Thenatural method is often used in areas with water shortages, particularly in Africa and dry regions of Latin America, such as Brazil. In dry processing, the cherries are spread out on concrete slabs or beds and dried in the sun or using dryers. The coffee is turned regularly to prevent mold and unwanted fermentation.
