A brief introduction to the characteristics of Qianjie-Yejia Xuefeimi treatment

Honey treatment (half-sun method)

Half-sun exposure is an improved method of tanning. The main difference between half-sun and solarization is that the exocarp and pulp are removed before the sun, and the skin and pulp are directly exposed to the sun under the pectin layer. The famous honey treatment in Costa Rica can also be regarded as half-sun.

Processing steps

1. Remove floating beans (same sun method)

Pour the coffee beans into a large tank, the underdeveloped inferior beans will surface, and the ripe and full fruits will sink to the bottom of the water. At this time, the floating beans on the surface will be removed, that is, the steps of removing floating beans will be completed.

two。 Remove the peel and pulp (same as washing):

Through the pulp screening machine (pulping machine), the exocarp and pulp of coffee fruit are removed. It leaves pectin, endocarp and silver peel.

3. The sun:

The coffee beans with pectin are directly exposed in the exposure field, so that the water content is reduced to 10-14%.

4. Remove pectin and endocarp

With a special machine, remove pectin and endocarp, that is, complete the treatment steps.

Advantages:

1. As an improved method of solarization, because the flesh is removed from the very beginning, there will be no mildew problem. two。 It does not need to consume a lot of water, and the cost is low.

Disadvantages:

The processing steps can be said to be the most complex and labor-intensive of all ways.

Flavor:

Honey-treated coffee beans have a better flavor, sour taste and sweet taste balance, and the same sun method because of the sun, the aroma of coffee beans will also be magnified, mellow flavor.

Due to the strong sunshine in the Essex plus Chevy producing area, the water content of coffee beans can be reduced to less than 12% after less than 10 days of direct drying. The shading shed is added in the sun-drying bed, and the stacking thickness of honey-treated coffee on the sun-drying bed is increased, which increases the frequency of turning. The sun exposure time of large goods has been extended from 11 days of previous samples to 15-16 days at present. The flavor is more full-bodied and obvious, the taste is sour and sweet, the fruit aroma is round and sour.
