Introduction
This video explains the differences between natural and washed coffee processing methods. The speaker describes the processes and how they affect the resulting coffee's flavor profile.
Key Takeaways
Natural Process: The entire coffee cherry is dried in the sun before the fruit is removed. This process results in a sweeter, fruitier cup of coffee due to the sugars from the cherry transferring to the bean.
Washed Process: The fruit is removed from the coffee bean before drying. This method leads to a cup of coffee that highlights the bean's characteristics more, often resulting in notes of chocolate, nuts, or other bean-specific flavors.
Flavor Differences: Natural process coffees taste more of the coffee cherry, while washed process coffees taste more of the bean itself.
Rogue Wave's Preference: Rogue Wave Coffee enjoys both natural and washed coffees, prioritizing interesting coffees that showcase the origin and region.
Regional Highlighting: The choice of processing method (natural or washed) can enhance the specific characteristics of the coffee bean's origin.
