Turning schedules by honey color

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.

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.

Drying curves and time to target moisture

Drying curves and time to target moisture

This topic explains drying curves in honey and pulped natural processes, how time to reach target moisture is managed, and why controlled drying is essential for flavor and stability.

Drying endpoints and water activity

Drying endpoints and water activity

This topic explains how farmers determine the correct drying endpoints in natural coffee processing, the role of water activity, and why precision at this stage ensures stability, quality, and shelf life.

Drying rate control and weather risk

Drying rate control and weather risk

This topic explains how controlling the drying rate and managing weather risks are essential in natural (dry) coffee processing to ensure stability, flavor quality, and defect prevention.

Post-wash drying protocols

Post-wash drying protocols

This topic explains the drying protocols after washed processing, covering methods, target moisture levels, quality impacts, and best practices for ensuring stable, defect-free green coffee.
