Coffee Processing Natural – Wild, juicy and straight from nature!

The Natural processing method is one of the oldest and most basic coffee processing techniques, but don't be fooled - its effects are truly amazing! Natural is coffee wildness in its purest form. If you love intense, fruity notes and aren't afraid of a bit of chaos in your cup, this method is for you.

How does Natural processing work?

The Natural (also known as dry) processing process is a tribute to nature in the truest sense of the word. Coffee beans, still enclosed in juicy cherries, are harvested and then laid out in the sun to dry – without first removing the pulp or skin. The cherries dry slowly, infusing the beans with intense sugars and the essence of the fruit, giving them a deep, complex character. During this process, fermentation occurs naturally, giving the coffee a unique depth.

After a few weeks of drying (depending on the climate), the fruit is peeled and the exposed coffee beans are processed further. All this natural fermentation and slow drying gives the coffee its distinct notes of berries, tropical fruits and sweet liqueur. If you like coffees full of life and wildness, with a touch of natural sweetness – this is what you are looking for!

Why is Natural coffee so special?

Compared to more "clean" and controlled processing methods, such as washed , Natural coffee can be a bit more complex and surprising. The process of drying the fruit in the sun makes the flavors more intense, with strong notes of fruit, sweetness, and sometimes even a slight fermentation touch. It is the perfect method for those looking for a rich, juicy experience with a delicate, almost "wild" touch.
