Cherries, Goats, and History
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.

As an architect in Texas, I was excited to begin remodeling my new home. I had big plans to transform the space into something perfect, after months of research, I selected what seemed to be a reputable construction company. They came highly recommended, with a professional portfolio and impressive credentials. After an initial consultation, I felt confident they were the right choice for the job. Unfortunately, things quickly went south. As the project progressed, the quality of the work was disappointing, and the timeline kept slipping. Payments had already been made, and I noticed the progress was extremely slow with little visible results. I had paid a substantial sum of $8,700 for the work, and all I had to show for it was a half-completed project. Worse, the contractor became difficult to reach, and communication became increasingly erratic. It didn’t take long for me to realize something was off. I started to suspect that I was being taken advantage of, and the situation quickly escalated from frustrating to worrying. It dawned on me that I might be dealing with a fraudulent company. At this point, I was desperate to recover my money and avoid losing any more. I reached out to Digital resolution services for assistance, hoping they could help me navigate the situation. Digital resolution services acted quickly. Their team thoroughly investigated the construction company and uncovered a history of fraudulent activities. It turned out that the company had scammed several homeowners before, using fake credentials and disappearing after taking large deposits. With their expert assistance, I was able to dispute the charge with my credit card company and initiate the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to Digital resolution services, I was able to recover the full $8,700 I had spent. The relief I felt when I got all my money back was indescribable. Not only did Digital resolution services help me recover the funds, but they also empowered me to hire a legitimate contractor to finish the remodeling work. This ensured that my vision for the home could finally be realized, without the looming financial loss. This experience taught me a hard lesson about thoroughly vetting contractors and being cautious with large deposits. I am incredibly grateful to Digital resolution services for their support and expertise, which allowed me to get my hard-earned money back and move forward with my project. I want to say a big thank you to the team at Digital resolution services.

Reach out to them for any kind of problems you may find yourself, they are there to help 100%.
