Gold Mountain Coffee Growers is a direct trade farming group that connects farmers of high-cupping specialty coffee directly with coffee roasters. Their flagship coffee farm (Finca Idealista) is in Nicaragua. With a team of 80 growers, they remove imperfections on raised drying beds on conveyor belts by hand. For honey process the beans are dried with the sweet, naturally-occuring honey-like layer outside each bean, some of which penetrates the bean, giving it a taste similar to honey. To prevent fermentation, the honey processed coffee is rotated every 12 minutes at first until it dries in the sun.
