Black Honey – The seeds from the ripest coffee cherries are removed of their skin and pulped. This cherry seed has a mostly all of its mucilage left on it. Mucilage is the sticky fruity substance caked on the seed. It is also essential to determining the sweetness of your final brew! Unlike other methods, in which the mucilage gets removed, honey processed involves leaving this mucilage on while the cherry seed ferments with continuous rotation.
