Processes

  • Washed Process

    For Washed Processed Beans, the husks are removed from the coffee cherries. They are then cleaned thoroughly before being set out on drying tables to dry. This drying process is a very important piece of the coffee puzzle. A bean with too much humidity will have a short shelf life. The humidity level wanted for coffee is between 10-12%.

  • Natural Process

    For Natural Processed Beans, coffee cherries are washed and then thrown directly on to drying tables or tarps to dry. The entire cherry will dry until it is peeled. A natural processed coffee will tend to have stronger flavors brought on by remaining in the cherry for longer durations of time. These flavors often come from the crops grown around the coffee!

  • Honey Process

    For Honey Processed Beans, the husks are removed from the inside of the coffee cherry. The husks, unlike the washed processed, are never rinsed and are then fermented with local honey for up to 72 hours. Afterward, the fermented husks are dried completely. Our honey processed coffees have a deliciously sweet, milk chocolate aftertaste!

Z Beans Coffee’s Process Variety Pack offers a curated selection of coffees processed through natural, washed, and honey methods, providing a comprehensive tasting experience. This assortment allows coffee enthusiasts to explore the distinct flavor profiles that each processing technique imparts. Natural processed coffees are known for their fruity and complex flavors, as the beans dry inside the whole cherry, absorbing the fruit's sugars. Washed coffees, on the other hand, are celebrated for their clean and bright taste, achieved by removing the fruit before drying. Honey processed coffees strike a balance between the two, offering a sweet and full-bodied cup, as some mucilage remains on the bean during drying .​Trianon CoffeeCRU Kafe

Understanding these processing methods enhances appreciation for the diversity in coffee flavors. The natural process, being the oldest, often results in a syrupy body with intense fruitiness. The washed process, prevalent in many regions, yields a cleaner cup with pronounced acidity. Honey processing, a hybrid method, retains some of the fruit's sweetness while maintaining clarity in the cup . By sampling all three, coffee drinkers can discern their preferences and deepen their understanding of how processing affects taste.​Serious EatsTrianon Coffee
