In Honduras, the washed process enhances the coffee’s cleanliness and brightness, highlighting its fruity notes and lively acidity.

After harvesting, the cherries are carefully selected and pulped to remove the outer skin. The beans, still covered in mucilage, ferment in water tanks for 12-36 hours, allowing natural enzymes to break down the remaining sugars.

They are then thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds until they reach the ideal moisture level. This method results in a clean cup, with bright acidity and a well-defined aromatic profile.
