Five ways to process coffee
How a cherry becomes a green bean shapes everything you taste. In the dex, each process is a type.
- WashedClean and bright. Fruit stripped before drying, so origin character leads.
- NaturalDried whole in the cherry. Big berry sweetness with a wine-like edge.
- HoneySome fruit left on the bean. Round body, syrupy sweetness.
- AnaerobicFermented without oxygen. Wild, funky, unmistakable.
- Wet-hulledHulled damp. Earthy, full-bodied and low-acid: the Sumatra signature.
