Collection: Natural Process

In the natural process, the entire coffee cherry is dried in the sun after harvesting. The beans are left inside the cherry during drying, and the mucilage naturally ferments and dries on the beans. Once dried, the beans are hulled to remove the dried cherry and mucilage.
