Coffee Bean Corral's Ramirez Estate listings make the difference concrete because both come from Jarabacoa at a listed 1,400 masl and both are organic, yet one is washed while the other is honey processed.

The Red Honey is currently sold out, but the side-by-side still shows why process matters: even when estate and origin are similar, the sensory direction can shift.
