Understand production

1. 1. Plucking

   The factory can only work with what comes off the bush.

   • Plucking standard

2. 2. Oxidation

   The central decision, and the most misdescribed.

   • What oxidation does chemically, and why “fermentation” is the wrong word for it
   • The chemistry map

3. 3. Drying and roasting

   Heat after oxidation sets what has been made, and can add to it.

   • Firing, roasting and baking: what heat makes that was not there before

4. 4. Whole routes

   Seeing steps in order is what separates one finished style from another.

   • Every production route
