Coffee beans are not born with dark brown beans. Coffee fruit is shaped like a red jujube fruit, each fruit has two coffee beans, the coffee fruit, coffee beans after processing, will be what we usually see. Coffee production includes harvesting, processing, peeling, picking beans, roasting, storage, grinding, brewing and other processes, in which the "treatment" step is one of the initial keys to affect the flavor of coffee.

The secret of rich flavor and delicious taste.

The cost of drying beans in the sun is much lower than other treatments, and it saves resources. It is a favorite method in many countries with low rainfall.

During the sun treatment, the whole fruit is exposed to nature with skin and flesh, and the time of drying the beans depends on the weather conditions at that time, ranging from two weeks to a month. Until the water content of the beans is reduced to about 10-12%, the dried and hard fruits will be put away and the coffee beans can be taken out.

The appearance of the sun-dried beans is yellow, with a fragrant and fermented smell from the pulp and pectin concentrated in the seeds by the sun. Sometimes the appearance of beans will be a little missing corners, this is because when shelling, the sheller removes the dry pulp and sheep skin at one time, which will inevitably hurt the beans a little.

Solarization: more game, rich aroma and more miscellaneous flavor, coffee beans in Africa and parts of Southeast Asia are mostly treated in this way.

In the former street sun Yega [berry orchard], for example, the sun treatment gave the bean a strong aroma of fermented berries, tasted very sweet, but more like a cup of fruit wine than coffee.
