The best honey-process coffees in our catalog

Honey-process coffees occupy a unique space between the clarity of washed lots and the heavy fruit of naturals. In this collection of 20 current offerings, we see a heavy reliance on the technique, with 12 standard honey lots supplemented by white, red, and yellow variations. Costa Rica remains the primary origin, specifically Tarrazú and Santa Maria de Dota, though we also feature selections from Brazil and Hawaii. Catuai and Caturra are the most frequent varieties, providing a consistent baseline for the sweetness these processes encourage. Roasters like Verve, Nomad, and Big Island Coffee Roasters lead our current selection. Whether you prefer the subtle brightness of a white honey or the syrupy body of a red honey, these coffees represent the best of our current inventory.

What to taste for:Look for a syrupy mouthfeel and a balanced sweetness that bridges the gap between clean acidity and deep, fruit-forward notes.
