Question 1

What does washed DR Congo coffee taste like?

Accepted Answer

washed processing shapes the cup before the roaster ever sees the bean. Across the 12 washed coffees from DR Congo currently on Tamp, including DR Congo Mutendero | Strawberry & Cream, Butterscotch by Lost Sheep Coffee, D.R. Congo Nyamasasa by Trade Coffee, Cold Lab by Caffèlab, the character comes from the interaction of DR Congo's growing conditions with how the cherry was dried. Each coffee below carries the roaster's own tasting notes.

Question 2

Who roasts washed DR Congo coffee?

Question 3

How is washed processing different?

Accepted Answer

Washed coffees have the fruit removed before drying, giving a clean, acidity-forward cup. Naturals dry with the fruit still on the bean, producing heavier, sweeter, fruit-driven flavours. Honey sits between the two. Anaerobic lots ferment in sealed tanks, which pushes the cup further toward intense, sometimes boozy fruit.
