Description

A key feature of Gayo Honey Green Beans is the special honey process, a recognised special method of coffee processing, not an ingredient. In this method, coffee is depulped to remove the outer skin, but the sticky mucilage layer is intentionally left on the beans. They then dry on raised beds or the outside patios. The natural mucilage creates a glossy, honey-like coating. There is no actual honey used; the name often refers to the texture and the sweetness that the process helped to bring out.  The more mucilage left on the bean, the deeper the sweetness and body, leading to classifications such as yellow honey, red honey, and black honey.

This processing method gives Gayo Honey Green Coffee Beans a warm, expressive flavour profile. Expect a honeyed aroma with mild fruity notes, rich caramel flavours, and a medium-bright acidity that adds clarity. The body is full and smooth, supported by subtle chocolate, floral, and caramel undertones. With cupping scores of 82–88, these beans consistently meet speciality-grade expectations while offering a versatile character suitable for both light and medium roasting.
