20 Honey Coffee

Black Tucano Honey Coffee Kit – Single-Origin Yellow Caturra from Espírito Santo, Brazil (250g)

Experience a modern classic in Brazilian specialty coffee with the Black Tucano Honey Coffee Kit. Centered around a meticulously roasted 250g bag of single-origin Arabica from Sítio Alto Santa Joana in Afonso Cláudio, Espírito Santo, this kit celebrates the craft of sourcing, roasting, and brewing exquisite coffee. Produced by Waldir Manske and scored above 86 points on the SCA scale, this lot shines with layered sweetness, a velvety body, and a clean, fruit-forward finish-an everyday ritual elevated for thoughtful drinkers.

Origin, Variety, and Process

Authenticity begins at origin. This coffee hails from the highlands of Espírito Santo at 1,100 meters, where cool nights and steady sunlight coax nuance and balance into the cherries. The variety is Yellow Caturra-compact, delicate, and known for clarity and refined sweetness when handled with care. Producer Waldir Manske oversees meticulous picking and post-harvest work to ensure only ripe cherries make the cut for this single-origin selection.

The Honey process-also known as pulped natural-plays a starring role. After depulping, a portion of the sticky fruit mucilage remains on the parchment as the coffee dries, concentrating sugars and aromatics. The result is a cup with honeyed sweetness, lifted fruit tones, and a round, plush mouthfeel. It’s not flavored or sweetened; rather, the processing highlights inherent characteristics: think cane molasses, golden honey, and a soft raspberry pop. As a bonus, honey processing typically uses less water than fully washed methods, aligning with thoughtful, resource-aware production.

Roasting & Cup Profile

Small-batch roasted by Black Tucano Coffee Roasters, this lot is calibrated to preserve the origin’s identity while unlocking sweetness and texture. Expect a velvety body that carries through the entire sip, framed by medium, rounded acidity and a composed structure that works beautifully across filter methods and espresso alike. The finish is long and clean, with lingering cane molasses and a whisper of raspberry that invites another sip.

Brewing Recommendations

This coffee kit is designed to help you brew confidently at home, whether you prefer pour-over clarity or syrupy espresso. Use fresh, filtered water and grind immediately before brewing. Dial in using the guidelines below, then adjust to taste.

Pour-Over (V60, Kalita, or Similar)

• Ratio: 1:16 (e.g., 22 g coffee to 350 g water)
• Grind: Medium-fine, resembling granulated sugar
• Water Temp: 200°F (93°C)
• Method: Bloom with 2x the coffee weight for 35–45 seconds, then pour in steady pulses to finish by 2:45–3:15 total

Expect heightened raspberry and floral lift, with a rounded sweetness and clean finish.

Espresso

• Dose: 18 g in
• Yield: 36–38 g out

This recipe emphasizes dense, syrupy sweetness-cane molasses and honey-with a soft berry accent and a plush, velvety feel. Excellent as a straight shot or with a light touch of milk.

French Press or Immersion

Craft, Quality, and Sustainability

Black Tucano’s approach honors every step of the chain: selective picking at the farm, patient drying under careful supervision, and roast profiles developed to serve both clarity and balance. By highlighting the Honey process, we not only celebrate flavor, but also a method that often conserves water and respects local ecosystems. Traceability is central here-you know the coffee comes from a single producer, a single site, and a single variety. That focus pays off in the cup with definition and integrity.
