Coffee Cherries – The Start of Every Great Cup
Coffee beans, the heart of every cup, are seeds found inside coffee cherries. From harvesting to processing, the journey of these cherries is a story of craft and care. At iO Coffee Workshop, we delve into this journey to uncover how every step shapes the flavors and aromas of specialty coffee.
What Are Coffee Cherries?
The Origin of Coffee Beans
Definition: Coffee cherries are small, fruit-like berries that grow on coffee plants.
Structure: Each cherry typically contains two seeds, known as coffee beans.
From Cherry to Bean
After harvesting, cherries undergo processing methods like:
Washed (Wet) Processing: Enhances clarity and brightness in flavor.
Natural (Dry) Processing: Develops fruity and sweet notes.
Every processing method influences the beans’ flavor profiles, making each cup unique.
The Art of Coffee Harvesting
Hand-Picking for Specialty Coffee
Selective Harvesting: Farmers hand-pick only the ripest cherries, ensuring quality control.
Benefits: Reduces waste and ensures consistency in flavor.

I recently visited Vietnam and discovered IO coffee. This is my first time writing a review about coffee, and I felt compelled to share my experience. The aroma of IO Coffee is unliked anything I’ve encountered in other coffee chains. The flavors are noticeable superior to those of Starbucks or Trung Nguyen. Additionally, it doesn’t cause the jitter or rapid heart beat that some other coffee induce. I highly recommend lO coffee to anyone visiting Vietnam. If you have the opportunity to try it, weather in Vietnam or anywhere else in the world, don’t miss it.
