Washed Processing Method
The washed processing method is one of the more popular among the three major processing methods, with most specialty coffee beans choosing the washed method.
Washed method process: Bean selection → Pulp removal → Fermentation → Washing → Drying → Hulling → Sorting and grading → Export.
Advantages: Coffee beans processed through the washed method don't need to worry about mold issues, and the coffee quality is more stable.
Disadvantages: The process is complicated, requiring a continuous supply of fresh water for washing, making it relatively expensive.
Flavor characteristics: Washed coffee is clean without miscellaneous flavors, with a refreshing taste. The coffee usually has bright acidity and fruit aroma, such as Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees that possess extremely clear flavors.
Washed coffee has a close relationship with the coffee bean's inherent flavor. The origin and environmental conditions play a crucial role in enhancing flavors. Almost 100% of washed flavor depends on the natural sugars and nutrients absorbed by the coffee beans during their growth cycle. This method aims to taste the internal flavor of the coffee beans rather than additional flavors attached to the bean surface.
