A brief introduction to Qianjie-Ye Jia Xuefei Coffee and the three treatments

Yega Xuefei water washing method: use the method of washing and fermentation to remove the skin, pulp and mucous membrane, and wash the coffee beans until they are smooth and clean. after washing, the coffee beans are still wrapped in the pericarp with a moisture content of 50%, and the moisture content must be reduced to 12%, otherwise they will continue to be mellow, moldy and rotten, and the better treatment is to use sunlight to dry, although it will take 1 ~ 3 weeks, but It has a very good flavor and is very popular.

The washing method has a good mellow taste, a high aroma and a lively sour taste. Washed coffee beans are graded into Gr-1 and Gr-2, and the smaller the Arabic numeral is, the higher the grade is. The style of G1 Yega Chefe is distinct, and the flavor of citrus and flowers in the coffee liquid is an irresistible delicacy.

Yega Xuefei sun treatment: the fruit begins the sun-drying process without treatment after picking, which is the oldest existing method of treatment. the drying process usually lasts about 4 weeks, and the treatment method must be very rigorous. To ensure that the coffee does not lose any flavor, the sun-dried beans have a complete natural mellow flavor, gentle aroma and more gum.

The sun grades are Gr-1, Gr-3, Gr-4 and Gr-5, and the same highest grade of G1sun Yega Chevy is fruity. Opening the freshly roasted G1 Sun Yega Chevy coffee bag can subvert people's original understanding of coffee. Only those who have tasted the highest grade Sun Yega Sheffield will believe that coffee is a kind of fruit.

[sun exposure]

Pour the coffee cherries into a large tank, pick out the inferior beans by buoyancy, remove the good fruits and dry them, and finally beat off the pectin in the peel with a sheller.

Flavor description

Because the whole fruit is fermented together, the fermentation taste is the most obvious during extraction.

[washing method]

In the same sun method, soak water is used to remove the floating shoddy beans, then the peel and pulp are knocked off by machine, the coffee beans are put into the sink, pectin is dissolved by fermentation, and then dried by machine.

Flavor description

Compared with sun-dried beans, the flavor is more refreshing and clean.

Honey treatment is a compromise between sun exposure and water washing.

[honey treatment]

The so-called "half-sun" and "half-water washing" can be regarded as a kind of honey treatment. Honey treatment is a compromise between the two. The peel is removed before the sun, but the pulp and pectin layer are preserved. After drying, the sticky layer and silver skin are removed by machine.

Flavor description

The feeling of pectin is as sticky as honey, which also makes the flavor sweeter of honey treatment.

Knowledge expansion: coffee peach will produce fermentation in the drying process, which is the time when the biochemical chemistry of coffee bean production produces more flavor, which has been improved by the present processing method.
