About this blend
This is a blend of coffees from Colombia, Honduras and Peru. Roasters blend origins to balance each other, for example pairing a sweet, chocolatey base with a brighter, fruitier coffee, and to keep the flavor consistent from batch to batch.
What the process means
In the honey process the skin is removed but some of the sticky fruit is left on the bean while it dries. It sits between washed and natural, usually sweet with a rounder body.
