Introduction to Qianjie-Honey Coffee

Honey treatment is also known as pulp Pulped Natural, and the main difference between honey treatment and sun treatment is whether the pulp is removed before or after the sun. The so-called honey treatment refers to the process of making raw beans with mucous membrane for sun-drying. After the outer pulp of the coffee bean is removed, there will be a layer of sticky jelly. It is not that honey is added in the process of coffee bean processing, nor does it mean that coffee must have the taste of honey, but that the color of coffee beans in the drying process looks like the color of honey.

Because of the different degree of treatment, the degree of "honey" is also different, which can be divided into yellow honey treatment, red honey treatment and black honey treatment.

Yellow honey: about 40% of the pectin is removed, the drying method needs the most direct heat absorption, receives the most light drying, and lasts for about 8 days to reach a stable water content.

Red honey: about 25% of the pectin is removed. compared with yellow honey, it takes longer to dry and requires less direct exposure to sunlight, or even a sunshade, which takes about 12 days.

Black honey: almost no need to deal with pectin, drying time takes longer, at least 2 weeks or so, use cover to avoid direct sunlight, so that the sugar is fully transformed.

Specific treatment process: again, the first step is still to remove shoddy beans. The skin will be removed first, leaving all or part of the pectin layer to be moved to the scaffolding for exposure. The water content of the coffee fruit is reduced to 10% Murray 14%.

Finally, you can use the sheller to remove the silver skin sticking to the coffee beans.

Flavor: honey-treated coffee retains the original sweet flavor of coffee cherry, while it has the purity and acidity of washed coffee, as well as the thick taste, sweet and sour balance and mellow taste of sun-cured coffee.

Knowledge: Ethiopia is in the position of meta-ancestor in the coffee industry, is the birthplace of Arabica beans (Arabica), and is currently the largest Arabica producer in Africa. The Kaffa forest in Ethiopia is more known as the "coffee gene bank".
