Sun Dried
Sun Dried is a general term that can apply to various coffee processing methods where solar energy is the primary means of drying the coffee. This can include both natural (whole cherry) and washed processes. In natural sun-dried coffees, whole cherries are spread out to dry in the sun, typically on raised beds or patios. For washed sun-dried coffees, the beans are dried in the sun after the cherry flesh has been removed and the beans have been washed. Sun drying is the traditional and most energy-efficient method of drying coffee, but it requires consistent, sunny weather and is labor-intensive, as the coffee must be regularly turned and protected from rain. Sun-dried coffees often have more complex flavor profiles compared to mechanically dried coffees, with enhanced sweetness and body.
