Black (Honey Negro)

Black honey treated coffee beans dried in the dark for the longest time, the shorter the light time, the drying time for at least 2 weeks. The black honey treatment of raw coffee beans is the most complex (because of the longer drying time, it takes longer to check to prevent the coffee beans from mildew and fermentation), the labor cost is the highest, so the price is the most expensive.

The coffee beans produced at the high latitudes of Costa Rica are famous in the world, full-bodied, mild in taste, but extremely sour. The coffee beans here have been carefully processed, which is why they have high quality coffee. Located in the south of SanJos é, the capital of Tarasu, Costa Rica is one of the most valued coffee growers in the country. The cultivation of coffee in this area has a long history, but in the past 10 years, the new "dry" treatment has become a trend, collectively known as "honey treatment". Honey treatment is a method between sun-drying and water washing. It keeps the coffee clean by washing, and because it is dried in the sun with the pulp mucosa, it greatly increases the sweetness and caramel flavor of the coffee.

Although the development of boutique coffee started relatively late, but now Costa Rican boutique coffee is developing rapidly, with honey-treated mild acidity, soft taste and sweet high-quality berry flavor, it is not to be underestimated. And the so-called honey treatment method: refers to the coffee beans in the washing method to remove the peel and flesh of the step, select the remaining part of the pectin pulp to carry out a fermentation process, this treatment is honey treatment. According to the amount of remaining pectin meat, there are different flavors and names. For example, Costa Rica with yellow honey has about 25% pectin left over, red honey is about 50%, and black honey retains about 80% of pectin flesh. The most obvious difference between them is that they are sweeter from yellow, red and black. Coupled with the rich fruit rhyme, it is deeply loved by all the coffee gluttons.
