Costa Rica Black Honey Coffee – Hacienda La Minita Microlot | 1 lb Bag | Medium-Dark Roast | 100% Arabica Beans
Discover the exceptional taste of Costa Rica Black Honey Coffee, a rare microlot coffee from Hacienda La Minita’s Melico farm. This single origin specialty coffee is produced using the labor-intensive black honey process, where coffee cherries are peeled but retain nearly all of their mucilage during drying. This technique develops an incredibly sweet, full-bodied coffee with mellow acidity and a smooth finish—making it ideal for both black coffee drinkers and espresso enthusiasts.
What makes this process unique is the intense care it requires—longer fermentation, limited space on drying beds, and greater time investment. But the result is worth every step. As highlighted in Perfect Daily Grind, black honey processed coffee offers a rich complexity that’s often described as tasting like a natural drop of honey in your espresso.
Grown at high altitudes in Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region and certified by the Rainforest Alliance, this sustainable, ethically sourced coffee supports biodiversity, conservation, and fair farming practices.
