About this Coffee: This is a honey processed bean. In the honey process, some or all of the mucilage (fruit pulp) of the coffee cherry - or coffee honey - that coats the parchment is left on during the drying stage, giving the coffee a sweetness that resembles a naturally processed coffee. This Tarrazú coffee was hand-picked, depulped and moved to patios - African beds - where it was dried for a week until it reached the desired humidity.
This is a premium bean (85 cupping score), you're gonna love this coffee.
