The differences and processes of primary ways of sun exposure, water washing and honey

Skin / pulp: two coffee seeds are surrounded by the outermost pericarp. Except for sun-or all-natural sun-treated coffee, the outermost peel is disposed of within hours of harvest. As edible fruit, we can also call this layer of peel pulp. In the case of coffee, this peel is mostly used as a by-product (can be used as dried coffee fruit tea). This is why it is called pulp, and the machine that detaches from the pulp is called a separate pulp collector.

Pectin: the pectin of a coffee fruit flowing inside the pericarp. The gelatinous substance surrounds the two seeds. Because it is rich in gum and sugar, it is sometimes called honey. Pectin can be found in most fruits and is not unique to coffee fruits. )

Endocarp: after pectin, there is a layer of cell membrane to protect two coffee beans. Endocarp in the sun, the appearance and texture are similar to Kraft paper, also known as "Kraft paper".

Silver film: the inner pericarp goes further, and there is a thinner film that wraps the seeds. This film is called silver film because it has a slightly silver luster. This silver film will be removed during baking. If you have ever noticed coffee beans falling on the ground, the silver film is usually more or less not separated from the coffee beans during the baking process.

 coffee beans: you will find that basically every coffee fruit contains two coffee beans (round beans are different because they have only one in the coffee fruit and are round beans. Usually only about 5% of all coffee produces round beans. When we receive it, it will be dried and peeled to prepare for baking.
