In the honey process, cherries are depulped but the sticky mucilage remains on the parchment as the coffee dries on raised beds. This careful drying allows sugars to slowly integrate into the bean, building sweetness and body while preserving the coffee’s natural brightness. In the cup this lot opens with juicy red plum and raspberry, before finishing with a smooth layer of raw sugar sweetness that ties everything together.
