Starbucks Hawaiian coffee beans

There is a saying that Blue Mountain is the king of coffee and KONA is after coffee. But relative to Blue Mountain, KONA is obviously not well-known in China, and there is no unified translation of the name, and there have been fraud scandals in the past, and it is not easy to buy in China. With a paragraph introduction: "due to the island topography and volcanic soil, Hawaiian coffee has a very special taste, not too strong, not too sour and mellow, with pleasant wine aromas and acidity." However, due to low production and high production costs, with the increasing demand for boutique coffee in recent years, the price of Kona on the market is catching up with the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy good Kona beans. " I will give it a try if I have a chance to go to Hawaii. With aromas of caramel and hazelnut, this Starbucks has a simple joy.

Brief introduction of Hawaiian Coffee beans

Located in the southernmost area of the Big Island, Kau is the largest and most remote coffee farm in Hawaii. Hawaiian Cafe Coffee, produced on a small coffee farm on the slope of the southwest Mauna Loa volcano (Mauna Loa), is 1400 to 1600 meters above sea level. The local small family farm adheres to the traditional way of growing coffee in Hawaii. Insisting on hand-picking and family farm-style small batch processing makes the production of this coffee difficult to predict.

Hawaiian kau coffee is carefully cultivated, processed and tanned, and this coffee combines complete washing and honey treatment (that is, removing the peel and pulp and retaining pectin) to give this coffee its unique sweetness and nutty flavor.

What is honey treatment?

Honey treatment is generally common in Central and South America, especially in Costa Rica, which is complicated and time-consuming. The general procedure is as follows:

1: manually pick and pick fertile ripe fruits

2: use the buoyancy of washing method to screen and eliminate bad beans.

3: peel off the peel with a special pulp planer according to the weather conditions and under the requirement of keeping as much pulp as possible.

4: expose the coffee beans to remove part of the pulp on the off-ground grid, and turn the wet coffee every hour to avoid fermentation

5: when the water content of coffee beans is reduced to 11.12%, the dried and hardened pulp and endocarp will be removed by machine.

6: polishing to remove the silver skin

Kau and Kona are adjacent to each other and have been producing coffee for 20 years. Although it is still very young as a coffee growing area, it is recognized as one of the places where boutique coffee is produced. This coffee won the 2011 American Fine Coffee Association's "Coffee of the year Award". Between 2007 and 2012, Coffee Coffee has won the title of "Coffee of the year" eight times.
