Natural Process Cambodian Coffee: Flavor and Method

Natural-process Cambodian coffee is dried with the cherry fruit largely intact before hulling. The method can create fruit-forward sweetness and substantial body, but quality depends on ripe-cherry intake, drying capacity, turning, weather protection, moisture stability, storage, and lot separation. The process name alone does not prove a coffee is Fine Robusta or specialty quality.
