What Is Honey Processed Coffee?

Sweet Fermentation Meets CBD-Infused Coffee Calm

If you’re looking for a coffee experience that balances sweet complexity with smooth energy, look no further than honey processed coffee. At Buddha Beans Coffee Co., we take this unique fermentation method one step further by infusing it with full-spectrum CBD for a cup that’s as calming as it is flavorful.

Whether you're a seasoned specialty coffee enthusiast or a curious CBD coffee explorer, understanding the honey process is key to unlocking a deeper appreciation of what's in your mug.

What Is Honey Processed Coffee?

Honey processing is a post-harvest method used by coffee producers to develop flavor by leaving some of the fruit’s mucilage (the sticky layer around the coffee bean) on during drying. Despite its name, no actual honey is used. It's called “honey” because of the golden, sticky texture the beans retain as they ferment.

This method sits between washed and natural processing and is known for producing coffee with:

• Balanced body and brightness

• Natural sweetness

• Rich fruit and floral notes

• Silky, syrupy mouthfeel

Depending on how much mucilage is left on the beans, honey-processed coffee is categorized into:

• White honey – very little mucilage; clean and bright

• Yellow honey – light sweetness, citrus notes

• Red honey – deeper sweetness, berry tones

• Black honey – the most fermented and funky; rich body and complex flavors
