Dark Matter Aire: Catuai Honey 12oz Bag

The team at SJM's mill has been working year after year to improve the cup quality of their honeys, and it definitely shows with this coffee. At times, they refer to this honey process as "slow jam," with the jammy sweet mucilage left on the beans slowly fermenting and drying on the beans' parchment layer, resembling cracker jacks. The cherries are first dumped into the reception tank and classified, once it has been sorted and floaters have been removed, the cherries are dry pulped. This process uses minimal water to keep as much of that sweet, sticky pulp on the beans to ferment. Allowing the beans to be in contact with the fermenting mucilage brings out more acidity in the cup with balanced sweetness and creates a fuller body in the cup.
