White honey processing removes the coffee cherry’s skin and pulp but leaves just a small amount of mucilage, balancing washed and natural styles.

When you taste a coffee that’s fruitier than a washed lot but cleaner than a natural, there’s a good chance it was processed using a honey method. But which one? Among the variations—black, red, yellow, and white—white honey is the lightest in mucilage retention. If you’ve ever wondered how coffee processors walk the line between bright washed profiles and syrupy naturals, the answer lies in how much fruit they leave on the bean after harvest.
