About the Process
Black Honey: The coffee is harvested only in March and April, as Excelsa beans take 12 months to ripen. After harvesting, the cherries are floated and later undergo anaerobic fermentation both before and after pulping for a total of four days. This process leaves much of the mucilage on the beans, giving the cherries a rich burgundy hue as they dry slowly on raised beds.
