Question 1

What does natural Sri Lanka coffee taste like?

Accepted Answer

natural processing shapes the cup before the roaster ever sees the bean. Across the 8 natural coffees from Sri Lanka currently on Tamp, including Indulgence (200g, 500g) by Soul Coffee Roasters, Intense (200g, 500g) by Soul Coffee Roasters, Sri Lanka, Dunsinane Estate, Lot 2219, Natural Anaerobic-Milk Chocolate, Nuts & Sweet Dried Fruits (200g) by Damn Fine Coffee, the character comes from the interaction of Sri Lanka's growing conditions with how the cherry was dried. Each coffee below carries the roaster's own tasting notes.

Question 3

How is natural 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.
