They will be spread out on patios or on raised netted tables (for extra airflow). The cup profile of Honeys can sit anywhere between a washed and a natural, depending on how much flesh is left on for how long.ĭrying normally takes place outside with parchment coffee or cherries lying out in the sun.

Honey processed coffees are pulped before drying, removing the skin and exposing the fruit flesh, which becomes golden and sticky (like honey) as it ferments and dries. Less common than the other two methods, but no less delicious. You might expect a complex cup, with pronounced tropical fruits and berries, heavy body and lots of sweetness. Fermentation occurs during the drying process. Typically this will give a clean cup profile, with distinct, refined flavours.ĭuring this method the cherries are cleaned and laid out to dry in their picked form. The fermented beans (still covered in a protective layer known as parchment) are laid out to dry. The water breaks down and the fruit flesh as it ferments. Washed coffees are pulped and left to soak in tanks of water. This, coupled with other factors like the duration and temperature of the fermentation, has a pronounced effect on the flavours in the cup. During processing, coffee is fermented, either with or without water.
This is a crucial stage of production, and has a huge influence over the final cup quality. Processing is essentially what happens to the coffee cherries after picking to separate the green beans from the rest of the fruit. These can result in lower quality coffee as more defective cherries can be harvested. Less quality focused farms may employ strip-picking (hand stripping the branches) or machine picking strategies. Many coffee producers will then have the cherries sorted again, to remove any unwelcome fruit that may have slipped through. It also leads to larger potential yields. Hand picking means the cherries are picked at the optimum stage, and less undesirable coffee goes on to processing. The coffee cherries ripen at different speeds, so the same tree may have fruit that is flowering, green, ripe and overripe, all maturing at the same time. The ripest fruit produces the best tasting cup of coffee. This might seem labour intensive, but it's one of the best ways to ensure quality. The seeds of these cherries are your coffee beans. These will eventually give way to little green buds, which slowly grow into cherries. At the end of the rainy season, small white flowers will begin to appear. These regions also offer the volcanic soil that the coffee plant prefers.Ĭoffee plants take 3-5 years to reach maturity. Central and South America, North East Africa, and South East Asia Pacific all provide these conditions. The coffee plant prefers warm temperatures with periods of high rainfall. It generally grows best at altitudes of between 800 – 2000 metres above sea level. Having evolved in the Ethiopian Highlands, coffee has adapted to thrive in specific conditions. The conditions are only right in a select few places, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, in an area around the equator known as ‘The Bean Belt’. It will only grow where the conditions are right. If you want a little more detail, then read on.Ĭoffea Arabica is a scrupulous plant.
