Qianjie-introduction to the treatment of coffee honey

Costa Rica's high-quality coffee beans are called "very hard beans" (SHB), and the quality of hard beans (GHB) and slightly hard beans (SH) decline in turn. Very hard beans grow at an altitude of more than 1500 meters. Altitude has always represented the quality of coffee, and high altitude means better quality. At high altitude and low temperature at night, the trees grow slowly and the ripening period of coffee fruit will be lengthened, so that the coffee fruit can absorb more nutrients and the flavor of coffee will be richer.

Honey-treated Honey process refers to using a peeling machine to remove the exocarp and leave the pectin directly outside to dry. The pectin part of the pulp is sticky and slippery, and the pectin is full of sugar. during the drying process, it is not difficult to find that it looks like it is drying with honey. People call this pulp pectin "honey" and this treatment is called honey treatment.

Honey treatment is a kind of treatment between sun exposure and water washing. It keeps the coffee clean by washing, and because it is dried with pulp pectin, it increases the sweetness of coffee and the sweetness of caramel. The more pectin is retained, the more flavor and sweetness of the coffee will be.

Black honey Black Honey (retain 100% pulp)

Drying takes the longest time, at least lasts for 2 weeks, with a covering to avoid too strong sunlight, prevent drying too quickly, and make sugar conversion more fully.

Red honey Red Honey (retain 80% pulp)

Compared with yellow honey, the drying time is longer, and the time of direct sunlight exposure is reduced, and even the sunshade is used, lasting about 12 days.

Yellow honey Yellow Honey (retain 60% pulp)

The drying method needs the most direct heat absorption, receives the most light drying, and lasts for about 8 days to reach the stable value of water content.

White honey White Honey (keep 50% pulp)

The main difference between white honey treatment and yellow honey treatment is the distinction of drying thickness, which determines drying speed and drying uniformity, and then affects the sweetness and fermentation degree of coffee.

Knowledge: according to the retention of pectin, honey treatment is also divided into yellow honey, black honey and so on.
