The coffee beans treated by the sun are rich in flavor. The coffee beans treated with water are cleaner and sour.

You may have heard a saying: Japanese beans taste richer than rice, and water-washed beans are more sour than dry ones.

Is this really the case?

The taste of coffee beans can be seen from the way coffee beans are handled.

Today, let's imagine the taste of coffee from the processing process.

First of all, you have to make one thing clear: process = fermentation process.

The processing of coffee beans is the process of picking coffee peaches from the fruit and processing them into raw beans before baking, and this process can also be regarded as the process of fermentation of coffee beans.

Just as wine needs to be well processed to produce delicious wine, so for raw beans, it is similar to the combination of bacteria and coffee beans to produce fermentation, which can lead to the secret flavor of coffee beans.

What kind of secret taste will there be between daily shopping and washing?

To put it simply, the daily method is to use too much to make coffee peaches, with the pulp and peel dry, so in English, Nature does not seem to be easy to handle by this nature method, and he has made some efforts to refine it.

The way to deal with the business day is to put a plastic cloth on the ground and put the coffee beans directly on it.

However, this effect will be due to the spread of the local food and the unstable convection of the coffee peach. if it is not flipped frequently, it may be too high or have the problem of uneven fermentation.

In addition, there are many bad bacteria and stains on the ground, which will also break the taste of coffee beans.

So there are many traditional festivals. Early good beans will not be processed by the daily method, because people have a poor impression and the standard is not high.

However, the Japanese law has made a lot of progress in recent years.

Nowadays, most of the daily processing methods use the African viaduct, which can effectively block the water and soil on the ground and increase the air convection. During the daily life process, there will also be strict control, so as not to let the high temperature cause the problem of excessive fermentation.

The whole process of daily processing usually takes more than 20 days, and the peach flesh of bacteria and coffee is gradually fermented, so the taste is sweeter than sweet, and it also has a rich flavor of sweet fruit.

In the washing method, the peel and pulp of the harvested coffee peach are removed, and the rest of the peach and the mucous membrane are drained into the sink and fermented with water. The whole fermentation time is only about 24-30 hours.

The washing method is similar to the daily washing method to control the quality of the control. in the process of washing, the defective beans floating on the water surface can be easily removed, and the smell is not easy to appear on the taste.

Also because the fermentation time is short and the beans are glowed all over the body to wash and dry in the sink, the water washing method will show the smell of defects in drying.

The actual washing method can also be divided into machine drying, or later days dry, different areas will also display special washing methods, such as the Kenyan 72-hour washing method, we will have a good introduction later!

But generally speaking, the beans washed with water will have sweet and bright sour fruit, and the taste will be very dry, and sometimes the washing method can highlight the special taste of the coffee beans.

So did you catch the important point in dealing with the reason for the smell of coffee beans?

The answer is: time and degree of fermentation

Diurnal method, because beans will grow together with the peel and pulp, resulting in a high degree of fermentation.

It takes a long time, and you can usually display a lot of sweet fruit flavors.

In the washing method, only a thin mucous membrane is left, and the whole processing time is very short.

Even the 72-hour washing method is much different from the daily washing method for a month.

Therefore, we can imagine that when the beans are generally washed and processed, the taste is dry.
