    Farmer

    A community lot is made up of coffee beans from several smallholder farmers in a specific region, whose individual harvests are too small to process or market separately. By combining their yields, they create a collective lot that still reflects the distinct characteristics of the region. To ensure consistency and avoid mixing different varieties, the farmers aim to grow the same coffee cultivar. This collaborative approach gives them access to better processing infrastructure, helps achieve more consistent quality, and enables participation in the specialty coffee market. Community lots often tell the story of a collective effort—shaped by regional identity, shared commitment, and the diversity of small farms.

      Process

      The honey process is a coffee processing method that strikes a balance between the clarity of washed coffees and the sweetness of natural coffees. After the coffee cherries are harvested, they are depulped, removing the outer skin but leaving varying amounts of sticky mucilage—the “honey”—on the beans. Instead of fermenting in water, as in the washed process, the beans are spread out to dry with this mucilage still attached.

      During drying, which takes place on raised beds or patios, the mucilage caramelizes under the sun, enhancing the coffee’s sweetness and body. The amount of mucilage left on the beans determines the different honey variations: white, yellow, red, or black honey, with darker honeys typically requiring longer drying times and developing deeper, fruitier flavors.

      This method preserves more natural sugars, resulting in a coffee with rich sweetness, a silky body, and balanced acidity, often with notes of honey, tropical fruits, and caramel.
