Orange peel, honey, mandarin, tea like ending
This coffee is from the Bonilla family’s ‘Don Mayo’ micro mill. This is truly one of the oldest of the micro mills, starting back in 2003, and Hector Bonilla has worked at perfecting production at the facility along with his sons.
Yellow honey process in Costa Rica is known for using less water and shorter fermentation time. As a result, the coffee acquires an acid taste halfway between natural and washed coffees but with a lower risk of unexpected effects such as over-fermentation.

津卡蜜熊® (Kinka Bear®)命名的靈感來自真實存在的可愛蜜熊(Kinkajou)**。蜜熊（學名：Potos flavus）原生於中美洲及南美洲的雨林，屬於浣熊科，蜜熊屬下的唯一物種，非常罕見。蜜熊的體重約2-3KG，身長約50公分左右，但舌頭就長達13公分左右，正方便用來摘果實或從花朵中吃花蜜，圈養下的蜜熊也吃蜂蜜，嗜蜜如命的蜜熊，熊如其名，成為本支作品的最佳代言熊。
哥斯大黎加的咖啡產業在精品咖啡有兩件事可以說最令追香尋味的咖啡人稱道，一是微處理廠革命(Micromill Revolution)，第二就是五彩繽紛的蜜處理，還就在不多久前，關於區分白黃橘金紅黑等各顏色的蜜處理，到底是果膠殘留、乾燥時間、翻動頻率…等哪一個因素，不少業者還各執一見，殊為精品咖啡發展的一頁趣事。我們在挑選這支蜜處理時設定的目標為重現哥斯大黎加蜜處理經典風味的目標，而不是以過度的後製發酵處理來增添非屬豆子及處理法原本特性的風味。2019產季精挑細選的紅蜜批次蜜神(Aris)，初登場即有Coffee Reivew 94分的佳績。
♫ 風味短評
乾香為柑橘、橙皮、紅茶與蜂蜜香氣。啜飲時為蜂蜜、香吉士、西洋梨、蔓越莓與柚子風味，中後段帶有甘蔗香甜感，口感滑順且甜感豐富
