Robusta Coffee Honey Process
- Size: Medium Beans
- Quality: Premium
- Characteristics: This type of coffee is processed using the "honey" method, where the beans are dried with some of the mucilage (the sticky layer surrounding the beans) still attached. The result is a sweet, fruity profile with a syrupy body. Robusta beans processed this way offer a unique balance between the boldness of Robusta and the mild sweetness derived from the honey process. The coffee is less bitter, with pronounced notes of brown sugar, chocolate, and tropical fruit.
- Usage: This coffee is often used in premium coffee products, particularly for espresso or high-end coffee brewing methods.
