The process

Washed

The fruit is removed before drying, so the flavour comes from the bean itself. Washed coffees taste clean and bright.

Washed process

Step by step

  1. 01 / 06Harvest

    Only ripe red cherries are picked by hand.

  2. 02 / 06Pulping

    The skin and most of the fruit are removed the same day.

  3. 03 / 06Fermentation

    The beans rest in tanks for 12–48 hours to loosen the sticky mucilage.

  4. 04 / 06Washing

    Clean water rinses the beans until they feel like gravel.

  5. 05 / 06Drying

    Two to three weeks on patios or raised beds, turned by hand.

  6. 06 / 06Milling

    The parchment is removed and the green coffee is graded for export.
