A brief introduction to the Flavor treatment of Coffee beans in Lemon Manor in Nicaragua

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

EL Limoncillo Lemon Tree Manor is located in Matagalpa Plateau, which is also one of the well-known coffee producing areas in Nicaragua. The manor is located on a steep ascent and is rich in water. Walking into the coffee forest, the terrain gradually rises and steepens, and the forest phase also changes from open forest to coniferous forest. because there are many towering coniferous forests around the planted coffee trees, they provide shade for the growth of coffee trees. This allows coffee trees to be exposed to sunlight while protecting them from being burned by the scorching sun. Java is planted according to the topography at 1000 meters above sea level; with the steep topography of the mountain, Pakamara begins to appear, with a height of more than 1300 meters at the top. Excellent micro-climate and excellent soil and water give birth to high-quality coffee.

In order to ensure the quality of coffee, the manual picking method is used to pick the fully ripe fruits one by one, which usually takes three times to complete. Although the manual picking method has high labor cost and low picking efficiency, it can greatly protect the plant from being hurt in the picking process, and the mature fruit will have better sweetness at the same time.

Lemon Tree Manor also processes coffee in a honey-treated way. After the coffee fruit is actually picked, the coffee with its exocarp removed is put on the African shed to dry. Compared with the traditional way of placing coffee directly on the ground to dry coffee, using African shed to dry coffee can reduce more pollution in the drying process, avoid producing more miscellaneous smell, and finally improve the quality of coffee. Honey-treated coffee beans have more attractive tropical fruit flavors.

The harvest and treatment of Pacamara is slightly less than that of Kaddura and Kaduai. Yellow Pacamara is an occasional product of the interbreeding of traditional Pacamara in the manor, which is very rare, and the Mierisch family should be the first coffee farmer to collect and cultivate the fruits of Yellow Pacamara. At present, they are planted in lemon trees and two estates in San Jose, and the number is still small. At the same time, due to the large shape of Pacamara beans and long oval shape, the process is troublesome whether it is washing or honey treatment after fruit harvest.
