Taste of coffee beans treated by sun and washing

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, you can shell and bake.

Silver Skin/Chaff: there is a thinner film inside the parchment that wraps the coffee beans. Because the color is glossy and silvery, people used to call it "silver skin". This layer of silver will fall off during baking. Usually when you grind the coffee, you find some silver crumbs in the coffee powder. These crumbs are the silver skins that fail to peel off the coffee beans during baking. Coffee beans: each fruit contains 2 coffee beans (except for a single pod bean Peaberry. The fruit of this kind of coffee contains only one coffee bean. Normally, 5% of each batch of coffee beans is a single pod. Coffee beans can be roasted after drying and treatment.

The cost of washing method is higher than that of sunbathing method, because water washing method can directly screen out some residual beans, but it needs to be selected by hand, but the content of defective products is higher than that of water washing method. The principle of water washing method is that coffee fruits are just ripe, or overripe, and unripe, all mixed together. If these coffee fruits are not treated separately, the quality of the coffee beans is really unpalatable, because it is mixed with a lot of bad-tasting impurities. So these coffee cherries should be washed and placed in a large trough full of water for preliminary classification. The best coffee has a high density, so it sinks into the water. On the other hand, overripe coffee fruit will surface and it is easy to classify it.
