A brief introduction to the three treatments of Qianjie-coffee

We know that each kind of coffee has a unique regional flavor, and the flavor of coffee beans, in addition to relying on environmental conditions, varieties, and planting techniques, the most immediate way to create a personalized flavor is Process, but what exactly will it bring?

The production of a cup of coffee includes harvesting, processing, peeling, picking beans, roasting, storage, grinding, brewing and other processes, in which the "treatment" step is one of the initial keys to affect the flavor of coffee.

1. Solarization method

Also known as dry treatment, is the oldest raw bean treatment, direct exposure to the coffee fruit, but high-quality sun-dried beans must be constantly stirred to avoid mildew, which requires a higher concentration and labor.

Flavor characteristics: strong fruit flavor (such as blueberries, strawberries, tropical fruits, etc.), thick taste

two。 Washing method

Before the drying process, the pulp of the outer layer of coffee beans is removed by machine, and then fermented with water to remove the sticky pectin. But it gives rise to the environmental protection problem of a large amount of waste water.

Flavor characteristics: high acidity, high complexity, high cleanliness (no negative taste), refreshing taste.

3. Honey treatment

Remove the peel and pulp of coffee and retain part of the pectin layer, while the amount of residual pectin layer determines the color and taste of processed raw beans: White honey, yellow honey, red honey, black honey, but the amount of pectin retention is not an absolute factor. it has something to do with dryness.

Flavor characteristics: high sweetness, thick and full taste.

Knowledge: Brazilian coffee has neither outstanding advantages nor obvious shortcomings. it has a mild taste, low acidity, moderate mellowness, light sweetness and chocolate flavor.
