The delightful cup of joe we often indulge in, is the result of a long journey that includes the blossoming of coffee plants, harvesting its ripened berries, dry milling, roasting, grinding and finally brewing. Chandini D M, founder and CEO of Golden Wood takes us on a visual journey through the processes of Classic Coffees at the 500-acre Harley Estate in Sakleshpur and Kalladevarapura Estate in Chickmagalur.

Coffee Blossoms

Blooming and Maturing - A delightful sight, this is when coffee plants bloom with white flowers which last for a few days before maturing into seeds.

Pulping or Wet Processing

Coffee beans are passed through a pulping unit where they are sorted and separated from their skin and pulp, before being fermented and washed.

Drying

The beans are then sun-dried and baked appropriately to ensure desired moisture levels.

Dry Milling (Curing, Sorting and Grading)

This is the final stage in green coffee production. It involves removing the last layers of dry skin, sorting and preparing the beans for shipment. They are first passed through several machines to clean and remove impurities after which they get graded on size and colour. A final round of sorting is manually carried out by skilled labourers before being packed and dispatched.

Roasting

This transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The degree of roasting dictates the final taste of the coffee.

Grinding

Whole coffee beans are ground to facilitate the brewing process. The fineness of the grind strongly affects it while brewing.
