Honey Processing

Honey processing, also known as Honey Process or Miel Process, produces what's called Honey Coffee. Coffee plantations in Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and other regions have adopted this processing method. The so-called honey processing refers to the production process of drying raw beans with their mucilage intact. After removing the outer pulp from coffee beans, there remains a layer of viscous, gelatinous substance. Traditional washed processing would use clean water to wash it away, but due to water resource limitations in some high-altitude growing areas, this direct drying method was born.

Honey processing is a relatively complex, time-consuming, and difficult processing method. The first step is to select high-quality fruits, then remove the pulp while leaving the endocarp—this endocarp is the core of honey processing. The endocarp contains rich sugars and acids, which slowly penetrate into the coffee beans during the drying process. The second step is drying, which is also the most important condition for producing high-quality coffee beans.

Honey processing allows coffee to retain the cleanliness of washed processing. Although the brightness of the coffee decreases somewhat, it increases sweetness and caramel flavors. According to different degrees of honey processing, honey-processed coffee is divided into yellow honey, red honey, and black honey processing. The benefit of honey processing is that it best preserves the original sweet flavors of ripe coffee fruits, giving the coffee elegant brown sugar flavors and fruity sweetness, while berry flavors support a red wine-like aromatic base, making it considered a very elegant product.

Coffee beans are picked from branches and separated from the fruit, then rinsed and immediately dried. The coffee beans are turned every hour to ensure even drying, including at midnight. "This is very important at night due to high humidity," said Ariev from Transform Coffee (August 5, 2014)—translated from Indonesian original text.

The coffee processing takes 25-26 days! It's no wonder that Aromanis coffee beans are slightly more expensive than regular coffee beans. The Coffee Farmers' Cooperative sells raw Aromanis coffee beans for 130,000-150,000 rupiah per kilogram, while Transform Coffee offers them at a retail price of 80,000 rupiah per 200-gram package.

West Java Province is a first-level administrative region of Indonesia, located in the western part of Java Island. It borders the Java Sea to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south, including offshore islands. The area covers 46,300 square kilometers. Java has a tropical rainforest climate, hot and humid year-round. The plains along the northern coast have the highest temperatures, while mountainous areas are much cooler. High humidity often creates a debilitating climate.

From November to March of the following year is the northwest monsoon period, with more rain and clouds; from April to October is the southeast monsoon period, with more sunny days and less rainfall. Jakarta's average annual rainfall is about 1,760 millimeters (69 inches). Jakarta's average daily high temperature is 30°C (86°F), with a low of 23°C (74°F). In the highland area of Tosari (altitude 1,735 meters [5,692 feet]), the average temperature is 22-8°C (72-47°F). Because volcanic ash periodically fertilizes the land, Java's soil is very fertile.

"Aromanis" is a unique traditional Indonesian sweet snack made from basic ingredients of flour and sugar. Here, Aromanis is used to name this coffee, indicating that these coffee beans have a cotton candy-like texture. However, the coffee beans come from Ciwidey, Garut, West Java. In reality, no special coffee seeds are used, but coffee processed through the natural drying method can present such distinctive flavors. Of course, this flavor is not widely recognized in West Java, Indonesia.
