Water-washed coffee sun-dried coffee honey treatment-the difference between sun-washed and washed coffee beans

After the fresh coffee fruit is harvested, it should be dealt with immediately. Refining is to remove the skin and pulp of the coffee fruit, and then remove the seed from the shell, which is what we often call raw coffee beans. The refined coffee beans are still raw beans, and then they are roasted to produce the various flavors of coffee beans that we usually drink.

1. Coffee refining method

Coffee refining methods are mainly divided into three categories: drying method, water washing method and semi-washing method. Generally speaking, the coffee fruit of 5000KG can be obtained from 1000kg coffee raw beans.

1.1 drying method

Drying is a traditional processing method of coffee beans, the fruits need to be dried in the natural sun after harvest, and some mechanical drying is carried out at the same time. The process is as follows: harvest → sun field (sunlight exposure) → sheller (remove pulp, etc.) → grading (electronic bean selector or hand selection, screen, etc.) → export

Natural sunlight can retain the fruity aroma of coffee fruit. When you taste this kind of coffee, you will find that the coffee has a fruity aroma and a brighter taste. After drying, people will use special machines to remove the shell of the surface layer. This process is called drying and shelling (Dry Milling).

We know that the treatment of raw coffee beans can be roughly divided into three types. The distinction between each method is based on the fact that several layers of matter are removed from the fruit before the coffee is dried. The following is a list of the three major processing methods:

11. Natural sun treatment: retain all substances 22. Honey treatment: remove the peel and pulp and retain some or all of the mucous membrane (honey)

(3) washing method: the peel, pulp and mucous membrane were removed by washing and fermentation. This method is also known as the complete washing method (Fully Washed). Shampoo is the most common way for most coffee-producing countries in the world to handle Arabica coffee beans. Some areas also use advanced high-pressure washing machines to clean the peel, pulp and mucous membrane of coffee beans, so fermentation is no longer needed. This method of using a high-pressure washing machine to treat coffee beans is called "natural washing (Pulped Natural)".
