What is the difference in the taste of exactly the same coffee beans between washing and tanning?

Tanning is a traditional method for the initial processing of coffee beans, and at present, almost all coffee-growing countries such as Ethiopia and Yemen still use solarization to treat raw beans.

Sun treatment will first identify sunken beans in the sink, that is, ripe or half-ripe beans are spread in the drying farm for natural drying. The specific time depends on the local climatic conditions, which usually takes two to four weeks. When the moisture of the coffee bean is reduced to 12%, then use a sheller to grind off the hard pulp and silver skin.

A brief introduction to the treatment of Coffee beans-- Solar method

The sun treatment has a very high requirement on the climate, and if you encounter a rainy day in the sun, it will make the beans moist and moldy. When drying raw beans in the sun, the color is yellow, and the center will be brown after baking, rather than the white of washed beans. Sun beans have relatively better sweetness and mellow thickness, while less sour taste, but the quality is more unstable, there will be greater fluctuations. Due to the low cost of tanning, it is widely used not only in Ethiopia and Yemen, but also in Robbins grown in Africa and Indonesia.

Honey treatment, in fact, the fruit hanging off the surface of the epidermis leaving pectin in the air, and according to the degree of scraping off yellow honey (scraped off 60%) and red honey (30%) and a kind of black honey is actually full sun. The taste between washing and sunbathing

The long time of water washing and fermentation depends on water washing, fermentation, peeling, drying, sour, refreshing, clean, elegant and floral fragrance.

Half-washed, first scrape off the pectin peel with a machine and then wash and ferment

Semi-washing actually scrapes off more pectin than honey treatment, leaving very little pectin in the sun, drying for three days in a dryer until 10%.

After four to six weeks of sun exposure, the workers will scrape off the outer pulp with a machine according to the weather and temperature, and then transport it to addis for storage.
