The general stages of parchment processing are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Harvesting the Coffee Cherries:<\/strong><br \/>\nRipe coffee cherries are picked once they are fully mature. These cherries are red in color and contain the coffee beans inside. Proper and timely harvesting can have a significant impact on the final quality of the coffee.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Removing the Beans:<\/strong><br \/>\nAt this stage, the fruit is separated from the beans. This is done using specialized machines that remove the cherry pulp from the beans.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Drying the Beans:<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter separation, the beans are dried either in the sun or using mechanical dryers to reduce their moisture content. During this stage, the beans must be dried evenly to prevent mold or spoilage.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> Storing the Beans:<\/strong><br \/>\nCoffee beans in their parchment layer are easier to store and can retain their quality for a longer period.
