We usually see the treatment of honey: yellow honey, red honey, black honey.

Yellow honey: about 40% of the pectin is removed; the drying method requires the most direct heat absorption, receives the most light drying, and lasts for about 8 days to reach a stable water content.

Red honey: about 25% of the pectin is removed; it takes longer to dry than yellow honey, and reduces direct exposure to sunlight, even in shading sheds, lasting about 12 days.

Black honey: hardly remove pectin; dry for the longest time, lasting at least 2 weeks, with a cover to avoid too strong sunlight, prevent drying too fast, and make sugar conversion more fully.

Although Costa Rica has won the recognition of coffee gluttons through honey-treated coffee beans, it is also closely related to Costa Rica's superior geographical and climatic conditions, and the selection of Arabica varieties of coffee. Costa Rica's high-quality coffee beans are called "very hard beans" (SHB), and the quality of hard beans (HB) and slightly hard beans (SH) decline in turn, and this is also the way it is graded. Extremely hard beans grow at an altitude of more than 1500 meters, and altitude always represents the quality of coffee, and high altitude means better quality. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees; and high altitude night temperature is low, resulting in slow growth of trees, so that coffee fruit better absorb more nutrients, coffee flavor is also richer.

Kaduai is an artificial hybrid of Kaddura and Mondu Novo. Kaduai has a good ability to resist natural disasters, especially wind and rain.

Kaduai tree species are relatively low, compared with other coffee trees, the fruit of Kaduai is stronger and harder to pick. The fruit is both red and yellow. So far, it has not been found that yellow fruit tastes better than red fruit. On the contrary, some people found in the cup test that although the coffee processed by some yellow fruits has good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee taste is worse than that of the red fruit.

Kaduai was cultivated in Brazil and is now widely grown in Central America.
