Conditional requirements for honey treatment

Honey treatment is a complex, time-consuming and difficult processing method.

The first step is to select high-quality fruit, and then peel off the pulp to leave the endocarp, where the endocarp is the core of honey treatment. The endocarp is rich in sugar and sour taste, which will slowly seep into the coffee beans during the drying process.

The second step is drying, which is the most important condition for the production of high-quality coffee beans. The time of drying is very important, if the time is short, the sweet taste is not good; over time, the coffee will be moldy, you need to pay special attention.

The light time of raw coffee beans treated with yellow honey was the longest. Longer light means higher heat, so the coffee can be dried within a week. In general, the drying time of coffee depends on the local climate, temperature and humidity.

The drying time of raw coffee beans treated with red honey is 2-3 weeks, usually due to weather or placed in a dark place. If the weather is clear, the grower should block part of the sun to reduce the sunshine time.

The coffee beans treated with black honey were left in the dark for the longest time and the shorter the light time. The drying time of this coffee is at least 2 weeks. The black honey treatment of raw coffee beans is the most complex and the labor cost is the highest, so the price is the most expensive.
