After depulping, the remaining mucilage is left on the coffee, allowing natural sugars to contribute to sweetness during drying. The coffee is then dried slowly and evenly on African beds or patios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Honey Process Coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHoney processing began in Costa Rica and has since spread across Central America. Though the name suggests added sweetness, it actually refers to the sticky mucilage left on the seed during drying. This style often produces coffees with a pleasing balance of sweetness, body, and clarity — qualities that have helped make honey-process Costa Rican coffees so popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Brew Guide (V60)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25g medium grind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400g at 197°F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16:1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75g → 125g → 150g → 50g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Brew Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4:00–4:25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Grind coarser to speed up, finer to extend brew time.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kafiex Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48709402362088,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/3721\/4696\/files\/costa_rica.jpg?v=1783362646","url":"https:\/\/kafiex.com\/products\/costa-rica-tarrazu-san-diego-honey","provider":"Kafiex Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
