Washed Coffee: The washed process is the standard, method of perparing coffee before roasting. It results in high-clarity, delicate flavors. The processbegins with mechanically depulping 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.

Mexican Coffee: The southern Mexican states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz are the country's major producers of coffee, mainly producing Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra varietals. Mexico predominantly produces washed coffees, with flavor profiles that can be heavy on chocolate, simple candy-like sugars, and subtle florals like jasmine and honeysuckle. Some of our favorite examples of coffees that taste unmistakably like dark chocolate that we've roasted were grown and processed in Chiapas.
