Question

Wet processing of coffee bean yields:

• A. Parchment coffee
• B. Cherry coffee
• C. Kerala coffee
• D. Ivory coffee

Hint:

In wet coffee processing, the beans are first washed and then dried with a thin layer of parchment. This process helps produce higher-quality coffee compared to dry processing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Wet processing of coffee beans is a method where the fruit is removed from the beans before drying. This results in parchment coffee, where the beans are still enclosed in a thin layer called the parchment, but the fruit and the mucilage are removed. This is a typical method for high-quality coffee production.
- Parchment coffee: Correct! This is the result of wet processing, where the beans are left with a parchment layer after removing the fruit and mucilage.
- Cherry coffee: Incorrect! Cherry coffee refers to coffee that still retains the fruit and is not processed wet.
- Kerala coffee: Incorrect! Kerala coffee is a term used to describe coffee grown in the Kerala region, but it is not related to the wet processing method.
- Ivory coffee: Incorrect! This is not a term used in coffee processing and is unrelated to the wet processing method.
Thus, the correct answer is (1) Parchment coffee.
