After the coffee is harvested, intact cherries are put out to partially dry  on shaded raised beds and then moved to tanks filled with water for a rehydration phase before being depulped. Similar to a traditional honey process, the wet parchment is dried with most of its mucilage still attached in a dehydrating chamber. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis culminates in a cup profile, that is amplified in its wine-like acidity. There is a really beautiful candy character in this coffee's sweetness and mouthfeel. We're tasting pineapple cake, sangria, and candy apple. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poem Roasting","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":54495879332024,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/9484\/7672\/files\/ratnagiri.heic?v=1792690464","url":"https:\/\/poemroasting.com\/products\/india-ratnagiri-hydro-honey","provider":"Poem Roasting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
