Miel, in Spanish, means "honey". The honey treatment method (Miel Process) refers to the process of turning coffee into raw beans, which in the end makes coffee unforgettable like sweet honey. Honey treatment, originally known as "Pulp Natural", means to dry the mucous membrane on a daily basis. After the outer skin and flesh of the coffee fruit is removed, there will be a sticky and thick substance on the raw bean, which is different from the washing method to wash it off with clean water, so it is not easy to dry during the day. Therefore, it is necessary to closely control and turn over the whole process to avoid producing bad fermentation flavor.
