nicaragua red honey, el especial microlot from gold star coffee, is a caturra varietal grown in nicaragua and processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. that drying contact with the fruit pulp gives the coffee its characteristic sweetness, showing up in the cup as honey and honeycomb. roasted to a medium level, it sits in a range that suits filter brewing, where clarity and sweetness come through cleanly. a pour over or drip setup at around 93c will let the natural honey-process sweetness read clearly without flattening it out.
