Growing coffee is an intricate – and lengthy – process. It takes years for newly planted coffee trees to bear cherries ready for harvesting. And this doesn’t even include the incredible work of farmers that grow these plants and process the harvests. Understanding coffee’s growth and production only deepens our appreciation for each variety’s complex flavors and the cultures and communities that cultivate them. Join us as we explore coffee’s tenuous journey from the farm to your cup.
The washed processing method involves several steps designed to remove the coffee cherry's fruit and mucilage from the bean before drying. It is mainly about cup-cleanliness and precision. Here’s a simplified breakdown:
Natural processing, also known as dry processing, is one of the oldest methods of coffee processing. It's straightforward - after harvesting, the coffee cherries are laid out to dry with the fruit still on the bean. This can be done several ways - on patios, raised beds, or using mechanical dryers. The key here is to dry the cherries evenly and to the right level of moisture, around 10-12%.
