Sun drying is the oldest and most primitive treatment of coffee beans. Compared with water washing, this drying method of coffee is also known as "natural coffee" or "sun coffee". The harvested coffee fruit is directly exposed to the sun for about two to four weeks. This method is generally used in countries with a clear dry and wet climate.

1. First of all, harvest ripe coffee fruit.

two。 Preliminary selection of impurities and inferior beans

3. Select floating beans: pour the coffee fruit into the sink, the ripe and full fruit will sink to the bottom of the sink, and the immature or incomplete fruit will surface.

4. The sun-drying method removes the ripe coffee fruit that sank at the bottom of the sink and spreads it in the sun-drying field to reduce the moisture content from 70% to about 10-12%. Turn the fruit several times a day to dry evenly, and cover it at night to avoid moisture.

5. Remove the shell: after about two to four weeks of exposure, the outer layer of the coffee seed has been dry and hard, and then use a sheller to remove the shell.

04? baking analysis

This coffee has a small raw bean, yellowish green, poor evenness and low moisture content. The goal of baking is shallow and medium baking, which retains bright acidity on the one hand and shows multi-layered aromas of tropical fruits on the other.

In the first batch of baking, the lower bean temperature is relatively high, the bean temperature is 200 degrees, and the firepower is also relatively high. In the process of baking, it was found that the elevation of the bean was extremely high and the quality of the bean was very hard. in order to avoid uneven baking caused by the uneven size of raw bean particles, the baking technique of lengthening dehydration, gradually lowering fire and climbing steadily was adopted. adjust the firepower when the beans enter the yellowing point, the dehydration is finished and the precursors of an explosion are adjusted to avoid burns on the bean surface, and choose to come out of the oven before the end of an explosion to shorten the time of caramelization reaction. Retain the cleanliness of the flavor and the aroma of flowers and fruits.

Yangjia 600g semi-straight fire

Enter the pot at 200 degrees Celsius, adjust the firepower to 160 degrees after opening the throttle for 30 seconds, keep the throttle unchanged, the temperature return point is 1 "35, keep the firepower, at 4: 50 the bean surface turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, enter the dehydration stage, the firepower is reduced to 120 degrees, and the throttle is adjusted to 4.
