In this video, I invite the renowned coffee buying expert Christopher Feran to the show to discuss and demystify post harvest processing. Viewers can expect to learn the basics of processing, what each one implies, and how these changes to the coffee can impact cup profiles. Thanks to Christopher for coming on!
