Cocoa, Coffee & Tea
Export-quality coffee undergoes careful cultivation, harvesting, processing, and packaging to ensure it reaches its destination in optimal condition.
Processing Methods: After harvesting, the coffee cherries undergo processing to separate the beans from the fruit. There are two primary processing methods:
- Wet Processing: Also known as the washed process, this method involves removing the pulp and mucilage from the coffee cherries through fermentation and washing. It results in a cleaner and brighter flavor profile.
- Dry Processing: Also called the natural process, this method involves drying the whole coffee cherries under the sun, allowing the beans to absorb flavors from the fruit. It often produces a fruitier and more full-bodied cup.
Tea for exports refers to high-quality tea leaves that are cultivated, processed, and traded internationally. It represents the carefully crafted teas produced in various tea-growing regions around the world, which are sought after by tea enthusiasts globally. The export-quality tea undergoes meticulous cultivation, harvesting, processing, and packaging to ensure its flavor, aroma, and overall quality are maintained during transportation and storage.

Quality Control: Coffee for exports undergoes stringent quality control measures to ensure consistency and excellence. Coffee grading systems are used to evaluate factors such as bean size, defects, moisture content, and flavor attributes. Specialty coffee, which represents the highest-quality category, undergoes even more rigorous quality control, including cupping evaluations by expert tasters.
Roasting and Packaging: Coffee beans for export are typically shipped in their green, unroasted form to retain freshness. Roasting occurs closer to the destination to maintain flavor and aroma. Once roasted, the beans are carefully packaged in various forms, such as bags, containers, or vacuum-sealed packages, to preserve their quality during transportation.
Processing Methods: The processing methods employed for tea production vary depending on the type of tea being made. Here are some common methods:
- Black Tea: The leaves are withered, rolled, fermented, and then dried. Fermentation, or oxidation, is a crucial step that distinguishes black tea from other types. It imparts rich flavors and dark color.
- Green Tea: The leaves are briefly withered, then heat-treated to halt oxidation. This preserves the natural green color and results in a fresh, grassy flavor.
- Oolong Tea: The leaves undergo partial oxidation, withering, and rolling. Oolong teas offer a wide range of flavors, from light and floral to robust and toasty.
- White Tea: Young tea buds and leaves are simply withered and gently dried, preserving their delicate flavors and appearance.
- Herbal Infusions: Unlike true teas, herbal infusions are made from dried flowers, herbs, fruits, or botanicals. They are often caffeine-free and brewed for their medicinal or aromatic properties.
Quality Control: Tea for exports goes through rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistent taste and appearance. Experienced tea tasters or tea masters conduct sensory evaluations, examining factors such as aroma, taste, color, and overall quality. Quality control may also involve laboratory testing to ensure tea is free from contaminants and meets international food safety standards.
Blending and Packaging: Tea blending is a common practice where different tea varieties or batches are mixed to achieve desired flavor profiles and consistency. This is often done to create signature blends or to meet specific market preferences. After blending, the tea is carefully packaged to maintain freshness and prevent exposure to moisture, light, and air. Common packaging options include tea bags, loose-leaf pouches, or tins.
