More Info
The freshly harvested cherries are immediately placed in large tanks, and the lighter cherries that float are removed. This marks the beginning of the extensive Honey process for these beans. After being immersed in the tanks, they are directed to pulping machines and demucilagers, which typically remove almost all of the mucilage layer, but in this case, only 50% is removed. The drying phase, done entirely under the sun, is crucial for the Honey method, as it should neither be too fast, which would prevent the flavors from being absorbed by the beans, nor too slow, as it could lead to the development of mold. Specifically, for this Yellow Honey process, the drying duration is 8 to 10 days.
