Honey Processed Coffee:
A honey processed coffee means that instead of the traditional washing away of the fruit that surrounds a coffee bean (seed) prior to drying out, the farms only remove the cherry skin and leave the sweet, fruity mucilage. They then sun dry these beans with the fruity mucilage on large concrete patios, leaving a unique and desirable flavor to the coffee.
Specifically, this coffee is a Yellow Honey, meaning 50-75% of the mucilage was removed prior to sun drying.
Origin Information:
This coffee is from Finca La Isabelia in the Jinotega region of Nicaragua. The farm is family owned and operated and most of the water that is used to water their crops originates from natural springs on the same property. The coffee is cultivated under tree canopy and banana trees, and has gone to the Nicaraguan Cup of Excellence and qualified in the top 15 coffees in the country.
