Cherries, Goats, and History

Author: Cheyenne Pittman

With the rise in value of the beloved coffee industry to over 100 billion dollars world wide, it’s vital to return to this comforting yet essential drink’s origin. Specialty coffee has brought the actual beans into a new light and out of the dim and dusty light of the second wave coffee standard it was at before. Consumers and producers alike are actually taking the time to learn about the coffee bean and it’s roots more and more. 

The small brown bean that you find in the bags on the shelf or nested in the hopper of an espresso grinder did not always look the way they do in their final stage that you are used to seeing. The original form is actually in a fruit state- called a cherry. This cherry has been through hours of work and many     caring hands before it reaches the cup you have in the morning. This cherry has not always been used in the way that it is today. When ripe, it is a bright red and looks similar to a cranberry. Early on, this fruit was covered in animal fat and used as a protein rich snack, something that would probably be a sensation in the keto diet world. It was also used to make a wine-like drink by fermenting the fruit pulp. It is said that the very first coffee plants were grown and cultivated in Ethiopia and were soon brought over to Yemen. There are dozens of different stories about how the uses of coffee were discovered, one of them being the legend of the goat farmer named Kaldi. His goats kept eating the fruits and refused to go to sleep at night. He decided to dig a little deeper into these fruits in order to harness their power for humans. One tale says that he shared these fruits with a monk who thought of them as evil and threw them into a fire, thus creating the first roasted beans. Unfortunately, these stories don't have any physical evidence but who are we to say these goats aren’t the founders of this cherished drink. 

From the cherries on the trees, to the freshly ground coffee in your filter, there are quite a few processes that the bean goes through. The cherries are processed in three different ways. The less expensive way is the dry or natural method. The cherries are dried out in the sun for about seven to ten days and turned periodically. Once their moisture level has dropped to 11% or less, their outer shells will turn brown and the bean inside will rattle around. During the wet or washed method, the pulp of the cherries is removed soon after harvesting, leaving just the beans. The beans are then put into a fermentation solution for 24-48 hours. The beans are then dried by machines or the sun. Once they are dried, their outer layers are removed in a process called hulling. The third process for preparing the cherries is called the honey process or pulped natural process. The cherry pulp is removed but the bean itself is not washed which leaves some of the pulp still on it. The remaining pulp left on the bean mimics the sticky, golden consistency of honey which is where it gets its name. This process allows for the use of less water than it would in the washed method and takes less time than the natural method. Once the dry and naked beans are done being processed and hulled, they will then be sent to a roaster. Each roaster has a different method, there are a multitude of different roasters and styles. Once the beans have their first crack, similar to the first popcorn kernel opening, all of the flavors, nuanciases, and notes are released. 

Whether you drink coffee because it's the post- Boston Tea Party patriotic thing to do or because you just need a little pick me up, you can always count on this wondrous and historically rich drink to be there for you. The North Central College Coffee Lab has gone to the very source in order to serve you the most ethical and delicious coffee they could provide. The importance in knowing where your coffee comes from can make the world of a difference in a coffee farmer’s life.

  • One evening, I found a promising investment platform through a social media ad. The numbers looked convincing real people sharing “success stories,” and a representative even reached out to guide me. They sounded professional, explained everything clearly, and I decided to invest. Within days, my supposed profit started growing, and I was thrilled. But things changed when I tried to withdraw. They said I needed to pay “clearance fees,” then “taxes,” and each time I paid, they asked for more. Eventually, the website disappeared, and I realized I’d been tricked. These scammers know how to make everything look real always double-check before trusting any online investment. Thanks to assetsfix that help me and safe me from this people.

  • Emmily, a 35-year-old marketing executive, received an email appearing to be from her cryptocurrency exchange. The email asked her to update her account information due to a “security breach.” Unknown to Emily, the email was a phishing scam. She entered her login credentials, and the scammers stole 1.5 BTC (worth $60,000) from her account.
    Story 2: Investment Scam

    David, a 50-year-old retiree, invested $20,000 in a cryptocurrency trading platform promising unusually high returns. The platform’s website and social media presence seemed legitimate. However, after several weeks, David realized he couldn’t withdraw his funds. The platform had vanished, leaving him with significant financial losses.

    Story 3: Romance Scam

    Sarah, a 28-year-old freelance writer, met a charming individual on a dating app. They built a relationship online, and the individual convinced Sarah to invest in a cryptocurrency project. She sent 0.5 BTC (worth $20,000) to the scammer’s wallet. Later, Sarah discovered the individual was fake, and her funds were gone.

    Story 4: Fake ICO

    Mark, a 40-year-old entrepreneur, invested $50,000 in an initial coin offering (ICO) for a promising blockchain project. The project’s website, whitepaper, and social media presence seemed legitimate. However, after the ICO, the project’s team disappeared with the funds, leaving Mark with significant losses.
