The honey process begins with the harvest, selecting cherries during their optimal ripeness. The skin is removed from the coffee cherries, but some pulp is left on the parchment to dry. This process results in unique qualities and different flavor characteristics, often very fruit-forward, and can reduce the amount of water needed for processing.
Roast: Light
Body: thick
Acidity: complex
Aroma: honeysuckle, vanilla, toasted almond
Tasting Notes: pomegranate, dried apricot, black tea, anise, milk chocolate

Delicious and surprising! I usually shy away from blends that are described as fruity, but I’m glad I trusted the reviews on this one.

While I do, generally, prefer a darker roast, this is lovely and I’m glad that I decided to give it a try. Very smooth with delicate floral notes and a bit of fruitiness.

I like this coffee. I don’t often drink light roasts, but think the microlot idea was cool and wanted to try it! It met my expectations! I hope we get more microlots from Peace!
— Mike H.
This is not my usual choice,
It is a very mild and light energy. I like dark, but I did try it.
— Paula M.
Nice and sweet

Peace coffee beans are responsible for great-tasting coffee. Microlot’s aroma and taste are great! Yum.

Very fragrant with a smooth finish. Absolutely delicious, and supports an equally wonderful farmer.

I’ve been hoping for micros from Peace, and was thankful to give this a go when released. Definitely worth the experience. Aromatic, zesty, and quite complete. Very enjoyable.
— Matt W.
I love the light roasts, but this is the most flavorful blend I’ve tried in a long time. Not a professional coffee taster and can’t attest to the adjectives used in the description on the website—but I’ve been drinking coffee for over 50 years, and this is one of the best.
— John K.
So fragrant, smooth and delicious! I hope this can become a permanent offering among Peace Coffee’s small trove of delightful light roasts <3
— Sarah N.
