What is honey coffee processing, you may ask?
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!It is a pulped‑natural method in which the outer skin is removed (pulping). But processors control how much mucilage — the sticky fruit layer, referred to as honey, but not real honey — is intentionally left on the bean during drying, which can take anywhere between 10 to 30 days.
Furthermore, the beans must be turned often in order to avoid mold and over fermentation. Plus, the beans must be dried to 10–12 percent moisture before they are ready for roasting.
This crafts a cop of Joe profile that lies somewhere between washed and natural coffees—cleaner than naturals but sweeter and fuller‑bodied than washed coffees, according to sources.
Moreover, taste aside, the honey coffee processing requires less water than the washed method, making it more environmentally-friendly in areas where water is in short supply.
