Question

Company xyz claims that its Coffee is really expensive because they only choose the best coffee beans. What does that mean?

(a) The coffee beans have been strip picked

(b) The coffee beans have been selectively picked

(c) The coffee cherry beans irrespective of how ripe they’re, are picked

(d) None of the mentioned

I have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from Tea and Coffee Processing topic in portion Grain Milling, Tea and Coffee Processing and Spices and Condiments of Food Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) The coffee beans have been selectively picked

For explanation I would say: The coffee beans have been strip picked means that the coffee cherry beans irrespective of how ripe they’re, are picked altogether. But, in the process of being selectively picked, only the ripe coffee beans are picked. This task requires extensive amount of labour and hence the Company xyz sells coffee which is more expensive.
