Context

Produced by Danilo Mesquita at Fazenda Terra Nova, this Brazilian offering showcases the distinct profile of the Black Honey processing method. In this technique, the coffee cherry is depulped but left with a significant amount of mucilage intact during drying, which often results in a syrupy body and heightened sweetness. While Brazil is traditionally known for nutty, chocolate-forward profiles, this specific lot from Glen Lyon Coffee leans into a more decadent spectrum, evoking the rich, layered character of Black Forest gateau.

When evaluating such complex profiles, it is helpful to consult a flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances between dark fruit and cocoa notes. Because honey-processed coffees retain more sugars from the fruit during the drying phase, they frequently bridge the gap between the clean clarity of washed coffees and the intense, fruit-forward nature of natural-processed beans. This lot serves as a compelling example of how careful post-harvest handling can transform the traditional profile of a region.
