Brazil primarily uses a semi-washed or pulped natural method, not traditional washed processing. Here’s how most Brazilian coffee is processed.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Brazilian coffee is washed the same way as Ethiopian or Kenyan beans, you’re not alone. Most people assume ‘washed’ means traditional water fermentation—but in Brazil, that’s often not the case. So what method does Brazil actually use, and why? Let’s break down the real process behind the country that grows more coffee than anywhere else.
