Regarding this coffee, the process"washed"implies that the cherries were mechanically pulped, then fermented in water for 24 to 36 hours, and then washed with water to remove the remaining mucilage.

The grains are then placed on drying beds for 7 to 8 days to reach a moisture content between 10 and 12%.
