  • Also known as: Dry Process, Unwashed
  • Technique: Freshly picked coffee cherries are spread out to dry for up to 4 weeks.  The dried pulp is then separated from the bean mechanically at the end of the process.
  • Cost: Cheaper and less technically demanding compared to other methods.
  • Water Usage: Minimal to none. Widely used in regions with limited water source.
  • Taste Profile: Thick mouthfeel with wild and complex flavors. The long drying process allows the beans ample time to absorb the fruity flavors of the cherries.
