Description
We love being able to showcase the same coffee in different ways! Black Honey comes to us from the Ramirez Estate in Dominican Republic. It is one of 3 coffees we carry from Ramirez Estate.
Processing
Black Honey is a honey process coffee. The honey process is like a combination of washed and natural processes. Some of the coffee fruit is left on the bean. Then the farmers wash the coffee bean with some water and the mucilage from the fruit (this is the ‘honey’ part). As a result, the honey process is more eco-friendly because it uses less water. It also imparts sweetness to the coffee with a hint of fruit. In this case, Black Honey hints at chocolate covered cherries. What’s not to love about that?!
Roast Level
Black Honey is a City Roast. City Roasts are pulled from the roaster just as the bean turns a chocolatey color. At this stage, the coffee’s authentic flavors shine without any smokiness or oil. This Dominican coffee is on the light side of medium where the milk chocolate sweetness comes through. At this roast level, the mouthfeel is pleasant and doesn’t linger too long, and the sweetness is perfectly balanced with Bing cherries.
Traceability
We love working with Ramirez Estate because their coffees are Certified Organic and Direct Trade. Black Honey is no exception, which means you can feel good about where this coffee comes from.
