What is the difference between Washed and Natural processed coffees?
A coffee bean is the seed of a fruit referred to as a cherry. The coffee bean is encased in many layers and there are two primary methods to process the coffee and extract the bean: washed-process and natural-process.
Washed-process: Washed coffees are dried without the cherry. Washed coffees are de-pulped, then washed clean before drying.
Natural-process: Natural coffees are dried in the full cherry before de-pulping.
So, how do these two processing methods affect your cup of coffee? Washed coffees have more clarity and vibrant notes. Removing all of the cherry before drying allows the bean's intrinsic flavors to shine without anything holding them back. Fruit notes are still found in washed coffees, however, fermented notes and berry notes are less common. Naturals tend to have more fruit and fermented flavors because the bean has more time to interact with the natural sugars from the cherry.
