Characteristics of flavor due to coffee processing

Dry-Process: The dry-process (also known as the natural method) produces coffee that is heavy in body, smooth, sweet, and complex. Most coffees from Indonesia, Brazil, Yemen and Ethiopia are dry-processed.

Wet-Process: Wet-processing coffees are a relatively new method of removing the four layers surrounding the coffee bean.

Pulped Natural: The pulped normal method consists of pulping a coffee, but emitting the fermentation stage to remove the silverskin. This results in a beverages that has characteristics of both a dry- and wet-processed coffee.

Re-passed: There is another type of coffee that has emerged on the marketplace called re-passed or raisins. These coffees are floaters and are frequently discarded with the rest of the floaters.
