Every morning at TLC Coffees, as the aroma of freshly brewed filter coffee fills the air, there’s an invisible story that begins long before you take that first sip. It’s a story of rain-washed hills, skilled hands, and a process that brings out the very best in every bean: the washed method.
But what does washed really mean—and why should you care?
A Journey Begins in the Rain
Imagine a coffee cherry, ripening under misty skies in the lush highlands of Karnataka. This is where our journey starts. After careful harvesting, our beans don’t just get picked and roasted—there’s a crucial step in between, one that sets TLC Coffees apart.
Washed: The Art of Pure Flavor
In washed processing, the outer fruit is removed from the coffee cherry, and the beans are soaked in fresh water. This soaking isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about revealing. All the sticky fruit pulp is gently washed away, letting the true character of the bean shine.
Why does this matter for your filter coffee?
- Clean, Crisp Flavors: Washed coffees tend to be brighter, more vibrant, and free of muddled flavors.
- No Bitterness: The process removes any unwanted bitterness, giving you a smooth cup every time.
- Consistency: Each brew of TLC’s filter coffee tastes just as great as the last—balanced, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
Why We Chose Washed for Filter Coffee
At TLC Coffees, we believe filter coffee should be an experience—smooth, bold, and honest. Washed processing is our way of honoring tradition and delivering unmatched quality. Every Mysore Blend, every cup of classic filter coffee at our café, is the result of this careful process.
Taste the TLC Difference
Next time you enjoy a tumbler of TLC filter coffee, remember: you’re not just drinking coffee, you’re tasting the result of patient, thoughtful craftsmanship. From the hills to your cup, it’s the washed method that makes every sip clean, vibrant, and uniquely TLC.
So, the next time someone asks why TLC filter coffee tastes so good—tell them it’s all in the wash.
