Process: Washed ASOMUJER – Timana – Huila
Colombia is best-known for its Washed coffees. While the processing details might vary slightly from farm to farm or by
association, generally the coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same day, then given an open-air fermentation in tanks or
buckets for anywhere between 12–36 hours. The coffee is washed clean of its mucilage before being dried either on patios, in
parabolic dryers, solar driers, or mechanically. Some Washed coffees in Colombia are mechanically demucilaged
