The latter, manual&nbsp;stripping, is slightly faster but sometimes it involves harvesting some unripe cherries.<br>Both types of manual harvesting include two or three steps, sometimes four, of harvesting&nbsp;on the same plant to respect the cherries\u2019 ripening time.<br>The pros of manual harvesting are that coffee in the cup has a much cleaner and sweeter&nbsp;taste, and it has a rounder body.<br>Also, it doesn\u2019t have those flaws due to unripe cherries:&nbsp;flaws that could be described as sensations of astringency and sourness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lepiantagionidelcaffe.com\/en\/disruptive-coffee-school\/how-coffee-is-made\/coffee-harvesting-and-processing\/\">Harvesting and processing<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I\u2019m Prunella from \u201cLe Piantagioni del Caff\u00e8\u201d and I will tell you about raw coffee&nbsp;harvesting techniques in the countries of origin.
