Uneven drying

Impact of altitude and humidity

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.

Color standards and visual cues

Color standards and visual cues

This topic explains how color standards and visual cues are used to identify honey process types (white, yellow, red, black), how they develop during drying, and why they matter for consistency and quality assurance.

Bed thickness and airflow

Bed thickness and airflow

This topic explains how bed thickness and airflow are managed in honey and pulped natural coffee processing, why they matter for uniform drying, and their impact on flavor and defect prevention.

Mucilage percentage targets

Mucilage percentage targets

This topic explains how mucilage percentage targets define honey and pulped natural processes, the methods used to control them, and how different levels affect flavor and risk during drying.

Uniformity and screen size considerations

Uniformity and screen size considerations

This topic explains why uniformity and screen size are important in natural (dry) coffee processing, how they are managed, and their influence on cup quality and market grading.

Defect risks: phenolic, ferment, mold

Defect risks: phenolic, ferment, mold

This topic explains the main defect risks in natural (dry) coffee processing—phenolic, ferment, and mold defects—how they arise, and strategies for prevention.
