What Is Washed Process Coffee?

Washed process coffee (wet process) is the most common specialty method. Fruit is stripped before drying, so the cup tastes clean, bright, and true to origin.

How washed processing works

Cherries are pulped, fermented in water for 12-72 hours, washed clean, then dried. You taste the bean, soil, and altitude, not extra fruit fermentation.

What washed coffee tastes like

Clarity, brighter acidity, floral or citrus notes, and a clean finish. Kenya, Colombia, and Guatemala washed lots show this well.

Washed vs natural

Washed = precision. Natural = fruit sweetness. Neither is better. If you want to hear origin clearly, start washed.
