* The natural or 'natural' processing method in coffee production is one of the oldest post-harvest techniques, where after harvesting, the coffee seed is dried with the entire cherry intact. In Brazil, natural processing is highly popular because it efficiently harnesses solar energy for drying coffee. This method is also cost-effective, requiring less water and technical resources compared to other processing methods.
