Ethiopia Mikiyas Bogale White Honey-Filter-250g

Ok let’s clear up some confusion. First- no, there is no honey involved in honey processed coffee.  

So what is honey processed coffee? It sits somewhere between washed and natural processing, where the coffee cherry is removed to some varying degree, then dried with differing amounts of mucilage left on the bean. Not truly washed, not truly natural. To get more particular, you’ll often see coffees called white, red, or black honey processed. This is referring to the amount of mucilage left on the bean, and the color that it takes on as the drying occurs, with white having the least mucilage, and black having the most. The exact amount of mucilage that constitutes white, red, black, or other labelled honeys will vary by farm or producer, but it’s best to know that the lighter the color, the less mucilage, and vice versa.

Because this is a lighter honey, it hits a lot closer to a stunning washed Ethiopia. It’s a cup bursting with florals, with the vibe of being on the beach on a cold day in a warm hoodie with the sun warming your face. Summer may not be eternal, but your fond memories of it are.
