one

Yellow

The light time of raw coffee beans treated with yellow honey was the longest. Longer light means higher heat, so the coffee can be dried within a week. In general, the drying time of coffee depends on the local climate, temperature and humidity.

two

Red

The drying time of raw coffee beans treated with red honey is 2-3 weeks, usually due to weather or placed in a dark place. If the weather is clear, the grower should block part of the sun to reduce the sunshine time.

three

Black

The coffee beans treated with black honey were left in the dark for the longest time and the shorter the light time. The drying time of this coffee is at least 2 weeks. The black honey treatment of raw coffee beans is the most complex and the labor cost is the highest, so the price is the most expensive.

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 Pulped Natural silver (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-skinned coffee beans that fail to peel off the beans when roasted: each fruit contains two coffee beans (except for a single pod Peaberry. The fruit of this kind of coffee contains only one coffee bean

Honey treatment is a kind of treatment which is between the sun treatment and water washing. It keeps the coffee clean, and although the brightness decreases, it increases the sweetness and caramel flavor of the coffee. The appearance of honey-treated beans has a distinct sticky layer. But the honey treatment method is very dependent on the local climate, and the weather must be dry and have sufficient sunshine, otherwise it is not suitable for honey treatment.
