Qianjie-Coffee processing method introduction

The coffee processing methods of the world's top gourmet coffee are realized in many different ways. These processing techniques can be divided into three categories: wet processing (washing), dry processing (natural, sun-dried), and honey processing. Farmers choose the processing method that best suits their climate and capacity-whether it is a long dry season or dry processing, or the need for adequate water supply due to high tropical environments, and how much labour is available to them.

Washing / wet treatment

The washed process includes soaking the coffee fruit and allowing it to ferment to separate the cherry from the beans-or it can be removed by a mechanical peeler. Once the green coffee has been removed, wash it and leave it outside to dry on a terrace or viaduct. The taste of the resulting coffee is "purer" than other methods, with bright acidity.

Dry / natural / sun-dried

Naturally processed coffee is dried while the coffee is still dry around the beans, without any removal, so there is time to give the coffee itself the natural flavor of the coffee fruit.

Dry-processed coffee often does not have a wide range of flavor, because because of the coffee fruit, the flavor is always pushed to fruity and sweet. Dry processing is particularly prominent for coffee from Brazil, Ethiopia and Yemen.

Honey technology

The natural or "semi-dry" pulping process involves removing different parts of the coffee fruit-it is somewhere between wet processing and dry processing. Recently, these different levels have been called "black honey", "red honey" and "yellow honey" respectively-more coffee fruits left on the outside lead to more caramel and darker colors. In contrast, fewer coffee cherries mean less sweetness and lighter colors.

Knowledge: the quality of coffee can be changed according to altitude, latitude and soil chemical composition. Growing coffee outside the right range of factors will greatly change the final quality of coffee.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
