The “honey” process is the result of leaving the bean's sticky mucilage covering intact after the coffee cherry has been de-pulped (when the outer skin gets stripped off the bean). This process does not involve washing the coffee immediately; therefore, it has the environmental benefit of using less water. By leaving the “honey” coat on the bean, it gives the coffee a sweeter taste with subtle notes of chocolate and brown sugar.
