It's surprisingly gentle and easy to drink, with acidity subtly emerging after the sweetness. On the second sip, the aroma shifts, becoming more reminiscent of herbaceous notes, with a hint of pine. The cup emanates a warm, roasted scent, along with a touch of spice, making it ideal for late autumn, bringing a sense of calm and relaxation. **| Washed Process** The washed process involves removing the fruit pulp from the coffee cherries before drying. This method is beneficial for **reducing defects in the beans**, though it incurs higher processing costs. After pulp removal, the beans are fermented for 12-18 hours. They are then washed using friction and flowing water until smooth and clean. Following the wash, the beans are dried, sun-exposed, and sorted. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53565722517_b96164c3a7_o.jpg
