Coffee bean care and waking up: comprehensive analysis methods and techniques

Coffee bean resting and bean awakening are two methods that baristas often use during the roasting process. Restoring refers to storing coffee beans for a period of time to improve their flavor and taste, while awakening refers to special treatment of coffee beans before roasting to enhance their aroma and taste. Below we will fully analyze the specific steps and techniques of these two methods.

First, let's learn how to grow coffee beans. First, select fresh, high-quality green coffee beans and make sure they are not contaminated or damp. Then, store these green coffee beans in a well-ventilated, dry and cool place. During storage, regularly check and turn the coffee beans in the container to ensure that they are evenly ventilated.

Next is the step on how to do acidity adjustment (also called "acidification") for better taste and flavor enhancement. First, add an appropriate amount of salt to the soaking water and stir well. Then, soak the coffee beans in this salt water solution for a period of time (usually a few hours to a day). After that, rinse the coffee beans with clean water and dry them. This process can adjust the acidity of the coffee beans and increase its sweetness and richness.

Finally, let's learn how to perform the process of waking up the beans. First, place the coffee beans in a transparent container and place them in direct sunlight a few hours or days before roasting. Sunlight will accelerate the chemical reactions inside the coffee beans, thereby enhancing their aroma and taste. However, be careful not to let the sun shine directly on the container to avoid excessive exposure and loss of flavor.

In summary, conditioning and resting coffee beans before roasting is an effective way to improve their flavor and taste. Proper storage, regular inspection, and rotation can ensure that the green coffee beans are evenly ventilated during storage; while adjusting the acidity through salt water soaking and special treatment with sunlight can enhance the aroma and taste. Hopefully, these methods and tips will help you get better results when roasting coffee beans.
