For washed coffees prepared traditionally, fruity and floral acids are most dominant when the coffee is slightly under-extracted; however, modern coffee processing techniques introduce new flavor compounds that may be less extractable, so some modern coffees require higher extraction yields to achieve fruity or floral notes.

Evidence Quote

If we go to washed coffees, as it's traditional, I think they are dominant when they're slightly under-extracted. But now, when we have so many new processes, new flavors generated that they were not present in a traditional washed coffee, we still see some other effects that are happening.
