Washed & Dried • Volume 3

Washed & Dried is our signature washed offering, meant to highlight affordable yet exceptional washed processed coffees. As coffee goes in out of seasons, we will constantly be searching for fresher crops, introducing new “volumes” every 4 - 6 months. Washed & Dried Volume 3 is from a washing station in Ethiopia called “Feyisa Abamecha”

WHAT IS WASHED PROCESSING?

Processing refers to the method a coffee farmer takes to get the coffee from within the cherry, to a dried seed that’s ready to be exported to us. Washed processing is often considered the “standard” processing method in specialty coffee, usually accentuating brighter, crisper acidity and cleaner brews.

Coffee cherries are depulped, leaving coffee seeds covered in mucilage (The flesh of the coffee cherry).

After depulping, the seeds are fermented in tanks (often 12-48 hours) to break down the mucilage.

The seeds are then removed from the tanks and the mucilage is washed off.

The coffee is then dried for around 5 - 15 days forming a hard, papery shelled known as parchment.

Finally the green coffee is milled of it’s parchment layer, and sent to us!
