lot l42 is a honey-processed coffee from panama, sourced by r ki coffee lab and grown with caturra, pacamara, and bourbon varieties. the honey process, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, contributes to the sweetness and body you get in the cup. expect honey and honeycomb as the dominant flavors, with a naturally sweet, slightly syrupy character. because honey-processed coffees carry fruit-derived sweetness without the fermented edge of naturals, they suit filter methods that highlight clean sweetness, such as pour-over or aeropress, using water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind.
