Emerald coffee

Colombian coffee is one of the few individual coffees sold in the world under its own name. In terms of quality, no other coffee has been so highly rated by coffee drinkers. It has another beautiful name, "Emerald Coffee."

Variety

Columbia beans have the highest selection (SUPERMO), followed by the upper selection (EXCELSO), but I'm afraid it takes more than 18 beans (18x64 inches in diameter) to be included in the selection. Colombian coffee has a balanced flavor and a smooth taste, just like a gentleman in coffee. He has a wide range of producing areas, but the coffee in the Central Mountain area is the best and has a thick texture. The most famous producing areas are medellin, armenia and manizales, which are commonly referred to as "mam". Yes, "Na Linglong Coffee" (narino) is delicious and of good quality. It is said that starbucks, which specializes in specialty coffee, has the exclusive right to buy narino supermo coffee beans, which are common in their chain stores. [1]

The mild climate produces good products.

Colombia's mild climate, humid air, and diverse climate make it a harvest season all year round, with different kinds of coffee ripening at different times. What they grow is Arabica coffee beans of unique quality, and the coffee made from this coffee bean has a rich taste and endless aftertaste, which can be called fine coffee. Nowadays, many people equate "Colombian coffee" with "high quality" and "good taste".

The world coffee is divided into two series, one is the "hard" coffee represented by Brazil, which has a strong flavor, and the other is the "soft" coffee represented by Colombia, which has a light flavor. The difference lies in the altitude of the producing area and the method of planting. Coffee is planted extensively in hilly red soil in Brazil and intensive cultivation in mountain black soil in Colombia.

Colombian coffee beans

It was renamed in 1886 to commemorate Columbus, the discoverer of the American continent. Colombia has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, spring all year round, fresh air and refreshing air. Walking in the streets of Bogota, the capital, I feel relaxed and happy. The weeping willow with green branches and green leaves swayed in the air with the breeze; the tall and straight palm trees, like ancient copper-skinned giants, lined up with large umbrellas to greet visitors from afar; the blooming kapok tree opened its bright red leaves, as if holding a fiery heart to greet friends.

Rich in products

Colombia is rich in products, especially coffee, flowers, gold and emeralds are known as the "four treasures". In 1808, a priest introduced coffee to Colombia for the first time from the French Antilles via Venezuela. Today, the country is the second largest coffee producer after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans. Colombian coffee is often described as silky and smooth. Of all the coffees, it is the most balanced, soft, smooth and ready to drink, and it has won praise that no other coffee can match: known as "green gold".

Colombian coffee is divided into more than 200 grades, which means that the coffee is very regional. The country's coffee-producing areas are located in the Andes, where the climate is mild and the air is humid. Colombia has three Codiera mountains running north and south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, where the whole year is the harvest season, and different kinds of coffee ripen at different times. And fortunately, unlike Brazil, Colombia doesn't have to worry about frost. These beautiful coffee beans can grow as elegantly as rich children with emeralds and neck collars, making every part of their body bold, rich and free to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, diving back and forth in the Andes and growing up calmly. After maturity, Colombian coffee beans have a reputation as flawless and elegant as emerald in the jade world, with "heavy grains, rich nutrition, rich flavor", soft taste, smooth taste and excellent balance. The color is as clear and transparent as emerald jade. When it comes to the mouth, it makes people uncontrollably produce a pleasant feeling of playing with jade, as well as a hint of the smell of flowers and plants on the "natural pasture".

The environment creates a pure flavor.

The pure taste of Colombian coffee comes from Colombia's natural environment with the most favorable conditions for coffee growth. But beyond that, it is inseparable from the hard work of local growers. In Colombia, coffee cultivation has reached 1.07 million hectares, there are about 302000 coffee plantations in the country, and 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production. Although there are many farms in Colombia, they are not large in area. The area of each farm is only about 2 hectares, and more than 80% of the coffee plantations have only about 5000 coffee trees, an average of 3000. Thus it can be seen that agriculture in Colombia belongs to the small-scale farm type. The locals plant tall trees or banana trees around the coffee trees. Build an Arbor for coffee trees at the seedling stage to ensure the cool and humid environment needed for coffee growth. Due to the high humidity, small temperature difference and slow ripening of coffee beans in the coffee forest, it is conducive to the accumulation of caffeine and aromatic substances, so the quality of coffee is the best.

Aroma and fruit acid are the most important features.

The aroma is like toast, and the obvious fruit acid spreads after entering the throat

The later rhyme is accompanied by mellow sweetness and bitterness.

It is highly compatible with other coffees, so it is also used to increase aroma and mellowness in high-quality mixed coffee.

The medium and deep fried Colombian beans will be more sour and more bitter, and the aroma will show carbon fire and caramel aroma.

You can also try different flavors brewed after changing the temperature to find your favorite flavor.

Aroma and taste

The aroma is rich and thick.

The Colombian super aroma is rich and thick, with clear, high-quality acidity, high balance, and sometimes nutty, lingering aftertaste. In terms of appearance and quality, the Columbia Super Class is quite excellent, just like a woman's vaguely charming, charming and just right, memorable.

History of Columbia Premium Coffee

The history of Colombian coffee dates back to 1808. A priest brought coffee to Colombia for the first time from the French Antilles via Venezuela. Since then, coffee trees have taken root in this country.

The country has also become the second largest coffee producer after Brazil, the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans and the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans. Many people equate Colombian coffee with high quality and good taste.

This is due to the special climate of Colombian coffee producing areas and the careful cultivation of coffee growers.

Colombia is the second largest producer of Arabica beans, and its high-quality waterwashed beans have always been the representative of high-quality coffee.

Each caffeine variety is of different origin and has its own strong personality, such as

The masculine Mantenin has a character similar to that of an iron and steel man; the mellow fragrant Blue Mountain Coffee is called the gentle woman's yearning addiction. Columbia Super Coffee, which has always been light-scented, is the most suitable for those who like light sex. Such people do not want to drink coffee as a sitting thing, from sour, sweet, bitter, astringent experience what profound philosophy of life, just want to simply drink a cup of delicious coffee, a cup of hot Colombian coffee, let these people realize that "the best state of life is rich and quiet." Quiet, because of getting rid of the temptation of external fame and gain; rich, because of having the treasure of the inner spiritual world. They believe that the greatest happiness in life is to reap such an incisive interpretation of the realm.

Coffee beans exported from Colombia are purchased by processors from coffee farmers, checked by specific gravity and manually picked out defective beans, and bagged after layers of strict inspection, so the quality of Colombian coffee can be guaranteed, and the grade of exported beans is determined according to the size of the beans.

Supremo is the highest grade of large granulated beans screened from NO17.

Colombian Coffee

Colombian coffee-produced in Colombia, roasted coffee beans emit sweet aromas and have the characteristics of sweet in acid and moderate in bitterness. because of the appropriate concentration, they are often used in high-grade mixed coffee.

Basic introduction of Colombian Coffee

Volcanic soil + family management

Colombia is located in the northwest of the South American continent, bordering Central America and Panama. From the aerial view, it looks like it has been scratched by a cat on the west side, leaving three vertical paw marks from north to south. The country's famous producing areas are scattered in these fertile volcanic soil in the Andes (Cordillera).

It is said that coffee was introduced by missionaries from Venezuela in 1730 and was grown in the southeast of the country. Later, due to civil war and political reasons, it gradually moved to the western mountainous areas. In an ideal environment of high height and volcanic soil, Colombian coffee has been respected by high-end consumers in the United States and Japan since the 1940s. In addition to the inherent conditions, there is another main reason why Colombian coffee is better than Brazil: family management. They do not have heavy machinery to harvest and irrigate, nor do they have spare money to hire workers. All coffee fruits are not picked by hand until they are ripe. They cherish the piece of land they live in, from choosing fertilizer to reclamation will be enough, so there is less land fatigue. Apart from coffee, they will also grow other crops to eat or earn extra money. All these help to maintain the ecological environment.

Since 1927, Colombian farmers have organized trade unions (National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia) to protect each other's rights and interests. They think that "when customers can tell the difference and are willing to pay extra for it, it is boutique coffee." With a donkey dragged, a hat and a beard printed on a coffee bag from Colombia, this fictional character, a well-known fictional character in America, has been a symbol of coffee in the country since 1981. In addition, there is Parque Nacional del Caf é, an amusement park with coffee as its theme. It can be seen that Colombians are proud of producing quality coffee.

An overview of nouns

Colombian coffee has a bitter experience, clear and astringent as life, while bitterness is necessary in life, and the last fragrance at the root of the tongue is a thorough recollection of the past. Suffering is pain, clear and quiet, the last fragrance has become a kind of spiritual victory.

.

Colombians' relentless pursuit of coffee quality can only be described in one word: seriousness. In addition to serious, but also serious. A widely read example of this is that Colombians can replace bourbon coffee trees with fast-growing and high-yielding Arabica coffee trees. But Colombians are not going to do anything until the quality of coffee beans grown from Arabica coffee trees is confirmed, even if they are willing to hand over their coffee production ranking from second in the world to Vietnam, which only grows robastian coffee.

Natural pasture

The suitable climate in Colombia provides a real "natural pasture" for coffee. But people there do not deliberately emphasize their excellent growth conditions, they are more willing to hear people praise the superior taste of their coffee beans. They do not like to be judged that the reputation of Colombian coffee depends on its unique geographical location, and they want people to see their hard work and unremitting pursuit of quality, their good intentions for coffee quality and the great sacrifices behind them, and the gratifying changes in the quality of their coffee beans "growing with each passing day" and "keeping pace with the times". It is very difficult to do this.

Perfect interpretation

Colombians are obviously people who dare to surpass and stand loneliness; they never indulge themselves and become arrogant in the face of luck, but strive for excellence in the quality of their coffee. this is the most perfect interpretation of why they can breed Colombian premium coffee.

The experience of being bitter

Colombian coffee has a bitter experience, it is as astringent as life, but bitterness is necessary in life, and the last fragrance at the root of the tongue is a thorough recollection of the past. Looking back on the hardship in the past, I will feel its sweetness and warmth even more, and I want to let the mood stop in the consciousness that begins to awaken for a long time. Suffering is pain, clear and quiet, the last fragrance has become a kind of spiritual victory.

Its aroma is rich and thick, with clear high-quality acidity, high balance, sometimes nutty, lingering aftertaste, both in terms of appearance and quality, Colombian coffee is the best. Like a charming and unrestrained woman, just right.

Export management

Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee excellent in quality and delicious and famous all over the world. The status of coffee in Colombia is evident in the following example: all vehicles entering the country must be sprayed and sterilized so as not to inadvertently cause disease and damage coffee trees.

In addition, the export management of the coffee trade in Colombia is mainly the responsibility of the National Federation of Coffee owners. It is an unofficial industry organization with several government ministers as its members. Colombian law clearly stipulates that only private businessmen with federation licenses can export coffee in order to maintain the image of Colombian coffee in the world and to ensure stable government revenue in the coffee trade.

Coffee is the pride of Colombians, and the things Colombians like to talk about most, except for their football, which was once one of the best in the world, is the coffee they are proud of. Drinking coffee in Colombia is a pleasure. Not only is it necessary three times a day, but the streets are full of cafes and customers are full of seats from morning till night. There is no instant saying in the cafe. It is now cooked and sold. The young lady pours it with exquisite porcelain bowls, respectfully presents it to the customers, and adds sugar at will.

The aroma is pervasive in the room, the bowl is sweet and delicious, and the slow taste is endless in aftertaste. No wonder the local people are addicted to it.

In addition, Colombia's most famous coffee is called Juan Valdez.

Match just right

The sour, bitter and sweet flavors of Colombian premium coffee match just right. Unique fragrance, after drinking, the aroma fills the whole mouth. Exhale the aroma from the mouth again from the nose, the smell is very full. Perhaps you will find it too domineering, because it will occupy your taste buds, your mind and even your soul as quickly as possible. Why resist it? The life we live in is full of sour, sweet, bitter and astringent, so let the smell of coffee take away everything in the world. What we enjoy is not just a cup of coffee, but also the quiet moment that coffee brings to us.

It is often said that "high-quality South American coffee looks like Central America," meaning that Central American coffee is superior to South America, which mainly produces commercial coffee, in terms of beans, soil, and even treatment. But I think Colombia is an exception: on the cup test table, the highest-scoring boutique coffee is generally floral and fruity. The best Colombian coffee will also have a thick taste. Anyone who has experience in roasting will know that it is a mixed coffee of both shades and shades.

Research and development of disease-resistant soybean seeds

In terms of research, the official agency Cenicafe is responsible for the development of high-yielding and disease-resistant soybean seeds. Rust began to ravage Colombia in 1983, but before that, they had mixed common Caturra and Timor varieties with the robusta gene and developed disease-resistant Variedad Colombia from other countries. After the millennium, varieties such as Tabi (Typica, Bourbon and Timor) and Castillo (disease resistant species of Caturra) were introduced successively. Although robusta, which is often used as instant coffee, is not pure, this year's national COE competition runner-up and second runner-up coffee are mixed with Castillo varieties! It can be seen that disease resistance and taste can coexist.

As for the producing areas, famous ones include Huila, Cauca, Narino and Tolima. Among them, Huila has arranged 16 places in the top 20 places in COE this year. However, climate warming has caused temperatures in the mountains to rise, and highlands that have never been affected by the disease before are also gradually affected. Coffee farmers face not only quality, but also production capacity that affects their livelihoods.
