The wet or washed method involves mechanically removing the pulp from the beans. After depulping, top-quality wet-processed coffees are transferred to large fermentation tanks where a complex set of operations allows the sticky fruit to swell and loosen from the beans inside. When fermentation is complete, the beans are washed free from the loosened fruit. The coffee beans, with parchment layer intact, are left to dry on large patios. To ensure even drying, the beans must be raked and thereby turned several times each day. Washed coffees are brighter and offer cleaner, more consistent flavours than those processed by the dry method.
