honey drizzle
honey drizzle is a sweet and balanced coffee from the tarrazú region in costa rica. this lot, composed of caturra and catuai varieties, has been processed as a red honey, resulting in notes of honey, nectarine and almond.
the ripe, handpicked cherries are depulped, leaving the mucilage intact. after depulping, the beans are dried on covered patios for around 12 days. the beans are then transferred to a mechanical dryer for an additional 3 days.
