Processing - At the end of the washing process
Pictures:
During
the washing process, an interesting quality opportunity arises,
the weight of the beans is tested by how quickly they sink into
the channel after the waterfall. The beans with the greatest densities
(higher quality beans) sink to the bottom and allow the "floaters"
to float along the top and be captured at the end of the channel.
In this picture you can see how multiple wooden slats are used
to prevent the higher quality beans to pass until all the floaters
have been captures. These floaters are then dried in separate
racks and maintained separate from the "A" quality beans
to be sold locally as a separate category of beans. Once all the
floaters have passed, the "A" quality beans are passed
trough and arranged on the drying racks.
