Storage and shipment
The fresh raw coffee is not just exported after the harvest. It is storaged
for some time in warehouses. Also here as well as on the transport on the ship
one looks embarrassingly exactly on factors like temperature, air humidity
and smell-neutral storage of the precious beans. To guarantee a high quality
and not to damage the beans, the sacks with the raw coffee are put into special
containers on the sea route. Arrived at the destination, the raw coffee depending
on the claim of quality of the producer is dried once again. Normally the roasting
takes place in the import country, because roasted coffee is perishable.
If
a storage of roasted coffee is needed, the coffee has to be frozen.
