A Coffee Lover's Guide to Natural Process Coffee: Explore the Sweet, Fruity Notes
Natural process coffee has become increasingly popular among specialty coffee enthusiasts, and for good reason. At Haiku Brew Coffee, we carefully select natural processed beans that showcase the method's distinctive fruity and complex flavor profiles. But what exactly makes this processing method so special?
Natural processing, also known as dry processing, is one of the oldest methods of preparing coffee beans. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are dried in the sun with their fruit intact, allowing the beans to absorb sweet, fruit-forward flavors from the cherry. This traditional technique creates unique taste characteristics that you won't find in washed coffees.
Our natural process Ethiopian Yirgacheffe exemplifies these qualities with prominent notes of blueberry, dark chocolate, and jasmine. The extended contact between the bean and cherry during drying develops these complex flavor notes that make natural process coffees so distinctive and enjoyable.
