The Unique Honey Processing Method of Costa Rica

Costa Rica's Honey processing method (also known as Honey process) is quite distinctive. I only recently obtained these Costa Rica red honey processed beans and came to learn about Costa Rica's unique honey processing method.

The Honey Processing Method:

After removing the fruit skin and pulp, the coffee beans with mucilage are dried. The key to distinguishing different honey processes lies in this remaining mucilage: the proportion of mucilage retained, drying time, and drying method.

Characteristics of the Honey Processing Method:

During harvesting, sugar content is first tested, and only coffee fruits with sugar content between 21-22% are picked. The honey process differs from other processing methods in that it requires drying on AFRICAN BEDS (drying beds). If dried directly on cement ground or soil, the coffee beans are easily scratched during turning, leading to bacterial infection. Direct ground sun-drying can also impart earthy flavors to the coffee beans.

Flavor Differences Between Honey Process and Washed Process:

Higher sweetness than washed process, higher sugar content, and relatively higher body (under the same roast degree)

Honey processed beans need good ventilation during drying, otherwise the retained mucilage can easily ferment or mold, causing off-flavors

Common honey processing methods we typically see include: Yellow honey, Red honey, Black honey

Introduction to Otis Rock Estate

Costa Rica's Otis Rock Processing Mill is an emerging Costa Rican estate. The family cooperative was established in 1994, but it wasn't until 2005 that they created their own processing mill, which now has 17 years of history. Otis Rock Processing Mill is located about 5km north of San Marcos town in Tarrazu, beneath which are ten coffee estates including Hacienda Yanón, with elevations distributed on mountain slopes from 1500-2000 meters, all classified as SHB highest grade.
