Washed Coffees Are Not Done Yet
from Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and Other Stuff Hosted by Oaks, the coffee guy
Send us Fan Mail I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best coffee in the world is most likely a washed coffee. It took me a while to get there, but after trying naturals, co-ferments, double ferments, and everything in between, I keep coming back to washed coffees. There's something about the way they challenge you, the way the flavors stay subtle and restrained at first, and then slowly open up as the cup cools. They don't give you everything up front. You have to work for it. And that's exactly why I love them. In this episode, I talk about why washed coffees are still the most important process in coffee, what they've taught me about patience, brewing, and honestly, life itself. If you've been chasing fruit bombs and experimental processes without giving washed coffees a real chance, this episode will make you rethink what you're missing. Listen to understand why a coffee that makes you earn it is worth more than one that hits you over the head from the first sip.
