Introduction of advantages and disadvantages of Qianjie-Coffee washing treatment

At present, the most widely used treatment method is water washing, which can bring higher acidity and more stable quality of coffee. This treatment uses fermentation to remove the pectin layer, remove the peel of coffee berries, remove pectin through fermentation, and rinse the pectin softened by fermentation. It takes 1 to 2 days to dry mechanically. Of course, sun treatment can also be used. But it takes a relatively long time, which takes 3 to 16 days, and the coffee beans treated with water sell very well, so they are very popular.

Washing method: selecting → to remove pulp → fermenting → washing → drying → shelling → selection and classification.

Full water washing: after removing the peel and pulp of the coffee fruit, enter the fermentation tank and remove the pectin layer after 1-2 days of fermentation (the time varies according to the temperature and humidity of the site). There are different ways of enzyme and no enzyme.
