WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

The depulped coffee dry-fermented for 32 hours before washing.
The washed parchment dried on raised beds.
No additives are disclosed.
No fruit, flavoring, inoculated culture, or post-roast flavoring is disclosed.
The documented washed method keeps the processing claim separate from unsupported enhanced or co-fermented terminology.
