Washed Process Coffee

Clean tasting and consistent, washed coffees are cleaned of all fruit before drying. Washing reduces the risk of defects and is often less labor intensive than natural process coffee.

Washed

Washed coffee is processed as soon as the fruit is picked then passed through various pieces of equipment where the coffee beans are mechanically sorted, pulped (essentially being cleaned of any fruit and its sugars) and fermented. When the beans have been fully processed they are dried in order to reach perfect moisture levels.

Often described as having a 'clean' taste, this is by far the most popular process in the coffee world as washing reduces the risk of defects in the coffee and creates a more consistent final product- providing better profits to producers.

Many think this is also the truest taste of coffee, as you can taste intrinsic qualities of the varietal and of the origin's terror as you taste the pure form of the coffee bean.
