Honey processing became popular in the late 2000s and the results have always been excting for coffee lovers. With honey processed coffees the cherries are partially pulped and left to dry. The flesh is a golden honey colour that gives this method it's name. The resulting coffee has the baked jammy tones we love from natural processed coffees and it also has the clean finish we know from the washed coffees. 

Peru La Florida was founded in 1966. Initially the cooperative consisted of 100 farmers who hoped to combine and market their coffee at better prices and thereby attain a greater level of development. Today La Florida has over 1500 producer associates, all small coffee farmers who epresent 36 communal groups, including Peruvian Sierra colonies and indigenous communities. La Florida coffee is grown between 4,000 and 6,000 feet above sea level. It is shade grown. The combination of elevation and shade means the bean matures slowly, resulting in a harder bean with brighter acidity.
