Natural Processing Method
These Arabica beans undergo a traditional dry natural processing method that has been practiced for generations. After selective handpicking, the ripe coffee cherries are carefully sorted and laid out to dry in the sun on raised beds. As the cherries slowly dry over several weeks, the sweet mucilage surrounding the beans is gradually absorbed, infusing the beans with incredible fruit-forward notes and luscious body. This labor-intensive process requires meticulous raking and turning of the cherries to ensure even drying.

1. What is Arabica Natural Processed Coffee Beans?
Natural processing, dry processing, or natural sun drying are all names that refer to the same way of preparing coffee. Hereafter we will call by dry processing. According to this processing method, the coffee cherries, after being picked, will be dried on a flat surface to be exposed to direct sunlight.
In order for the coffee beans not to go rancid, they will be stirred and stirred several times a day and covered at night to avoid frost or rain. This coffee dry processing process can last from 3-6 weeks. This is the most traditional way of processing coffee.
2. Does dry processed coffee produce good Arabica coffee?
Dry processing is not highly stable. If you want your coffee to have an ethereal fruity taste, and a sweet, full aftertaste, the dry processing will take a lot more effort than the wet process. While picking coffee, pickers, no matter how careful they are, will leave behind young as well as half-ripe fruits. If these unripe or underripe fruits are not filtered out of the drying batch during the first days.
These young fruits will also change color to brown like the ripe ones. This will make it difficult for us to distinguish between ripe and unripe fruits later. And, if you accept these young fruits in your coffee, the result will not be complete with the smell of young fruit in your coffee.
