Washed coffee beans are the result of a process known as "wet processing".

They can be fruity, floral, earthy or some nutty notes. This is what allows washed coffees to convey a variety of terroir and distinctive varietal characteristics. Natural processed coffees can develop distinctive flavors due to the fruity pulp that surrounds the bean.

After the mucilage is removed, the beans are dried by the soaking process in large tanks of water (as in the washed method) or laid out on patios or beds raised in the sun, and turned frequently. This is done until seeds have a moisture content of between 10-12%.

Roasting is the final stage. When the roasting process begins the temperature inside the bean will increase and a cracking sound is heard. This is the moment when vapors start to crack through the outer wall of the bean. This is called the first crack.

After this then the beans can be enjoyed. Light roasts will taste very fresh and fruity as they haven't been roasted long enough to allow the oils to develop. Medium roasts are more bready, with a deeper and richer taste because they've been roasted longer, and darker roasts are often very sweet or even smoky depending on how dark they have been roast.
