Know your coffee
ARAKU Signature is 100% Arabica
It symbolises the aromatic balance and roundness that defines our coffees and declares boldly their speciality status. Signature is a coffee for everyone; it’s full of rich character, and those with a discerning palate might even pick up a delicate resemblance to fine tea. The long and clean aftertaste remains sweet and fresh with a bold finish.
Process
Washed & Natural
Process
Natural Process
Natural process, which yields our Signature, Grand Reserve, High Altitude and Micro Climate coffees. In the natural coffee process, the full cherry is dried prior to de-pulping. Natural processed coffee will taste fruitier and have a heavier body as the drying coffee beans absorb some of the sugars from the surrounding fruit.
Honey Process
Pulp-sundried or honey coffee is an eco-friendly process as it generates very little solid and liquid waste. The fruity and sweet notes of ARAKU’s Selection and High Altitude blends are due to the presence of mucilage in the honey-processed coffee. Here, the coffee skin is removed and the coffee is de-pulped to varying degrees but no mucilage is removed and it is sent to the drying yard. The honey process is a rare and unique system that is almost exclusively used by specialty coffee producers as it is simple, affordable and intuitive.
Washed Process
Early Harvest is a washed coffee — these coffees are prized for their clarity and vibrant notes. The coffee cherries go through the Columbian Penagos pulper that removes the sticky mucilage surrounding the coffee seeds, and the coffee is left to ferment for 18-24 hours. Then the coffee is washed in fresh water and sent to the drying yard — removing the cherry prior to drying allows the bean’s intrinsic flavours to really shine. In the semi-washed process, which is also used for ARAKU’s Signature blend, some of the mucilage remains and after fermentation, the beans are sent to the drying yard. The mucilage lends mild sweet and fruit notes to the semi-washed coffee.

Great medium roast
I love this coffee and I am married to it. We have a relationship for life or at least until it's affordable. I'm grateful that I can start every day with this. A great coffee by a great enterprise.
After trying quite a few beans form various sources, finally came across a bean which produces an espresso shot worthy for my morning latte! very well balanced body & flavor with good crema.
