The key to distinguishing the honey treatments is the remaining pectin:

Pectin retention ratio and drying speed and method

Taste difference between honey treatment and washing treatment:

Higher sweetness than washing, higher sugar content, and higher body (under the premise of the same baking degree contrast)

Characteristics of honey treatment methods:

The sugar content is tested first when picking, and only coffee fruits with sugar content of 21~22% are picked;

Honey treatment is different from other processing methods. It should be dried on AFRICAN BED (drying bed).

Honey-treated beans need to be ventilated when exposed to the sun, otherwise the pectin mucosa retained is easy to ferment or moldy, resulting in odor.

If you are directly exposed to the sun on the concrete floor or on the ground with soil, it is easy to scratch and cut the coffee beans when turning, which will lead to easy invasion of bacteria. Direct soil exposure will also make the coffee beans taste like soil.
