One rabbi will say yes…

Another rabbi will tell him to be quiet because the plantation knows better than random Internet users.

There was a fight on the internet forums about whether Black Honey processing is the same as Perla Negra. Info straight from the plantation – NO, THESE ARE DIFFERENT PROCESSES!!!

Here we have just Perla Negra. The process itself is all-natural, except that Francisca dries the beans not directly under the sun, but puts such a tarp over the coffee, which “protects” it from too aggressive drying. The coffee turns black, hence the name – black pearl. Drying for about 5 weeks, and during these 5 weeks the coffee is turned a dozen times a day!

Despite the hat, it did not lack sunny wildness – here you can find the strong tropics!
