Organic 18 Rabbit Black Marcala Honduras – Bean

Observations

Red and Yellow Catuai:
Natural process with red and yellow Catuai, There are two colors on the beans, the brown color beans have a very thin brown skin but firmly attached to the bean, the green color beans also have the same skin but just more transparent and no color, after we remove that skin, all the beans are in the same green color. I am wondering if the brown color is from red Catuai from natural process (Cheery color blend in to the skin)
These beans are very dense, they are small compare to other beans, very hard and sweet.
medium : 2/5 inch 52/91= 57.14% of total
small: 3/10 inch 39/91 =42.86% of total
average weight: 0.56/91= 0.00615
Overall (rate 7/10): small size but super hard and dense, sweet and fresh

BLACK HONEY
Black honey is the most complex, laborious, and expensive. This is because it takes the longest time to ferment and takes up space on the drying beds for up to twice as long compared to yellow & red honey processing.
Dry time: 15 days
Technique: covered by a black plastic tarp while turned on raised African-style beds. 
Flavour profile: full-bodied, sweet with fruity/pulp depth.
Mucilage: 100%
