Aloha everyone, I had a chance to interview a Hawaiian Coffee Master Roaster, Kamaka, at Koko Crater Coffee Micro Roasters. 

Here is a short video of him explaining the process of Natural Dry Coffee. 

So natural dry means that it takes a little bit more time for them to produce the coffee. 
But what they're doing is they're drying the coffee bean, in its fruit.

Normally, they would remove the fruit, and then it allows the bean to dry much faster, yes?
But it takes away from what the coffee can give itself, yeah?
It's like a manapua. 
Yeah!

So what we do is we ask them to natural dry it and then they go through a dry husking process.
So the whole thing dries as a solid fruit and then they go ahead and put it through an industrial shaking or rotating husk remover. 

All it does is use the weight of the coffee itself to smash the beans and then it slosh off all of the dried fruit.

That taste, that prune... uh coffee fruit taste ends up back on the coffee bean, yeah? And the sweetness that comes with it, because again we're only fooling the sinus, right? We are fooling the sinus into tasting something. 

So the moment we're able to give it a little bit more fruity taste smell, it translates to the tongue. 
It makes sense.

Yeah? I never thought about that. And that's the way we buy most of our local Hawaiian coffees if it's available.

Taste great coffee directly from Kamaka in the Micro Roasting factory in the Honolulu:
