The method of primary processing of coffee beans-honey treatment
A few years ago, a fad of expensive Indonesian Kopi Luwak introduced domestic consumers to the concept of diversified production technologies for boutique coffee, and then the emergence of sparrow shit coffee in Brazil and shit coffee in Thailand was a bit like an odd coffee zoo war. When it comes to the new stars in the production process of boutique coffee, we have to mention "honey treatment". At the WSC competition, known as the Coffee World Cup, the Angel Coffee Manor built by Taiwan in Central America and Nicaragua won the runner-up in 2010 with "Honey treated beans", becoming the pride of the Chinese coffee industry.
The so-called honey treatment (Miel Process in Spanish) is said to refer to the process of making raw beans by sun-drying with mucous membranes. After the outer pulp of the coffee bean is removed, there will be a layer of sticky jelly. The traditional method of washing is to wash it off with clean water, but because of the limitation of water resources in some high-altitude areas, there is this way of direct drying.
The honey treatment process is vulnerable to pollution and mildew, so it needs to be closely watched throughout the process, constantly turning, and speeding up drying, so as to avoid bad fermentation flavor. Its advantage is that it can best preserve the original sweet flavor of coffee ripe fruit, making the coffee show elegant black sugar flavor and drupe flavor, while the berry flavor also supports the basic aroma of red wine, which is considered to be a very elegant product. The popularity of honey-treated coffee beans is largely due to their sweet and thick characteristics, which are very suitable for Espresso production in cafes. In recent years, more and more coffee beans are called "Miel Process", and they have also become a favorite material for international coffee contestants.
This new trend of honey-treated beans has also given coffee drinkers a new understanding of the peak of the tip of their tongue. Yeh Yilan, a Taiwan gourmet who says he prefers Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe, once mentioned in "Ultimate Flavor", "are coffee beans Laminita of Costa Rica or Blue Mountain of Jamaica?" Raminita's honey-treated beans are also famous.
Honey treatment as an advanced coffee processing method, there is no lack of practitioners in Yunnan. But not everywhere is suitable for the production of honey beans, coffee producing areas are mostly wet and rainy, this process is very easy to make coffee beans fermented mildew, mildew taste. In addition to honey treatment, Anjing Coffee Manor's runner-up beans are also cultivated with microbial natural nutrients. This tireless and unafraid method of burning gold has made Taiwan's alpine coffee beans a hit.
