Gui Ben Honey Process

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Yunnan, China, a region where ancient tea traditions meet rising coffee cultivation. It is processed using the honey method, where mucilage is partially retained during drying. The flavor profile features plum and roasted almonds with caramel sweetness, balanced by citrus notes and toasted white sesame seeds. The coffee has a silky body with balanced, bouncy acidity.
