Coffee Processing Methods

Browse specialty coffee beans by processing method, from washed and natural coffees to honey, decaf and fermentation-led lots.

Read the process as a clue

Processing shapes the cup, but it does not write the whole story.

Washed coffees often make room for clarity; natural coffees can bring more fruit and body; honey processing can sit somewhere between. Fermentation-led lots may be vivid and unusual. Use those tendencies to decide where to look, then check the origin and tasting notes for the character of the specific coffee.
