    Understanding How Coffee Is Processed

    Why does one coffee taste like bright citrus and another like juicy berries? It comes down to processing — how the coffee cherry is transformed into the finished bean after harvest.

    Fully Washed: Cherries are pulped, fermented in water to remove mucilage, then washed and dried. The result is a cleaner, brighter cup that highlights the intrinsic origin character of the bean.

    Natural (Dry Process): Whole cherries are dried in the sun on raised beds and raked regularly to prevent over-fermentation. This low-water method allows the bean to absorb the natural sugars from the cherry, producing explosive berry, tropical fruit and wine-like flavours.

    Pulp Natural (Honey): A hybrid — pulped but with mucilage left on during drying. Produces a sweet, caramel-forward cup with balanced acidity.

    FAQs

    Who this suits: Best for fans of bright, sugar sweet citrus coffees who want to explore a delicate single origin.

    What's the best way to brew it?
    Pour over or cold drip bring out its abundant juicy Mandarin, thanks to its light roast and bright acidity.
    Should I add milk?
    We wouldn't recommend it — this one's best served black to let the lemon sugar and earl grey tea notes shine.
    What makes it taste this way?
    It's fully washed — the cherries are pulped and fermented before drying — which gives it that clean, bright lemon and mandarin character.
    How fresh will my coffee be?
    We roast in small batches in Robe, SA and only roast what we expect to sell, so your coffee never sits around for long. When we're busy, it's often roasted the same day you order. Order by 3pm for same day shipping.
