Washed processing strips the cherry away before drying, so the bean's own character comes through without fruit influence from natural or honey methods. The result is clean acidity and transparent origin character. If you want to taste where a coffee comes from, start here.

Buying advice

Washed coffees tend to be the most consistent from bag to bag and work well across brew methods. Pour-over is the classic pairing, but honestly, a good washed coffee is hard to mess up no matter how you brew it.
