neutral  NancyLynn: I'm only looking at this question because it was originally sent to Eng Mono KudoZ, but I have to say that as a native English speaker, I would need a dictionary to figure out what this term means.

  -> As a native of a country were coffee processing is abundant, I too had never heard this particular term. It may be a regionalism.
