Over the years, I have asked a few farmers from Brazil, along with importers and exporters, about how coffee is processed here, but until this visit I did not understand the exact methods of the processing.
The first thing I learned is that every farm is different in how they process. The second thing I learned is that, although different, many farms call what they do by the same name.
To give a better understanding I will try to break it down:
The Natural process. Overall, many farms do natural processing (especially in the Cerrado), but it is not like the natural process we find in Ethiopia. Here most of it is tree dried. (I only saw one Microlot that was picked ripe and then dried in the sun.)
Pulp Natural is also very confusing here. The reason being that many farms also have a demucilage machine, which can take off a certain percentage of the coffee fruit after pulping. The percentage of mucilage is dependent upon how the machine is calibrated. Some farmers take off 0% and others take off 100% percent. It all depends on the farm. Most places I visited took off quite a bit. You can tell by looking that the parchment color as it is being dried. The more yellow and rustic, the more mucilage that was left on.
Washed coffees are not very common, but a coffee that has been demucilaged at 80% or higher—in my mind—will taste more like a washed coffee than a Pulp Natural. I saw one farm that actually had fermentation tanks that did an odd blend of Pulp Natural and Washed processing.
Over here is a recap and my short notes:
Natural: tree dried = very common
Natural: picked ripe and then dried = not common
Pulp Natural: 100% of mucilage left on and dried on patio = not common, hard to produce.
Pulp Natural Demucilaged: anywhere from 10-90% of mucilage is taken off and then dried on patio = very common process, but both very good and poor quality can be processed this way.
Demulicaged: 100% of mucilage taken off = not common
Washed process: Coffee is pulped, fermented, and then dried = Not common.
A good note to all of this is each farm also changes their focus for processing day by day. For instance, if a lot of ripe cherry is harvested (like you would find early in the harvest season) then a lot of farms choose to make that a Pulp Natural. A lot of tree dried cherry generally means it is later in the harvest and that of course will be a natural.
I told you it was confusing.
Once the JPSS-1 is safely inside the Astrotech Processing Facility, the satellite’s instruments will go through additional pre-launch testing. Then, just prior to the big day, the satellite will be encapsulated within the United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket that will take it on its final journey -- to space!

i wish i had had my nikon when i took this, because its a sweet shot, but my finepix couldnt cut it really. still, it's pretty.
Traditional shea butter processing is done by village women who gather, boil and sun-dry, and roast the nuts before they are pounded and ground into a fine paste. The paste is mixed with water to separate the fat, which is then manually churned into creamy butter, Bukina Faso.

Beginning of my attempt to dye this pattern posted by narablog in the All Things Shibori pool . Stitched and ready to tie and bind. Stay tuned for the results.
relearning how to knit socks
a lot of what I have made recently has been very utilitarian; I hope there will soon be a bit more time for just playing & experimenting
