Yellow Honey is a Colombian whole bean coffee from Finca Los Cedros with an SCA score of 85.5 and flavors of honey, tropical fruits, cherry, and caramel. Ripe cherries are hand-selected on the farm’s steep hillsides before undergoing a controlled 168-hour fermentation—96 hours as whole cherries followed by 72 hours with mucilage. A measured layer of mucilage remains on the beans during honey drying, a process that enhances natural sweetness while significantly reducing water use. The farm’s varying elevations and microclimates contribute additional depth and complexity to the cup.
- SCA Score: 85.5
- Flavor: Honey, Tropical Fruits, Cherry, Caramel
- Roast: Medium-Dark
- Origin: Colombia
- Variety: Castillo, Colombia
- Grind: Whole Bean
- Altitude: 5900-6200 FT
- Process: 168-Hour Fermentation + Honey Drying
- Ingredients: 100% Arabica Coffee
On the Farm's steep hillsides, workers hand-select only the ripest cherries, using a funnel-style collection system that keeps the harvest moving efficiently from slope to processing.
Their Yellow Honey stands out for both its process and its flavor. Using an eco-conscious honey method, a carefully measured layer of mucilage is left on the bean, enhancing natural sweetness while significantly reducing water use. The coffee then undergoes a long, controlled fermentation totaling 168 hours, beginning with 96 hours as whole cherries before transitioning to 72 hours with mucilage. This extended process, combined with the farm's varying elevations and microclimates, builds a cup with depth and complexity that is hard to replicate.
At finca Los Cedros, tradition and innovation work side by side to produce coffees that truly stand apart.
