The Process:

Honey (or pulped natural) process is a hybrid processing method that combines elements of both Natural and Washed techniques. In Honey processing coffee is depulped but allowed to dry first before washing. Unlike Natural process where most, if not all of the fruit is left on the coffee, only some fruit is left! Fun fact: The reason  “honey processing” gets its name is because while most of the cherry is gone, the remaining fruit becomes golden and the sticky mucilage is reminiscent of honey!
