Honey Processing Method
Honey processing originated in Costa Rica and involves removing the coffee skin while leaving some or all of the mucilage intact during drying. This method allows natural sugars to absorb into the bean, producing a cup with enhanced sweetness, heavier body, and complex fruit character.
At Beneficio San Diego, cherries are carefully selected for ripeness, depulped with precision, and dried slowly on patios or African beds to ensure even moisture reduction and flavor development.
This Costa Rica Tarrazú San Diego Jaguar Honey coffee offers a luxurious, full-bodied cup with layered sweetness and refined fruit character. Ideal for home roasters seeking a balanced yet expressive Central American coffee that shines across a range of roast profiles.
