Dried-in-the-fruit natural processing turns ripe coffee cherries into green beans through sun drying. Here’s how it works and why some regions still use it.

Ever wonder how your bright Ethiopian or chocolatey Brazilian coffee starts life? Every coffee bean begins inside a fruit—specifically, a coffee cherry with two seeds surrounded by pulp, mucilage, and skin. But those cherries rot fast if left untreated. The key step that follows harvest isn’t roasting or brewing. It’s processing: removing everything but the seed while ensuring it stays intact for months of storage and transport. One of the oldest ways to do that? The natural—or dry—process.
