Exclusive production system-Profile Processing

If you have read the previous article on the definition of fine coffee SCAA, you will know that the link of fine coffee is long and complex, and you must rely on the persistence of many people to make a cup of fine coffee.

But in fact, the interaction between the various links is not smooth, and it may even be disjointed in the past. For example, raw bean merchants only buy coffee beans after they have selected the raw beans, and they do not care about how the coffee farmers grow them or the treatment technology of the processing plant. Anyway, buy as soon as the final cup is tested, no matter how much.

This is actually quite reasonable. Imagine: if you were a big watermelon trader, would you care how melon farmers grow watermelons? You are too lenient.

But this logic may be true for commodities, delivered directly to the market economy, and always find good goods. However, as coffee gradually moved towards the high-price boutique market, 90 + took the lead in establishing its own raw bean production system-Profile Processing.

Profile Processing simply means to extend the scope of management upstream, from the varieties, producing areas, climate, planting methods, harvesting and treatment methods of coffee farmers. If you control all of them, you can produce super-high-quality coffee beans according to your own preferences.

The concept is simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement. After all, the cultivation of agricultural products is a black box. In fact, there are thousands of variables that are difficult to sum up.

At the beginning, the 90 + company only bought the best coffee cherries from Ethiopian coffee farmers, and started with the best ready-made beans, so there were 90 + representative beans: Aricha and Beloya, which became famous in the first world war, but the experimental results were amazing, and the whole boutique coffee circle was shocked by the rich fruit flavor and high texture.

Then it is to select potential coffee farmers, according to the currently produced coffee beans to set the ideal flavor back to bean farmers and processing plants, carry out process reengineering, and gradually revise the sample to the original flavor of 90 + by scientific management. but of course, it is necessary to carefully select the one that best meets the setting before it can be produced. (it's a scientific experiment at all)

It is not known how many crazy experiments and failed samples are involved, but a very small number of them can indeed withstand the high score of 90 +, which can be said to be the best of the boutiques.

Therefore, the reason why the Profile Processing system is so powerful is that it has the technology to control the flavor performance in hand, so it can plan and set the highest standards and surpass the general raw bean merchants' chance to select and buy raw beans. The quality exceeding the standard is not luck, but the average level, which is also the core value that 90 + companies have always adhered to.

It is conceivable that the longer the time is, after 90 + coffee beans accumulate more experimental data, there may be no limit to the flavor of beans.

Third, create your own coffee farm: Ninety Plus Gesha Estate

Although it is not the first time that raw bean merchants have subsidized a manor, it is probably unprecedented for 90 + to start planting coffee trees on a whole piece of farmland in Panama.

And Ninety Plus Gesha Estate (hereinafter referred to as NPGE Manor) is full of valuable Gesha varieties (Geisha is OK, there is no real difference)

This decision is about to return to the founder and CEO of 90 +: Joseph Brodsky (the name makes people think of Russian ancestry, but the seniors guess randomly, don't believe it)

Since 2004, when Geisha coffee beans from Jade Manor of Panama won the Panama Cup Test Competition, it has swept all the major competitions, making coffee people all over the world fall madly in love with Geisha, and Joseph Brodsky is one of the people who have been poisoned.

And this poisoned Joseph also went to Ethiopia to look for a better ancient coffee variety (or holy grail) than Geisha. Although he was not lucky enough to find it, he found Aricha and Beloya in disguise and gave a shock bomb to the boutique coffee circle.

But if you can't find a better variety of coffee, let's make the best variety as good as it can be. So in 2009, 90 + founded NPGE Manor in Panama, all growing the most powerful Geisha coffee.

In addition, Ninety plus Sensory Room (NP sensory Laboratory) and Solar Kiln Lab (SK treatment) are set up in NPGE Manor, as well as red treatment (Red), ruby treatment (Ruby) and other new studies which are different from the general raw bean treatment.

You can imagine that NPGE is the largest experimental farm of 90 +. It is fun to experiment with the best varieties and implement the Profile Processing system to the end.

After several years of planting results, NPGE launched five Geisha, including Lycello Lisilo, Perci Percy, Juliette Juliet, Silvia Sylvia and Lotus Lotus.

Among them, Perci has upgraded versions of Perci Red (red treatment) and Perci Ruby (ruby), which change the sweetness of Perci differently, while Silvia Sylvia and Lotus lotus are the latest new products of SK treatment.

It can be seen that 90 + created its own NPGE manor, mastered the ferocious Geisha varieties of coffee in its hands, and had a lot of fun and wild experiments in its own manor, continuously strengthening its unique competitiveness, we can see how terrible the ambition and courage of 90 + are.

Fourth, flavor symbols instead of treatment.

90 + has so many innovations that are different from ordinary raw bean merchants, of course, in the description of the flavor of coffee beans, it is also different from others.

This also makes many people who have just come into contact with 90 + feel a headache, just like seeing a bunch of symbols like a book of heaven.

However, the reason why there is a unique flavor symbol is also to make consumers better understand the flavor possibility and strict selection value of 90 + god beans, which can also be regarded as a responsible production resume, although it is a bit more unique, but after reading it, you will be able to understand the value of hard work behind it in the world of invincible boutiques.

Ninety Plus

Ninety plus is an internationally renowned coffee bean production and sales company, and is famous for providing rare and unique raw coffee beans. In addition to working directly with coffee farmers, there is a 134-hectare coffee farm in Panama. Since its inception, 2007 has reached more than 40 countries around the world.

Joseph Brodsky officially founded Ninety plus in 2007, and since the next year, we can see Ninety plus winning awards in large and small coffee competitions around the world. Among the six finalists in the 2013 WBC World Barista Competition, Ninety plus raw beans were used by contestants from Italy, South Korea and Canada. Exquisite cultivation and processing of raw beans, excellent coffee varieties and unique grading system make Ninety plus a top and unique representative of raw beans in the market. Shoucheng Coffee adheres to the concept of providing high-quality raw beans. Ninety plus, the exclusive agent in 2014, is a wonderful raw bean that you must not miss.

In 2004, with the rise of geisha in Panama, the unique aroma set off an upsurge in the search for excellent varieties all over the world. Joseph Brodsky, like other raw bean producers, researchers and enthusiasts, went deep into the remote mountains of Ethiopia and went to the wild primeval forest where coffee originated in search of Geisha tree species. Although he didn't get what he wanted in the end, he believes that in so many native forests, there are still many excellent and unknown native species. It may not be discovered because the remoteness has not been discovered, or because it has not been carefully treated and cultivated. So the next year Joseph Brodsky immediately invested a lot of effort in Ethiopia, he looked for valuable coffee beans and worked with local estates to improve and refine the raw bean treatment process, and to develop a Profile Processing raw bean system so that each bean can play its complete flavor. In 2009, Joseph Brodsky began to grow native Ethiopian geisha in Panama. He bought land, created a "Ninety Plus Geisha Estate" estate, and built Ninety plus Sensory Room at the same time. In recent years, he has developed SolkilnTM special treatment, and Ninety Plus, which has been innovative in every aspect of raw bean processing, has taken the lead in the coffee boutique market.

Profile Processing system

Develop a Profile Processing system for each bean tailored, planting, harvesting, processing and other processes, and through a cup test and correction, exactly let each bean, give play to its unique fruit flavor.

SolkilnTM special treatment method

In 2013, the original SolkilnTM special treatment method, the use of wood drying chamber, drying coffee beans. After chopping the raft, the drying chamber of wood usually reduces the water content of wood beans to 10-12% through the control and regulation of temperature, humidity and air circulation. Joseph Brodsky uses the same concept as this to create this new SolkilnTm (SK) special treatment method, and officially launched Lotus Solkiln H2 and Silvia Solkiln N2 two top raw bean products in 2013.

90+SolkilnTM

The first is the flavor symbol on the back of each bean.

W2 = Washed Flavor

N2 = Sun-treated flavor

H2 = honey treated flavor

W stands for washed, N stands for natural, H stands for honey.

But 90+ uses W, N, H not to refer to treatment, but to describe flavor

W2 is a bean that is close to the washed flavor, but it does not necessarily mean that it is washed. As for the 2, perhaps to make it easy for consumers to distinguish between the added, no special significance.

The processing method of each bean, in fact, 90+ is not clearly marked, which is probably related to his trade secrets.

In addition, mixed treatment methods are also more popular nowadays, half-day sun semi-washing, water washing mixed scaffolding, honey treatment are also several kinds, I am afraid that simply saying that washing, sun treatment can not accurately reflect the true production history of beans, so simply do not label.

Among them, only SK processing method (Solar Kiln) will be specially marked, also because SK is a new processing method of 90+ originality, and the pertinence is relatively clear, so it is specially marked.

A flavor description was added to simply inform consumers of the basic outline of the beans.

As for the various wonderful flavors presented after roasting, it is left to the roasters and cafes to communicate with consumers after roasting.

Maker Series

Ninety Plus allows international coffee industry experts, roasters and players to customize their own raw beans in Ninety Plus, officially launching the Maker series in 2014. Different from the way of centralized processing in the manor and processing plant, it allows individuals to choose the ripeness of coffee cherries and process small batches of coffee fruits with their own ideas.

There are also some supplementary

The following two are new.

--

SolkilnTM special treatment

2013 Original SolkilnTM special treatment method, using wood drying room, drying coffee beans. After the raft is cut, the wood is usually dried in a drying chamber to reduce the moisture content of the wood to 10-12% through temperature, humidity and air circulation control and regulation. Joseph Brodsky used the same concept to create this new SolkilnTm (SK) special treatment method, and officially launched Lotus Solkiln H2 and Silvia Solkiln N2 in 2013.

SK = SolkilnTM

red treatment

A special treatment performed by the 90+ team through its own patented drying technology, the shelled fruit will appear in different degrees of red, from light red to ruby red, this treatment will make the coffee aroma again enhanced, fruit flavor and sweetness will be more prominent.

ruby treatment

It is the ultimate performance of red processing method, which brings the fruit aroma and sweet feeling of coffee fruit into full play. After processing, if you are not careful, you will ferment excessively, so you need a lot of manual care and selection of fruits. You must select fruits that reach the ruby standard to be called ruby coffee beans. Therefore, after repeated selection and elimination, the number is extremely rare.

Ninety plus Excellent coffee varieties

Joseph Brodsky began his coffee career in 2004 by searching for the best geisha trees. He selected the native species (Heirlooms) with excellent flavor in Ethiopia and planted Ethiopian native species (Heirlooms Geisha) in Panama's NPGE (Ninety Plus Geisha Estate).

Ninety plus Unique flavor rating, password rating

Ninety Plus coffee is classified according to the "fruit flavor intensity" classification, which is different from the traditional washed, honey and natural treatments. It is also classified into three categories W2, H2 and N2, but different treatments create different fruit flavor levels, so you may drink sun-treated or washed coffee beans in the honey flavor "H2" classification.

W2 = washed flavor

H2 = honey treated flavor

N2 = Sun-treated flavor

■ Package: 5KG

■ Flavor Description: Melon, kiwi fruit, fig honey, tropical fruit, complex

Introduction:

Ninety PLus 'Solkiln treatment room uses temperature and humidity regulation, in fact, it simulates the perennial aquatic plant "lotus". Lotus and human beings, like other warm-blooded animals, have the ability to adjust their flowering temperature independently of the environment. SK laboratory technology also controls the temperature and humidity of coffee beans to avoid the drying process of coffee from being affected by Panama's humid climate. Therefore, although the whole coffee fruit is dried, it still has the characteristics of washing. Hence the name "Lotus." Another allusion comes from the British band Radiohead's song "Lotus," which talks about self-obliteration, transcendence, lost in the magic of music and senses, and the MV also expresses a purely unpredictable feeling of music.

Because 90+ has become an indispensable topic in the boutique coffee circle in recent years, you should at least know what 90+ is in red. The focus of the topic is nothing more than the following two points: >90+ What is the new concept? >90+ What's the big new bean? From this, we can see that 90+ is unique in concept and coffee bean output. Let's quickly understand the power of 90+.

First, coffee cup test scores are all above 90 points to produce: this is also the origin of 90+ company name, each bean is a thousand choices, after SCAA cup test score of more than 90 points super super high score beans (now important things are popular to say three times) that SCAA cup test 90 points and what value? Let's look at SCAA's definition: Coffee beans below 80 points are not classified as specialty coffee. 80-85 coffee beans description: very good grade: specialty general boutique coffee grade, has been quite good to drink. 85-90 coffee beans Description: excellent grade: excellent grade quite a strong boutique coffee beans, a lot of COE competition (Cup of Excellence or said Cup of Excellence) the top five coffee beans mostly fall in this grade. 90-100 coffee beans 90+ The company's products fall into this category. Each bean has exceeded 90 points and even scored 97 points in its glorious history

Compared with many COE champion farms, the score is higher, and the high score is definitely not easy to achieve. Whether it is the variety of raw beans, origin, climate, planting method, raw bean processing method, etc., all have the unique persistence of 90+ companies, thus extending the independent production system of 90+-Profile Processing

II.

V. LEVEL hierarchical representation

The classification of coffee beans in general has different expressions according to the regulations of various countries, such as Kenya AA, AB, SHB, 18, G2, etc., which are often heard.

The purpose of grading is, of course, to distinguish between high-quality products and sub-products, but many of the grading basis is not necessarily positively related to flavor, so even if the grade is high, it may not be delicious, but at least it is still a reference data. For beginners, they should think more about grading, but they should not be superstitious about the level.

90+ In addition to its own flavor symbols, each bean also has its own grading method. Of course, it is also completely different from the grading of other countries. It is divided into the following seven grades.

L4、L7、L12、L21、L39、L95、L195

L is the meaning of Level, classification is based on the quantity of production, the fineness of processing, the difficulty and the severity of screening.

The higher the number, the less the yield, the more refined the processing, the more complex it is, and the more stringent the screening, but 90+ does not publish the detailed grading content, so it is actually similar to the flavor symbol, just a reference data, but we still have to roughly understand the connotation, which can be simply divided into four grades.

Block L4: This classification is no longer visible at 90+. In the past, it referred to mixed harvest batches. When the flavor of a single producing area is not rich enough or the yield is too small, it is produced by mixing several fine producing areas. It is a bit like the previous Aricha and Beloya. However, after 90+ years, the experimental control technology for coffee production has gradually matured. This classification method is no longer used.

L7, L12: Most Isobee beans are in this grade, the flavor is already very good, whether it is aroma or texture are impeccable. This level of 90+ can be said to be an entry-level but CP value is quite good

For example: Tchembe and Kemgin are L7, Nekisse and Hachira are L12.

Ninety Plus classification

L21, L39 sections: This is almost the world of Geisha coffee in NPGE Manor. It can be imagined that for 90+, Geisha variety itself is a high-grade representation, so the lowest grade is also L21. Of course, we can also extend our thinking. Geisha's care may be more difficult and the rigor of handling is higher than Isobee beans.

In addition, specially treated Isobee beans can also be upgraded to this zone, becoming comparable to Geisha.

For example: Lycello is L21, Juliette, Perci is L39, all three are Geisha in NPGE Manor;Nekisse Red (red-treated Isobia Nekisse) is upgraded to L39.

L95, L195 sections: These two levels must go through 90+ special processing methods to reach the sky, such as Red (red processing), Ruby (ruby processing), SK (Solkiln processing), can be said to be 90+ exclusive processing endorsement. But to get to the highest level of L195 or Geisha.

For example: Lotus (Sk treatment), Sillvia (Sk treatment), Semeon Abay (this is the master series), Nekisse Ruby (ruby treated Ethiopian beans) are all L95, and Perci Ruby is currently the only L195 (Ruby treatment +Geisha variety)

In fact, in a word: good initial score on the high lineage, poor initial score low lineage, but after 90+ skillful hand processing can also upgrade the class change devil.

But the higher the grade, the more expensive it is, but does it mean it must be delicious? Not necessarily.

After all, no matter how good the raw beans themselves are, no matter how rare they are, it is impossible to chew them raw. It is still necessary to cooperate with the interpretation of the beans by the roaster to create good coffee. Therefore, as a reference, I believe that my tongue is the king.

VI. New concept of raw beans

In fact, the concept of green bean production is a historical product extended according to the different environments of various regions. It is not particularly locked in the treatment method here, even the bean seed, planting method, preservation method, etc. can be discussed. In short, it is the main core concept affecting the formation of bean flavor.

For example, take the treatment method as an example: in the early days of Africa, the sun was mainly used, because there was sufficient sunshine and less water, so the sun treatment method was naturally formed.

For example, take the quality as an example: Golden Manning is characterized by three hand-picked defects and a large and uniform number of eyes.

For example, take the variety as an example: Geisha itself presents a strong floral fragrance and ultra-fine texture and identification.

The concept of these raw beans is not a single factor, but it will be specially put forward or even named because of the main influencing reasons. after all, any good bean should have particularity, and fine care is the basic condition. but consumers still need more reasons why the flavor is special.

90 + in the process of dealing with raw beans, also added a lot of new concepts, so that the performance of coffee beans can accept the influence of more powerful variables, forming its own particularity, which is also difficult for the general raw bean merchants to intervene.

At present, it is mainly upgraded in the treatment method, which can be divided into three types: Red, Ruby and SK.

In 14 years, the Maker Master Series has been launched to deal with raw beans according to the coffee master's interpretation and requirements of coffee flavor, and the results are also very excellent.

The following is the simple information put forward by 90 +, of course, the secret may not be fully understood, but it is enough to imagine that 90 + has put a lot of effort into its pursuit of the characteristics of raw beans.

Red red treatment

In a special treatment carried out by the 90+ team through its own patented drying technology, the shelled fruit will show varying degrees of red, from light red to ruby red, which will increase the aroma of the coffee again, and the fruit flavor and sweetness will be more significant.

Ruby ruby treatment

It is the most extreme performance of red treatment, giving full play to the aroma and sweetness of coffee fruit. After the treatment, it will be overfermented accidentally, so it needs a lot of manual care and screening of the fruit, and the fruit that meets the ruby standard must be selected before it can be called ruby coffee bean, so after repeated screening and elimination, the number is extremely rare.
