# Friedhats Coffee Roasters — Ethiopia Chorso Black Honey [Coffee List](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/friedhats-coffee-roasters/ethiopia-chorso-black-honey) Last updated: 2026-11-13T00:22:12.208Z [Friedhats Coffee Roasters](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/friedhats-coffee-roasters) No longer available We bought this coffee through Primavera, a coffee importer that we’ve been buying Guatemalan coffees from for some years. They even had their Dutch office in our roastery for a while. Recently they started doing other origins and we must say, rather successfully. This is a black honey processed coffee from Chorso, Yirgacheffe. Made up of collected cherries from smallholders in the area. Honey process means the cherries are pulped in a way that the pulp is mostly removed but the mucilage (the layer after the pulp) stays mostly intact. Usually this means the cup profile has more sweetness than a fully washed coffee, but not the funkyness of a natural processed coffee. “Black honey” refers to the color of the parchment due to the high amount of mucilage left on the beans before drying. But, honestly, it just sounds good. “Black honey process”.. you kind of want to drink it just because of those words. That’s the magic of marketing. I think Graciano Cruz from Panama actually coined this term, but I can be wrong. Ok cool, but what does it taste like? It tastes like warm black honey in a cup of black tea accompanied by one of those really good peach pastries. Maybe there’s even a slice of lemon in the tea. - Origin: Chorso, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia - Processing: Honey Process - Varieties: Ethiopian heirloom - Roast: Light roast - Tasting notes: Bergamot, Maple syrup, Peach tea - Recommended preparation: Filter - Altitude: 1900–2200 meters ## Prices [Friedhats Coffee Roasters](https://friedhats.com/products/2025-ethiopia-chorso-black-honey) ## Ratings 0/5 (0) ## Estimated taste profile (0–100) - acidity: 78 - bitterness: 25 - body: 25 - character: 30 - sweetness: 71 ## Similar coffees ### [Bocca Coffee — Ethiopia](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/bocca-coffee/ethiopia) Available - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed - $12.38 / 250 gram ($49.54/kg) — Available - $43.56 / 1000 gram ($43.56/kg) — Available ### [Koffiebranderij Fascino — Ethiopië Yirgacheffe Aricha](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/koffiebranderij-fascino/ethiopie-yirgacheffe-aricha) Available - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed - $9.18 / 250 gram ($36.71/kg) - $34.22 / 1000 gram ($34.22/kg) ### [ERNST Kaffeeroester — ETHIOPIA CHELBESA FILTER](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/ernst-kaffeeroester/ethiopia-chelbesa-filter) Available - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed - $17.14 / 250 gram ($68.55/kg) — Available ### [Bugan Coffee Lab — CHELBESA – ETIOPIA](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/bugan-coffee-lab/chelbesa-etiopia) Available - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Washed - $22.11 / 250 gram ($88.46/kg) — Available ### [Nylon Coffee — Ethiopia Chelbesa](https://www.coffeelist.co/b/nylon-coffee/ethiopia-chelbesa) Available - Origin: Ethiopia - Processing: Natural - $21.37 / 200 gram ($106.84/kg) — Available ### [Everyday Coffee — Ethiopia Mr\.
