Costa Rica. Black Honey. Optimal ripeness.
Earn 73 PERCUP points on this order
The process begins with collecting 100% mature coffee cherries at their optimal ripeness for specialty coffee. Once the cherries arrive at our wet mill in Patalillo, they are soaked in water and moved via centrifugal pumps through a canal to remove impurities such as stones, floated beans, wood, and leaves—ensuring only ripe cherries remain. The cherries are then drained and sent to horizontal pulpers rotating at 130 RPM, where the skin is removed. The beans are then sorted by size to separate high-quality lots.
For the Black Honey process, 75% of the mucilage is intentionally retained on the beans. The coffee is then transferred to African drying beds at a thickness of no more than 4 inches. Beans are manually turned every 30 minutes to promote even drying, reducing internal moisture to 10.5%. This stage typically lasts 8–10 days. Finally, the coffee rests for at least one month in Grain Pro bags before being dry milled to remove the parchment and prepare the beans for export.
Sourced with care from growers and producers we trust.

Gold Box Roastery — Costa Rica • Black Honey Process • Caramel, Brown Sugar, Red Apple
Costa Rica Black Honey is a carefully executed honey-process lot. Only 100% ripe cherries are used, and the beans are dried with much of their sticky mucilage intact to build deep, syrupy sweetness.
At the Patalillo wet mill, cherries are soaked and sorted, then moved to African raised beds at no more than 4 inches thick.
Beans are turned every 30 minutes to dry evenly to 10.5% moisture over 8–10 days, then rested at least a month in GrainPro bags before dry milling for export.
Deep caramel and brown-sugar sweetness with a crisp red-apple acidity.
A rounded, syrupy body and a long, sweet finish — a comforting, sweet cup.
