00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:02,030
Why does this coffee bag say honey?

2
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:04,660
The answer starts
inside a coffee cherry.

3
00:00:05,572 --> 00:00:07,290
The beans are its seeds,

4
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:10,570
wrapped in fruit
and a sticky layer called mucilage.

5
00:00:12,103 --> 00:00:15,975
What happens before drying
gives these processes their names.

6
00:00:16,698 --> 00:00:19,878
Natural coffee dries
inside the whole cherry.

7
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:25,595
Washed coffee has the fruit
and mucilage removed

8
00:00:25,595 --> 00:00:27,325
before the seeds dry.

9
00:00:29,686 --> 00:00:32,319
Honey processing removes
the skin and pulp,

10
00:00:32,319 --> 00:00:35,399
but keeps some sticky mucilage
during drying.

11
00:00:38,587 --> 00:00:41,805
That honey-like texture
gives the process its name.

12
00:00:41,805 --> 00:00:43,860
No honey needs to be added.

13
00:00:44,979 --> 00:00:46,497
After drying and milling,

14
00:00:46,497 --> 00:00:49,252
the green coffee
is ready for roasting.

15
00:00:51,655 --> 00:00:55,255
So, honey on this bag
describes a processing method.

16
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:57,960
One little word, a whole journey.
