What is passion fruit honey to treat coffee? how to treat coffee with special honey in Costa Rican mango manor?

Under the condition that the manor owners and raw bean merchants are not satisfied with the current honey treatment, they have extended a more advanced treatment method-passion honey treatment, Rivas people processing plant, already quite specialized in honey treatment, improved the current black honey treatment method. Also retain 80% of the pectin, and then dry, different from the previous black honey treatment, hope to enhance the sweetness and fruit flavor on the coffee beans, so deliberately extend the drying time, but this will test the coordination of many conditions, we must find a suitable drying site (humidity, temperature, wind convection). Put on the drying bed, we must rely on a large number of manual turning and shaving defective beans every day, and extend the whole drying time to one month to complete, in which the risk of excessive fermentation and pollution of coffee beans is very high. So the whole process must be done in a relatively low temperature environment, such honey-treated coffee will bring strong tropical fruit tone, so it is also deliberately named "passion honey treatment". The coffee made by this method on the farm in 2019 was sent to COE and won the fifth place of the year. However, our mango manor-honey treatment is the coffee beans of the processing farm!

Time-consuming and labor-consuming honey treatment

The characteristics of honey-treated coffee mainly depend on the setting of the pulp scraping machine, and the characteristic intensity of honey treatment will be different according to the degree of retaining pectin. But to produce honey and treat coffee, the manor has to take some risks, especially black honey. The more pectin it retains, the higher the risk of overfermentation and pollution. Therefore, the microclimate conditions of the processing plant (sunshine / rainfall probability / air humidity), or according to the processor's technology, or the processor's preference, also known as "Honey Coffee" coffee, will also have varying degrees of honey-treated flavor characteristics. So an excellent honey-treated coffee is expensive!
