2. Honey Processing Method For Arabica Specialty

The name Honey might make you think of the use of honey in the processing. But it’s not like that. This processing method only removes the skin and flesh of the fruit but retains some of the mucus layer to be dried with the seeds. Depending on the purpose of the processor, it is possible to retain all or part of this mucus layer.

The mucilage layer will be retained to ferment along with Arabica coffee beans. During this time, the beans will reabsorb moisture from this mucus layer and become sticky. This sticky feeling resembles honey and that is the reason for the name Honey processing.

The key to the Honey processing method is control. The parameters of Arabica coffee beans are strictly controlled during the drying process from fermentation, sugar content in the mucilage layer, moisture content of the beans, etc.

So, technically, the honey processing method is to remove a part and then leave it to dry.

3. What Is The Taste Of Specialty Arabica Honey Coffee Bean?

Honey processing method: Requires very high requirements to control the parameters of Arabica coffee beans during processing. The controlled fermentation will result in Arabica coffee beans that have a stronger flavor than wet processing but at a moderate balance, not as strong as natural processing.
