Brazil Maristella Sauza Yellow Honey

Description

Maristella Sauza is a small family run farm high up in the mountainous region of Parana, Sur de Minas. The farm’s focus is on producing high quality coffee beans that would allow them to receive a better price, thus improving the livelihood of the family and workers employed there. Icatu and Red Catuai make up the varietals grown there.

This coffee is a honey preparation. The washed coffee is pulped, then fermented to remove the mesocarp (mucilage). Honey processing bridges the gap between wet and natural coffees as the cherry is pulped and then dried with the mucilage layer left on the parchment. The result is extra sweetness in the cup.
