Coffee Processing In India
Coffee processing in India is commonly done with no fermentation to remove the mucilage, The cherry is picked, pulped and sorted straight away, drying on patios under the sun-unless weather or volume dictates the additional use of mechanical driers. This processing method yields a low acidity and a flavour that is well rounded and creates the familiar perceived strength that Indian coffee is so well known for.
