The parchment was pulped white honey and fermented in the remaining mucilage. It was then moved to shaded raised beds and dried under filtered sun with steady airflow. Roaster's notes: I don't see too many White Honey processed coffees coming out of Ethiopia, so when this one came by the sampling table, I was super excited. We get very delicate notes with this one. It's big on florals and not too forward with the fruit. In my sample notes, I mentioned "vibes of panama with the tea-like textures of an eth".
