Introduction to the production process of Honey-treated Coffee Bean Solar washing processing Plant

The three are distinguished according to the time of sun exposure and the amount of pectin, and the amount of pectin and endocarp determines the time of sun exposure. "Yellow honey" is with 25% endocarp, 50% "red honey" and 100% "black honey". Therefore, from "yellow honey" to "black honey", the drying time is longer and the management requirements are more stringent.

If you have to pick out the advantages and disadvantages of the three, the best taste is "black honey", because the endocarp is the most abundant and the taste is richer and stronger. So why produce "yellow honey" and "red honey"? Coffee farmers also need to consider from a commercial point of view, that is to say, producing "black honey" requires twice as many other kinds of drying beds and requires more time, manpower and energy; and not all buyers have the financial ability to buy "black honey", so the production of "yellow honey" and "red honey" can be said to be a choice for the coffee production environment. Honey treatment is a complex, time-consuming and difficult processing method. The first step is to select high-quality fruit, and then peel off the pulp to leave the endocarp, where the endocarp is the core of honey treatment. The endocarp is rich in sugar and sour taste, which will slowly seep into the coffee beans during the drying process. The second step is drying, which is the most important condition for the production of high-quality coffee beans. The time of drying is very important, if the time is short, the sweet taste is not good; over time, the coffee will be moldy, you need to pay special attention.

So how long will it take to be just right? If you want to get the sun just right, you need to keep a close watch over the whole process. First of all, manage the sun field, and then turn the coffee beans every few hours so that they can be dried evenly; shake the drying bed from time to time to turn the coffee over the next week or so. In the process of honey treatment, it takes a long time to complete the sun because of the difference between temperature and humidity in the morning and evening. After the sun is finished, it can be shelled and baked. Honey treatment began in Costa Rica and was tried by local coffee farmers to improve the quality of coffee beans, and then slowly spread to other countries. So why do Costa Rican farmers try this method of processing? Since farmers' income mainly depends on the trading of coffee beans, the better quality coffee beans can bring higher profits, so it is not surprising that farmers keep trying new processing methods. For a coffee producer, there are three ways to improve the quality of coffee beans: first, to improve the processing method; second, to change the planted tree species; and third, to improve the soil quality of the farm, that is, to migrate the farm. But just like when we extract coffee, we will first adjust the extraction amount, pressure and temperature before changing the amount of coffee powder and grinding degree, we will first choose to change the conditions that can save time and cost as much as possible. It is time-consuming and laborious for farmers to change tree species and migrate farms, so improving processing methods has become their first choice.
