As a reliable Arabica coffee supplier, we offer various cleaning methods that suit your business. We provide natural (dry-hulled), semi-washed (wet-hulled), and full-washed (wet-processed) to clean green coffee beans. Each cleaning method brings different results that impact coffee acidity, flavor notes, and even coffee body. For this reason, it is crucial to know the difference between the 3 cleaning methods before you choose what is a perfect fit for your business.
In a dry-hulled, natural method, the coffee cherries are sun-dried for 20 to 30 days until the moisture content inside the coffee cherries significantly drops to 12%. The sun-drying process allows Mandheling Sumatra green coffee beans to absorb the flavor notes of the fruit. That’s why our Mandheling Sumatra green coffee beans reveal a complex blend of fruity and earthy flavor notes. Once the coffee cherries are parched evenly, the coffee farmers separated the coffee cherries from the dried skin at a dry mill.
For the semi-washed green coffee beans, the skin and pulps of the coffee cherries are removed (de-pulping process). Then, it’s sun-dried without a washing process. Allows the thick-sweet liquid in the outer layer of coffee cherries to stick with the green coffee beans. It takes about 10 to 15 days until the moisture content reaches 10%, slightly drier than dry-hulled green coffee beans. Once the coffee cherries are dried, the coffee farmers remove the mucilage and outer layer by utilizing a coffee milling machine.
Semi-washed green coffee beans possess an intense sweetness characteristic. The flavor note of semi-washed Mandheling Sumatra green coffee beans is sweeter compared to coffee beans processed in other methods, and cleaner when compared to dry-hulled Mandheling Sumatra green coffee beans. Other than that, semi-washed green coffee beans reveal more body and low acidity content, compared to other coffee-processing methods.
The fully-washed coffee process starts with soaking the coffee cherries in a tank filled with water for 24 to 36 hours while checking the quality of the coffee cherries. The good quality coffee cherries will sink to the bottom, while the poor ones will float to the surface.
The coffee farmers will de-pulping the coffee cherries with a coffee pulping machine. Then, the coffee cherries are cleaned once more to thoroughly remove the mucilage and left to soak for 24 to 36 hours. After that, these wet green coffee beans are sun-dried until the moisture content reaches 10% to 12%.
Full-washed Mandheling Sumatra green coffee beans are prized for its clean-bright flavor profile, with a subtle hint of fruity tasting note.
