What is coffee bean treated with honey? How did the coffee beans come from the honey of the three traditional treatments?

Before we introduced the sun treatment, washing treatment, today we will talk about the last of the three traditional treatments-honey treatment. Honey treatment officially appeared in Central and South America, such as Costa Rica and El Salvador, and its predecessor originated from peeled solarization (also known as half-sun) in Brazil, where it was widely used because of its topography and water resources (dry weather). However, since Brazilian farms are mostly commercial plantations, coffee is harvested mechanically and then laid in the square to dry. Its quality is inferior to that of African high-bed sun-dried beans at the same time.

In order to solve this problem, Brazil can shorten the drying days by removing the peel and Pulped Natural, on the one hand, it can solve the improper fermentation smell caused by Brazilian sun-dried beans in the square, and greatly improve the flavor of coffee beans. The success of half-sun treatment in Brazil has attracted the attention of a large number of Central and South American countries treated with water in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has introduced the Brazilian method of treatment, and because the climate is not as dry as in Brazil (Costa Rica has more rainfall and shorter sunshine time), therefore, in view of the amount of pectin retained, the length of drying time has been improved into honey treatment. As a result, it is also divided into more detailed black honey treatment, red honey treatment, yellow honey treatment and white honey treatment. This is the story of honey treatment.

Here are two pictures to distinguish between black honey treatment, red honey treatment and yellow honey treatment.
