This delicate and meticulous process involves careful maintenance of the raw coffee bean and the mucilage that envelops it. Honey process coffee is picked at the maximum possible ripening stage while preserving as much of the mucilage as possible. The beans are then depulped, and rushed down the mountain as quickly as possible to allow for sun drying and to ensure maximum mucilage retention. Keeping the mucilage intact with the crop provides the beans with fruitier flavors. As the beans dry, the mucilage often seeps inside, infusing with the cherrys natural fruit juice and further impacting the tastes associated with the coffee.
