Gayo Honey Arabica Coffee Beans

Single origin, specialty grade, Honey process. Roasted after your order is placed.

THERE IS NO HONEY IN THIS PROCESS >>

“Nature’s golden balance. Gayo Honey is a love letter from the Central Aceh Highlands. By letting the sun dry the beans with their natural fruit nectar, we’ve created a cup that is exceptionally sweet and silky. From the delicate floral aroma to the lingering caramel finish, it’s the perfect companion for those who seek sweetness without the sting.”

It is called Honey, but no honey is added. The term refers to the sweet, sticky mucilage beneath the coffee cherry's skin, which is left clinging to the beans during drying. The name describes the appearance and color of the dried mucilage, not a honey-like flavor.

We make this clear because many buyers assume this is honey-flavored coffee and end up disappointed when they brew it.

What you actually get is a middle ground. Our Gayo Natural is full-bodied, fruity, and a little wild, while our Fullwash is clean but can feel dry. Honey sits right between the two.

Chocolate provides the foundation, fresh red apple brightens the middle, and black tea finishes the cup with a clean, dry character. The sweetness is moderate, the acidity is gentle, and the body is comfortable.

This is the lot that is hardest to brew badly and the safest choice when buying coffee for someone else.
