General<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The name of the training says it all. In this Foundation training we will start with the green coffee bean. We tell you everything you need to know about the green coffee bean: type, hardness, screen size, moisture content and value. You learn to use different tools for checking green coffee. We also look at the market for coffee beans, how does the black gold trade actually work? Storage and transport are part of that issue. Finally, we dive into the decaffeiniation process.<\/p>\n

We cover a lot of theory on this day, but we also taste many different processing methods, varieties and qualities of coffee.<\/p>\n

For this training, you can apply for the internationally recognized SCA Green Coffee Foundation certificate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
