Optimizing for clarity vs body
How brewing variables can be adjusted to emphasize clarity or body in the cup, depending on desired flavor expression.
Cup profiles
Moisture targets (≈10–12%) and water activity
This topic explains the importance of hitting correct moisture content and water activity targets in coffee drying, why they matter for stability and quality, and how farmers measure and manage them.
Impact of altitude and humidity
This topic explains how altitude and humidity influence honey and pulped natural processing, affecting drying times, fermentation dynamics, and final flavor outcomes.
Hybrid protocols with soaking steps
This topic explains hybrid honey processing protocols that incorporate soaking steps, how they blend aspects of washed and honey methods, and their impacts on flavor, cleanliness, and market differentiation.
Turning schedules by honey color
This topic explains how turning schedules vary by honey process color (white, yellow, red, black), why frequent turning is critical, and how it impacts drying speed, risk, and flavor development.
White, yellow, red, and black honey definitions
This topic explains the color-coded honey process variants—white, yellow, red, and black—how they differ in mucilage retention and drying practices, and how these differences influence flavor outcomes.
