Like many agricultural products around the world, coffee has its peak seasons. And depending on which country or time of year, there is an optimal time for harvest and consumption.

Honey process coffee is known for its sweetness and fruitiness. The beans have a low acidity, which makes them versatile enough to use in anything from traditional drip coffee to cold-brewed iced coffee. The beans can be typically more complex than washed coffees. The thing to really understand here is that no honey is actually used to impact the flavor.

Washed coffee is the most common process used in coffee production today. It's also known as "washed/wet" or washed, wet-processed. Washed coffees generally have a brighter acidity and lower mouthfeel than their dry-processed counterparts. As a result, the level of flavor clarity is much higher with this process.

Natural process coffee is a type of coffee that is produced with the help of the sun. “Process” refers to the method in which the seeds are removed from the coffee fruit. With “natural process” or “dry process,” the skin and pulp are left on the coffee berry for up to six weeks to dry.
