The Kinkajou (scientific name: Potos flavus) is native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It is the sole species within the Kinkajou genus, belonging to the raccoon family, and is quite rare. Kinkajous typically weigh around 2-3 kg and measure about 50 cm in length, but their tongues can extend up to 13 cm, perfectly suited for picking fruits or extracting nectar from flowers. In captivity, Kinkajous also consume honey, showing a strong affinity for it. Their love for honey, as their name suggests, makes them the ideal ambassador for this particular coffee. Costa Rica's coffee industry is renowned in the specialty coffee world for two key contributions: the **Micromill Revolution** and the **vibrant spectrum of honey processing methods**. Not long ago, the distinctions between various honey processing colors—white, yellow, orange, gold, red, and black—and the factors determining them, such as mucilage residue, drying time, or turning frequency, were subjects of diverse opinions among producers, adding an interesting chapter to the development of specialty coffee. When selecting this honey-processed coffee, our aim was to recreate the classic flavors of Costa Rican honey processing, rather than introducing characteristics not inherent to the bean and its processing through excessive post-fermentation treatments. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873103724_9f7efc217e_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53871850452_a9f92fbaf9_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755731_244938168a_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873169780_41d8ceb1ea_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755691_11c6505655_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873103659_17e7fd27d2_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755686_722f35ed7e_o_d.jpg
