Sourcing Framework
Explaining the structure of the green coffee supply chain from producers, cooperatives, mills, exporters, and importers to roasters, while clarifying concepts around pricing, trade models, sample approval, traceability, and supply continuity. Sourcing is examined as a system of relationships, information, and commercial decisions rather than through a single label such as “Direct Trade.”
Explaining how to read an Origin profile through information such as producer, farm, cooperative, region, variety, elevation, crop year, processing infrastructure, and lot structure. It also examines the distinction between declared information, verifiable data, and direct evidence of quality or traceability.
Exploring coffee genetic diversity across species, varieties, cultivars, clones, hybrids, and locally developed selections. This section examines documented agronomic, physical, and sensory characteristics while treating genetics as one layer of information about the material rather than a fixed formula for predicting flavor or roast behavior.
Exploring cherry maturity, harvesting methods, selective picking, mechanical harvesting, Brix measurement, and post-harvest cherry sorting. The section examines how harvesting conditions can influence material uniformity while clarifying the limitations of individual indicators when used to infer coffee quality.
Building foundational knowledge of the processes that transform coffee cherry into green coffee, including depulping, fermentation, washed, natural, honey and experimental methods, drying, resting, dry milling, moisture content, and Water Activity. The focus is on measurable or describable process variables rather than treating a processing label as a fixed predictor of flavor.

Examining terroir as a multi-variable system shaped by altitude, temperature, rainfall, soil, topography, microclimate, crop year, and farming conditions. The section looks at how environmental factors provide context for plant and green coffee development while distinguishing observed relationships from simplified causal claims about quality or flavor.
