What is HONEY processed coffee?

Honey processed coffee

First developed in Costa Rica, the honey processing method is now spreading to other Central American coffee growing areas. The beans have a natural sweetness and are ahhhh-mazing! Honey processed coffee has an intense and rich, sweet flavour with elements of tropical fruit and lower acidity than other natural processing methods.

Wet, Dry & Honey Processed Coffee

Before we get into how the honey process works, let's look at the different processing methods…

Goldilocks & the 3 water temperatures

Goldilocks & the 3 water temperatures

Too hot, too cold, just right….

After Goldilocks had eaten the bears’ porridge, she decided to make coffee.

The first time she boiled the kettle and poured it right away, using water that was too hot.  “Oh!” she cringed, “this coffee is bitter.”

So she  made more coffee, without heating the water again. This time it was too cold.  “Oh!” she said, making a disappointed face, “this coffee is sour and weak.”

The third time she heated the kettle to a boil then let it cool for just under a minute before she poured it. “Ah!” she sighed, sipping her java contentedly, “this coffee is just right.”

And that’s all you need to know.

You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on an expensive kettle.  But you can if you want to!
