Welcome to the FRKA Trading blog! Here, we explore the fascinating world of coffee, from its origins on the farm to the moment it reaches your cup. Today, we’re diving into the journey that each coffee bean takes, highlighting the dedication and craftsmanship involved in every step.
The Origins: Neja Fadil Coffee Farms
At the heart of our coffee lies the rich heritage of Neja Fadil Coffee. With 317 farms under our care, we have spent the last seven years perfecting the art of coffee cultivation. Our farmers are the backbone of our operation, working tirelessly to nurture the finest coffee plants in regions known for their ideal growing conditions. Each farm is a testament to sustainable agriculture practices, ensuring that we not only produce exceptional coffee but also protect the environment for future generations.
Harvesting: The First Step
The journey of our coffee begins with the harvest. Timing is crucial, as coffee cherries must be picked at their peak ripeness to ensure optimal flavor. This process is often done by hand, allowing our farmers to select only the best cherries. It’s a labor-intensive task, but one that is essential for maintaining the high standards of Neja Fadil Coffee.
Processing: From Cherries to Beans
Once harvested, the coffee cherries undergo processing to extract the beans. This can be done using various methods, each imparting different characteristics to the final product. At Neja Fadil Coffee, we employ a combination of traditional and innovative techniques, from the washed process that highlights bright, clean flavors, to the natural process that enhances fruity and complex notes.
Drying and Milling: Preparing for Export
After processing, the beans are dried and milled to remove the parchment layer, resulting in green coffee beans ready for export. This stage is critical for preserving the quality and flavor profile of the beans. Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure consistency and excellence in every batch.
Trading: FRKA Trading’s Role
This is where FRKA Trading comes into play. For the past two years, we have been dedicated to bringing the exquisite coffee from Neja Fadil Coffee to global markets. Our team ensures that each batch is meticulously graded, cupped, and packed for shipment. We work closely with our international partners in Korea, Taiwan, the USA, and China to meet their specific needs and preferences.
Roasting: Bringing Out the Flavors
The final step before the coffee reaches your cup is roasting. While we don’t roast the coffee ourselves, we collaborate with some of the best roasters around the world. Roasting transforms the green beans into the aromatic, flavorful coffee we all love. Each roaster we partner with understands the unique properties of our beans, bringing out their best qualities.
Brewing: The Perfect Cup
The journey culminates in your hands. Whether you prefer a rich espresso, a smooth pour-over, or a classic drip coffee, the care and craftsmanship that went into every step ensure a superior coffee experience. Each sip connects you to the dedicated farmers at Neja Fadil Coffee and the meticulous process managed by FRKA Trading.
