Description
Catuai Red VarietalBlack Honey Processed
With bright flavors of fresh squeezed lemonade and tropical fruits, this Peruvian coffee brings something fun and fresh to your morning routine. The sweet nature of this coffee comes in part from the Black Honey Processing technique done by producer Gregorio Espinoza.
Black Honey processors take fresh, ripe coffee cherries and remove the fruit’s skin and some of the mucilage before drying the beans on raised beds for three weeks. This process takes skill and patience as the coffee must be monitored during that time to ensure nothing spoils in the humidity of Peru. Unlike other honey processes, the Black Honey style leaves more of the coffee fruit on the bean before drying, which gives it a dark and golden color, hence the name.
