About this coffee
No profile in the collection gets by with fewer words: vanilla, cream and butter, and the producer names no other aromas. Behind it lies a honey process for the Bourbon from DARU Farm, using a method Darveris Rivas calls “Coconut Thermal Shock Must”.
A bright acidity, a silky body and a lingering aftertaste complete the creamy picture. In the catalogue, the producer lists the profile under the code C04. A sample is the best way to see how much of the creaminess remains in your roast.

More about the producerProcessing
The designation in the catalogue and what the method means in general.
- producer’s designation
- Honey, Coconut Thermal Shock Must
- Honey
- After pulping, part of the mucilage stays on the parchment and dries with it. The sticky, sugary mucilage stays partly or largely on the seed and dries with it. Honey is the name of the method and does not mean that bee honey is added.
- Coconut Thermal Shock Must
- Thermal shock must with coconut, by the method’s name. The catalogue gives no details. The catalogue name mentions coconut and thermal shock must. It does not say whether coconut water, flesh or extract is used, nor in what amount. Vanilla and cream describe the cup, not an ingredient.
