What is a Honey Process Coffee?
Honey process coffees stand out from the natural and washed processes, being a hybrid combination of techniques. The pulped natural or more known honey process is as the name describes a method in which the cherries are hand picked and selected, then they are depulped and allowed to dry without washing for around 2 weeks. As a result of the drying the cherries are surrounded by a sticky mucilage that resembles honey texture and taste.
