Don Mayo Las Nubes – A New Take on an Old Classic

Don Mayo Las Nubes, much like its counterpart Don Mayo Los Nacientes, represents the culmination of a long-standing friendship with the wonderful Bonilla family. The Bonilla’s own and operate the Don Mayo Micro Mill in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. Through their artisan practice, they produce what we believe is the epitome of specialty coffee in Costa Rica. By employing various growing, harvesting, and processing methods on their farm, they consistently amaze us with the quality and uniqueness of their product.

What is Red Honey Processing?

You might be wondering, what’s the difference between Las Nubes and Los Nacientes? Well, first and foremost, Las Nubes is the result of what is known as red honey processing. Similar to natural processing, the coffee beans are allowed to dry while still encapsulated within the coffee cherry. However, the red honey process differs in that the outer layer of the coffee cherry is removed, leaving behind a red pulpy innard, known as the mucilage. This is where the term “red honey” originates.

One of the reasons farmers have been using this new processing method is to strike a balance between the super fruity and floral flavors of a natural processed coffee, and the cocoay, more “traditional” flavors of washed processed coffees.

One fascinating aspect of this processing method is that it originated in Costa Rica, making the Bonilla’s part of a select group of farmers who employ this technique.
