When coffee reaches you in its roasted form, it has gone through several phases. First as a coffee cherry which is harvested and processed, then as a green coffee bean prepared for roasting. Processing refers to the steps taken to remove the fruit of the coffee cherry and to dry the seed (or bean) to prepare it for roasting. In today’s innovative world, there are innumerable ways to process coffee including plenty of experimental methods. Today we’ll be focusing on the three main methods used to process coffee: Washed Process, Natural (or Dry) Process, and Honey Process.
Washed Process
Definition
Washed Process is the most common method. Freshly harvested coffee is sorted for ripeness and the fruit is removed within 24 hours of harvest so the seeds can be dried. The removal of the fruit layers is called depulping. Before the coffee is depulped, the cherries are rinsed and sometimes a producer will do a float test. This test checks to see if there are any cherries that float in the water, which indicates a defect. If so, the floating cherries will be removed. After this initial sorting, the cherries go through a depulper, which removes the fruit from the seed. This usually happens within 8-12 hours of harvest. Depulping still leaves layers of mucilage, which are fruit fibers clinging to the seed.
After depulping, the sticky seeds will usually go into a fermentation tank for 12-36 hours. All coffee processing methods have at least some fermentation, and the washing process makes this step more moderate than other methods. Fermentation will help soften the fruit mucilage stuck to the seeds so that it will be easier to remove when washed.
After fermentation, the washing begins. The seeds are submerged in fresh water and agitated. This process is repeated a couple of times until the mucilage is removed. Sometimes a producer will then sort the seeds again. After the final sort, the seeds are laid out to dry, often on tarps, with diffused sunlight. To ensure even drying, the coffee will be raked a couple of times per day. The goal is to dry the seeds to 11% moisture after which it is bagged and ready to be shipped to the roaster.
Flavor Profile
Washed process coffees typically have a “clean” flavor. Some say that the washing process allows you to better taste the flavor of the coffee, as washing doesn’t impart a lot of flavors to the coffee. In many of our washed coffees we taste cane sugar, chocolate, and fruit acidity. Washed process coffee is common in Latin American and African countries, and less common in Indonesia.

Natural Process
Definition
Natural (or Dry) Process leaves the fruit on the seed for the duration of the drying process. After the cherries have dried, the fruit is removed. This is the oldest method of processing coffee and is more ecologically friendly, as it does not require water. The cherries are picked ripe, which is important since the fruit itself imparts flavor during this process. They are sorted and weighed before moving to the drying area. Often the drying process is on raised beds, which allows for airflow around the whole cherry. The fermentation process happens as the cherries dry and takes constant attention. It can take 3-4 weeks for the cherries to dry and the seeds inside to reach 11% moisture. After the drying process, the coffee goes through a dry mill which removes the fruit and the parchment layer around the seed. After a final sorting, the coffee is bagged in burlap and ready to ship.
Flavor Profile
Natural coffees typically have a heavy fruit flavor, such as blueberries or strawberries. Sometimes the flavor is described as winey or boozy. The natural process is most common in Brazil, Ethiopia, and Yemen.

Honey Process
Definition
The Honey Process falls somewhere between the washed and natural processes. Like washed coffee, the fruit skin is removed within 24 hours of harvest. The mucilage is left on the seed to dry, which is reminiscent of the natural process in that part of the fruit fibers stay in contact with the seed during the drying process. Like the natural process, the honey process is also more ecologically friendly than the washed process as water is not required. The seeds can be dried in one of several ways including on a tarp on a patio under full sun or piled in a greenhouse for more concentrated fermentation before being raked to an even layer. The fermentation and drying processes take place over 3-4 weeks, depending on weather and the discretion of the producers.
Flavor Profile
There are gradations of mucilage left on the seed during drying, and these levels are called white honey, yellow honey, red honey, and black honey. The flavor profiles range from the almost washed flavor of white honey to the deep fruity flavor of black honey. The final labeling is determined by the cupping profile. This processing method is common in Brazil and Costa Rica.

I was a victim of a cryptocurrency investment scam and I lost 89,000 USD to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months ago, I was contacted by a forex trader to invest in his platform hoping I would make huge profits from my investments, this went on for some time and when it was time to withdraw my investments, I was logged out and I couldn’t access my Bitstockxchange account, I contacted them and they requested I pay 20% before I could access my wallet. I had invested all my retirement and life savings into this platform and was depressed for months until a friend of mine told me about Dark Web Online Hackers recovery company that can help me recover my money, I sent an email to Dark Web Online Hackers and they requested for some information, this company did a thorough investigation and was able to recover everything I lost, I’m truly grateful to Dark Web Online Hackers and I wish to recommend them to everyone who needs their services. Dark Web Online Hackers has a 100% recovery rate and has truly changed the lives of so many victims of cryptocurrency scams.
