Cultivation and Processing

The coffee cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness. For this Black Honey they are de-pulped, after which part of the mucilage is left on the beans during drying.

Black Honey is the most demanding of the honey methods. The beans dry slowly on raised beds, finished with controlled mechanical drying. They occupy the drying space almost twice as long as yellow or red honey. That slow drying gives the coffee more sweetness and body.

Cup Profile

We tasted notes of cherry, dark chocolate and plum. The Black Honey processing gives a rounded, juicy body with bright acidity and high sweetness, resulting in a rich yet clean espresso.
