What is Washed Coffee?
Washed coffee is a method of processing coffee beans where the fruit is removed from the bean before it is dried. This results in a clean, bright flavor profile and is the most common method used in Central and South America.
Sorting
Coffee cherries are placed in water to segregate mature and immature. The mature, high-quality coffee cherries sink, whereas the immature, low-quality ones tend to float.
Pulping
Cherries are passed through a de-pulping machine, which removes the outer layers to extract the seeds, also known as coffee beans.
Fermentation
Seeds are placed in a water tank for 18-24 hours to undergo fermentation, floating seeds are removed during this period.
Drying
Seeds are taken out of the water tanks and dried. The seeds are meticulously dried to achieve a moisture content of 10-12%.
