Processing For this lot, the process is Co-fermented with Lulo, Washed. Co-fermentation introduces the named additional ingredient during processing, where it interacts with the coffee and fermentation environment. This can change aromatic expression and texture; the final cup also depends on drying and roasting. In washed processing, the fruit pulp and remaining mucilage are removed before the coffee is dried. This approach often emphasizes a defined structure and separation of flavors, while fermentation and drying choices still influence the result.
