Pu`tre*fac"tion, n. Etym: [L. putrefactio: cf. F. putréfaction. See Putrefy.]
1. The act or the process of putrefying; the offensive decay of albuminous or other matter.
Note: Putrefaction is a complex phenomenon involving a multiplicity of chemical reactions, always accompanied by, and without doubt caused by, bacteria and vibriones; hence, putrefaction is a form of fermentation, and is sometimes called putrefaction fermentative. Putrefaction is not possible under conditions that preclude the development of living organisms. Many of the products of putrefaction are powerful poisons, and are called cadaveric poisons, or ptomaĂŻnes.
2. The condition of being putrefied; also, that which putrefied. "Putrefaction's breath." Shelley.

Coffee starts as a yellow berry, changes into a red berry, and then is picked by hand to harvest. The red berry is de-shelled through a water soaking process and what’s left inside is the green coffee bean. This bean then dries in the sun for 3-5 days, where it is then packed and ready for sale.
