Semi-Washed Coffee, also known as honey-processed coffee in some regions, is a hybrid processing method that falls between washed (wet) and natural (dry) coffee processing. This technique allows coffee beans to retain more natural sweetness while developing a smooth body and balanced acidity.
Popular in Brazil, Indonesia, and Central America, Semi-Washed Coffee enhances fruit-forward flavors, making it a favorite among specialty coffee lovers.
✔ Enhanced Sweetness & Body – Retains natural fruit sugars, adding complexity.
✔ Balanced Acidity & Smooth Finish – Less acidic than washed coffee, with a fuller mouthfeel.
✔ Rich Flavor Profile – Combines the best qualities of wet and dry processes.
✔ Sustainable & Water-Efficient – Uses less water compared to fully washed processing.
1️⃣ Coffee cherries are pulped, removing the outer skin but leaving mucilage.
2️⃣ Beans are partially washed before being sun-dried, absorbing extra sweetness.
3️⃣ Dried beans are milled to remove the remaining parchment layer.
4️⃣ Final sorting and roasting bring out its sweet, smooth, and full-bodied characteristics.
