Introduction to the steps of Qianjie-honey treatment process

Collection & screening

Picked coffee berries are hand-picked to remove poor quality and defective coffee berries.

Peeling / beating

As with other treatments, the picked coffee berries need to be treated as soon as possible and will be peeled / beaten and peeled by the machine within 8 to 12 hours, which removes the peel and pulp of the coffee berries.

Dryness

Unlike the washing treatment, the honey treatment retains the pectin layer for drying. This step will reduce the moisture content of coffee beans to about 11%, and the drying time will be about 18 to 25 days, depending on the weather and climate, the amount of pectin retained, and the experience of the processor.

Warehousing

After drying, the coffee beans will be screened again, and the screened coffee beans will be bagged and sent to the warehouse for storage. Shelling treatment is carried out to remove sheep skin until export transportation.

Honey treatment type

Honey treatment can be divided into the following categories according to the amount of pectin retained: yellow honey treatment: retain 60% pectin layer red honey treatment: retain 75% pectin layer black honey treatment: retain 80% pectin layer

Flavor performance of honey treatment

The flavor performance of honey treatment will make people feel that it is between water washing and sun treatment, the acidity is not as high as water washing, and the sense of fermentation and sweetness is not as obvious as the sun. However, honey-treated coffee is still worth trying, which highlights the alcohol thickness of coffee, the flavor of fruit and so on, and is more balanced. The black honey treatment because it retains more pectin layer will remind people of the sun flavor which is less fermented.

In addition to giving coffee such a high performance, honey treatment greatly speeds up the time of sun drying and reduces the risk of mildew and other defects.
