What this processing label does not prove

The method name alone does not establish ingredients, fermentation time, microorganisms, drying conditions, farm identity or cup quality. Ask for a documented producer or roaster protocol before treating those details as facts.

These references support the general method description, not a particular producer’s undocumented recipe or cup score.
