Yunnan coffee beans

Yellow honey

About 40% of the pectin is removed.

The drying method needs the most direct heat absorption, receives the most light drying, and lasts for about 8 days to reach the stable value of water content.

Red honey

About 25% of the pectin is removed.

Compared with yellow honey, the drying time is longer, and the time of direct sunlight exposure is reduced, and even the sunshade is used, lasting about 12 days.

Black honey

Almost no pectin is removed

Drying lasts the longest, lasting about 20-25 days.

Because the honey treatment is carried out in the sun with mucous membrane, it needs to be well ventilated, and the quality is easy to ferment or mildew.

If the sun is exposed to the sun on the cement ground or on the ground with soil, there will be some scars on the beans in the process of turning, or the bad taste will go deep into the raw beans and lead to a defective smell.

Treatment mode

Honey treatment is the way in which the peel and pulp are removed and the coffee beans with pectin are dried.

The key to distinguishing between different honey treatments lies in the choice of the remaining pectin:

Retention of pectin proportion and drying speed and method

Taste

It tastes sweeter than washed Costa Rica, and because the liquid contains more sugar, the alcohol is thicker.

Characteristics

When picking, test the sugar content first, and pick only the coffee fruits with a sugar content of 210.22%.

Honey treatment is different from other processing methods, it should be dried on AFRICAN BED (tanning bed).
