The red honey process, also known as the pulped natural process, involves removing the skin of the coffee cherries and drying them without washing. Unlike the natural process, some of the fruit remains attached, primarily the sticky mucilage that resembles honey. As the beans dry, this mucilage oxidizes and darkens, influencing the flavor. Red honey beans are turned less frequently than yellow ones during drying, allowing for deeper development of fruity notes. This method enhances the complexity of Dominican Coffee, offering diverse flavor profiles from the same harvest and gaining popularity among coffee enthusiasts.
