There is a new way to treat raw coffee beans called honey processing honey treatment.
We call it peeling and tanning.
Remove the thick peel of the coffee cherry and retain the sticky pulp layer below it.
Next, it does not use fermentation to remove the sticky pulp layer, but let it dry directly with this layer, and then remove the sticky layer and shell.
But the difficulty is in the process of drying.
Since the sticky pulp layer is still on the coffee beans, it must be flipped frequently in the first few days.
To prevent the coffee beans from sticking together, it requires more artificial parts than the normal washing method. Increase in labor cost
< advantages >
The advantage of honey treatment is to enhance the body and sweetness of coffee.
Relatively reduce its acidity, and the aroma will be more detailed.
The quality of raw beans can be comparable to that of washing, but this is the taste when the honey treatment is carried out perfectly.
If it is not handled properly, the flavor will be worse than washing or tanning, the taste will be dirty and there will be a strong smell of soil.
To put it simply, honey treatment is a way to remove the peel of coffee cherry, leave the sticky pulp, then dry it, and then remove the pulp layer and pectin layer.
However, during the drying period, it is necessary to turn continuously with high frequency to avoid mildew caused by sticking between the pulp, and to avoid excessive fermentation.
Therefore, it will require more manpower and time cost than other treatment methods.
If we talk about honey treatment in detail this time, the retention ratio of pulp can be roughly divided into the following categories.
30% 40% flesh [yellow honey]
50% fresh 60% pulp [red honey]
70% 80% flesh [black honey]
Basically, the more pulp you leave, the sweeter it will be, and the thicker body will be.
Generally speaking, honey treatment generally refers to [yellow honey]. The more flesh is left, the more meticulous and careful the processing needs.
Coffee friends may ask Xiaobian honey treatment what kind of taste?
Based on our experience,
Honey treatment is a kind of coffee with obvious coffee pulp (one of 36 flavors).
I don't think it's possible to understand the taste of coffee pulp.
Seriously, it can't be explained if I haven't eaten real coffee pulp.
The pulp of coffee is very sweet, and when dried, it will feel like the rhyme of fermented wine, so that you may be able to understand it.
