What is the effect of coffee treatment on coffee taste? What are the ways to handle coffee?

Today, let's talk about the treatment of a piece of coffee. There are three processes for normal coffee beans in our hands: growing fruit, collecting and processing, and roasting. Today, let's talk about the process of turning coffee fruits into raw coffee beans. There are three kinds of traditional treatment methods: sun treatment, water washing treatment and honey treatment.

The earliest treatment of raw coffee beans used by human beings is the sun treatment, and it is also the lowest cost of all treatments. The earliest sun treatment is that coffee farmers pick ripe coffee fruits and put them on the ground or on the roof. The roof and other places where you can bask in the sun to dry. After drying, the coffee beans are finally shelled and peeled and the sun is finished.

The water washing treatment method only appeared in the 18th century. The reason for the emergence of the water washing treatment is that there are too many defects in the traditional sun treatment, and when the sun treatment is in the sun, its fermentation degree and fermentation time can not be controlled, and the fermentation depends on the weather. So the method of washing treatment was invented. Put the coffee into the pool for flotation, then put the coffee fruit into the pulp screening machine to remove the skin and pulp, then put it into the fermentation tank to ferment, and finally wash the coffee beans with a large amount of water and put them into a large dryer or drying field to dry, and the washing is done.

The earliest area of honey treatment is Costa Rica. First, the coffee fruit is floated to remove impurities and impurities, then go into the machine to peel and peel and remove part of the pectin, lay the bed directly, and dry it out. After drying, the peeling is finished.

Honey treatment can be said to be a hybrid version of tanning and washing. The purpose of honey treatment is to produce coffee beans with cleaner flavor and better quality with less water than washing. It can be said that it is washed and discounted in the sun. The sweetness of the sun is the highest, the flavor is the most miscellaneous, the acidity of washing is the highest, and the flavor is the clearest.
