processing facility.

The coffee cherry then goes through a series of processes which can be seen here in video form:

1. The cherries are washed and sent through a machine which removes the skin and sticky pulp.

2. The coffee beans then soak in water to assist in removing the pulp.

3. Coffee beans will be sorted by weigh as the light beans float and the heavier beans sink.

4. The beans are rinsed and spread out to dry according to the desired quality.

5. After drying, the coffee beans will be collected, stored, allowed to age, and eventually packaged and sent to the consumer.
