Soaked, depulped, and dried slowly for 35 days with the mucilage kept on the bean, this is a soft, layered, and sweet honey coffee that is very easy to fall in love with. In the cup: apricot, yellow peach, honey, and white floral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaysel Abdosh farms in Hambella, within the Guji zone of southern Ethiopia — a region celebrated for its rich biodiversity of heirloom varieties and the depth of sweetness its high-altitude microclimates can produce. At 2,100–2,350 MASL, slow cherry maturation concentrates sugars and builds the rounded, gentle complexity that defines the best Guji honey lots. The careful cherry selection at harvest is central to the quality of this lot — only the finest, most evenly ripened cherries are chosen before the extended drying process begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed Heirloom reflects Ethiopia's extraordinary genetic diversity — with DNA testing confirming over 60 distinct varieties growing across the country, most Ethiopian lots are blends of many co-existing heirloom cultivars, each contributing its own layer of complexity to the final cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honey process at Hambella involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Cherries carefully selected at peak ripeness 💧 Soaking — Cherries soaked before depulping to prepare the fruit for processing 🔧 Depulping — Outer skin removed while the mucilage layer is retained on the bean ☀️ Slow drying — Dried slowly over 35 days with mucilage intact, allowing sugars to integrate gradually into the bean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 35-day slow drying with mucilage retained is the defining step — by extending the drying period and keeping the sticky fruit layer on the bean throughout, the natural sugars are given time to develop fully and evenly, producing the rounded sweetness, gentle body, and expressive fruit character that define this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful Ethiopian honey from one of Guji's most rewarding producers — apricot and yellow peach sweetness wrapped in a warm honey richness, with a delicate white floral lift throughout.
