Yellow Honey AA | Los Locos Coffee

Yellow Honey AA by Los Locos Coffee is a honey-processed coffee, classified AA, a grading term commonly used across the coffee industry to indicate large, well-formed beans, generally associated with careful sorting and higher quality green coffee. Yellow Honey processing sits at the lighter end of the honey processing spectrum: after the outer skin is removed, a smaller portion of mucilage is left on the parchment during drying compared with Red or Black Honey methods, producing a cup with moderate added sweetness and body without the more intense, fruit-forward character heavier honey processing introduces.

This lighter-touch approach to honey processing makes Yellow Honey coffees a useful middle ground for drinkers who find fully washed coffees too clean and natural or heavily honeyed lots too intense, sweet, or funky for daily drinking. The AA grading further signals that the beans going into this specific lot were sorted for size and consistency before roasting, generally correlating with more even roasting and extraction than an unsorted or lower-grade lot.

Los Locos Coffee is one of the specialty roasters featured in Something's Brewing's curated coffee range, contributing to the platform's broader effort to surface a wide variety of Indian and international specialty roasters rather than concentrating on a narrow handful of the most established names. Coffees like this Yellow Honey AA give drinkers genuine variety to explore across processing methods without needing to seek out a specialist roaster's own separate storefront.

Given its balanced sweetness and moderate body, this coffee performs well across a range of brewing methods, from pourover and Aeropress, where its character comes through clearly, to espresso for anyone who wants that honey-driven sweetness concentrated into a shot.

Something's Brewing also stocks other honey-processed lots from different roasters, worth comparing side by side if you want to understand how Yellow, Red, and Black Honey processing methods each shape a cup differently. Store the beans in a cool, dark, airtight container once opened, and grind fresh just before brewing to preserve as much of the honey process's characteristic sweetness as possible. A honey-processed coffee like this also works well as a gift for someone exploring specialty coffee for the first time, since the added sweetness tends to be more immediately approachable than a sharper natural or washed lot.
