What Is Natural Coffee Processing?

Natural coffee processing, also called the dry method, dries whole coffee cherries in the sun before hulling. Here’s how it works.

When you sip a coffee with deep sweetness, bold fruitiness, and heavy body, there’s a good chance it was processed using the natural—or dry—method. But what exactly does that mean, and how does drying whole coffee cherries change your cup? If you've ever wondered why some coffees taste like blueberry jam while others are clean and bright, the answer starts with how the beans were processed after harvest.
