Honey
Pulped, then dried with some of the sticky fruit left on.
The skin is taken off but some or all of the sticky mucilage stays on the bean while it dries. The more that's left, the darker the honey: yellow, red, black.
It uses less water than washing. Honeys sit between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than a washed, a cleaner cup than a natural.
In the cup Between the two: a natural’s sweetness and body with some of a washed coffee’s clarity.
