This is specialty coffee at its best. Honey-processed from the heart of coffee country Costa Rica. The process involves removing the fruit skin and allowing it to dry into the bean. The result is often, as the name suggests, a sweet coffee. However, the method gets its name from the fact that when the hard beans dry, they appear to have been coated in honey.
The small farmers behind this coffee all live in Tarrazú, they have an average of 3 hectares of coffee plantations and after harvesting they take the beans to Beneficio San Diego, the most famous washing station in the area. Thanks to the honey processing at Beneficio San Diego, Jaguar honey is a fuller-bodied coffee than if the beans were “just” washed as usual. The brown sugar peeks out from behind the nuttiness and chocolate.
This green coffee arrived at the roastery on August 16th 2024 and is from the 2023/2024 harvest.
