Before processing coffee fruit, farmers are required to pick coffee fruit according to strict standards, and they only pick ripe red fruit. This is a very critical quality control link for fine coffee. Co-op beans have been well received over the past few years. Green beans treated with natural have strawberry sweetness and blueberry flavor, while green beans treated with washed have citrus and apple-like sweetness and acidity.
