Stripping consists in ripping the branches of all drupes, whether ripened or unripe, using one’s hands and the help of machines that beat the plant’s branches until the fruit falls. This is the cheapest system available, but it is also the worst one. With stripping, gatherers collect fruits that have reached the right level of ripening and sour fruit, including flowers, leaves etc.

For those who go crazy for coffee and who’ve never betrayed it with so much as a cappuccino.
