🇳🇵🌱 CQI Post-Harvest Processing, if you want to change coffee quality, start at the farm.
Brewing controls extraction.
Q Grader controls evaluation.
But Post-Harvest Processing controls the future of flavor.
And this time, we are not doing it alone.
This farm-based program is happening because Nepal’s strongest community builders are working together:
🤝 Nepal Coffee Producers Association (NCPA)
🌿 Eco Friendly Agro Organic Concept Pvt. Ltd. (Farm host)
☕ Coffee O’ Clock Pvt Ltd (Training & coordination partner)
🇹🇭 Espresso Academic Thailand (Training partner)
When these teams align, it means one thing:
This is real, serious, field-level training built for real results.
