A washed process demonstrates the essence of a coffee, the quality of the variety, soil, and the washed and drying process carried out by the producer. It consists of depulping the coffee cherries, fermenting the dough to loosen the coffee mucilage, and then wash the remaining honey off. Leaving a completely clean coffee. A good washed coffee is the result of a well-worked coffee.
