you'll taste caramel before honey. this is hawaiian sea salt caramel sauce, a honey hawaii from island vintage coffee.
it tastes of caramel, honey, and honeycomb, offering a naturally sweet, syrupy cup that leans toward dessert territory. these qualities come from the honey process rather than any added flavoring.
this coffee is grown in hawaii and processed using the honey method, which means some of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. that retained sugar layer contributes to the sweetness and body in the finished cup.
pour over or drip brewing will highlight its fuller body and caramel sweetness, which are characteristic of honey-processed coffees. keep water temperature between 90-93°c to keep the brew balanced and avoid unwanted bitterness.
