Qianjie-Coffee washing process introduction

The technology of washing was invented by the Dutch in the 18th century. Due to the frequent rain and high humidity in some countries, it is impossible to implement the solarization method at all, so although the process is relatively cumbersome, it is the most widely used treatment method at present. The biggest difference from the sun method is the use of fermentation to remove the pectin layer.

Washing method-Coffee bean treatment method Editing coffee beans after harvest must immediately enter the treatment program, otherwise it will begin to ferment, making coffee beans have a bad smell. There are two methods of treatment: "solarization" and "washing", which will cause different flavors. Sun-dried beans have a complete natural mellow flavor, gentle aroma and more gum; washing rules have a good mellow taste, high aroma and lively sour taste.

Mellow taste is an important condition of espresso, which will produce a mellow and smooth feeling as strong as wine. Espresso lovers can increase the weight of sun-dried beans; water-washed beans are as clean as clear wind chimes because of less miscellaneous smell. In addition, washed beans have a good sour taste, which is the main source of sweetness in espresso.

Washing method: water washing treatment is to remove the pericarp, pulp, pectin and then dry; the appearance of coffee beans processed by water washing is more neat, and the impurities and defective beans are less, and the water content of coffee beans is generally about 16%. The advantages are less miscellaneous flavor, clear taste and bright sour taste.

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

Advantages: coffee beans have fewer impurities and more complete appearance, and because the pulp in the coffee fruit has been removed from the very beginning, there is no need to worry about mildew, and the overall quality is more stable.

Disadvantages: the process of washing is complex and tedious, and requires a lot of water, so the cost is relatively higher than the sun method, and it is less used in areas where water resources are scarce.

Knowledge: coffee beans are the fruits of coffee trees, which belong to perennial evergreen shrubs or small trees of Rubiaceae.
