About Washed Coffee: The washed process is the standard method of preparing coffee before roasting. It results in high-clarity, delicate flavors. The process begins with mechanically de-pulping the coffee cherry, followed by repeated washing with clean water to ensure the complete removal of the fruit mucilage. The coffee is then fermented for a short period of time to remove the parchment layer, and then dried in the a single layer either in the sun or in shade for several days.
