Fully Washed

Ripe coffee cherries are handpicked and pulped to remove the outer skin and mucilage. After a second wash, the beans are dried in the sun until they reach the desired moisture content. Once dried, the beans are hulled to remove the parchment layer, revealing the green coffee beans inside. Finally, the beans are sorted and graded by size, density, and quality. This results in a crisp, bold cup with pronounced acidity and clarity of flavors.

Naturals

Ripe coffee cherries are handpicked and then spread out to dry in the sun with the fruit still intact. This drying process, which can take several weeks, ensures that the cherries reach the desired moisture content. Once fully dried, the outer fruit layer is removed through hulling to reveal the green coffee beans. This method results in a fuller-bodied coffee with pronounced sweetness and fruity flavors, offering a rich and complex taste profile.

Anaerobic

This process involves fermenting coffee beans in a controlled, oxygen-free environment. The lack of oxygen promotes specific microbial activities that can enhance the coffee’s flavor. Anaerobic fermentation can lead to unique and often more intense flavors, with enhanced acidity and complexity.

Honey Coffee

In this processing method, some or all of the coffee cherry’s mucilage is left on the beans during drying. This imparts a natural sweetness and often results in a more complex flavor profile, with a sticky, honey-like coating on the beans. It can vary from yellow to black honey, depending on the amount of mucilage left and the drying time.
