Our coffee
Four processes. Pick one, ask for its sample.
Process
Honey
The cherry is dried with part of the fruit left on the bean, and in some cases covered while it dries. «Honey» does not promise a honey flavour: it names the mucilage, the sticky, sugary layer around each of the two seeds.
- Origin
- Las Capucas, Copán, Honduras
- Called
- Honey (miel)
Process
Washed
Here everything depends on the bean taking in the nutrients and sugars it needs through the whole cycle, so variety, soil, climate, ripeness, fermentation, washing and drying all count.
- Origin
- Las Capucas, Copán, Honduras
- Called
- Lavado
Anaerobic
Process
Anaerobic
The coffee, with its pulp or with the mucilage only, ferments for a set number of hours in a sealed tank, so no oxygen gets in.
- Origin
- Las Capucas, Copán, Honduras
- Called
- Anaerobico
