Processing method

Pulped Natural

A hybrid of washed and natural: the cherry skin is removed mechanically, but the mucilage is left on the bean for drying rather than fermenting it off. Pioneered in Brazil (where it saved water and sped drying), it splits the difference between methods.

What it tends to taste like
More sweetness and body than a washed coffee, cleaner and less fruity than a natural — gentle acidity, chocolate and soft fruit.
