This is an impressive coffee family!

About 60 years ago, the first generation of landowners, Edgar Aquilera Bonilla,

Come to Orange County / Town (Naranjo) in the western valley

Started the business of growing coffee...

Located in Orange County southwest of Poas Volcano (the highest elevation is about 2700 meters).

Because the environment is cold / suitable for growing oranges

It used to be an area full of orange trees.

And the Lichu Manor, which is located in the western valley at an altitude of 2 meters.

Although it does not seem to be as easy as 1800 meters in the Tarrazu area

But because the western valley is blown by more Pacific currents,

The temperature is often cooler than other mountains at higher elevations.

Therefore, the quality of coffee berries and seeds is very excellent.

Most of the manor has been planted

A local endemic Vera Saatchi variety (Villa Sarchi)

At the same time, there is also a part of Yellow Catuai.

With orange bourbon (Orange Bourbon)...

When harvesting, if you do not deliberately harvest a single variety of micro-batch beans

It is usually the proportion of these three varieties according to the number of plants.

Naturally mixed into a mixed batch of three varieties dominated by Vera Saatchi.

Everyone's taste is not necessarily what they like.

You can consider buying a small amount and trying different baking degrees.

Soy beans in an explosion

Drop the beans at the end of the explosion.

Drop the beans from the end of the first explosion to the second explosion.

Touch the beans under the second explosion.

Put the beans into the second explosion for 10-15 seconds

The second explosion of dense beans

I hope you bakers can find a more favorite flavor.

*

There's something I need to explain to you.

Coffee beans are agricultural products.

Will vary a little from year to year due to climate change.

If you feel a little different, please forgive me!

Consider other coffee beans next time.

*

The greener the appearance of raw beans, the more moisture.

During the baking process, if the temperature drops too low during an explosion, it may not be cooked enough.

It is recommended to reduce moisture before baking (can be insolated for a few days or use a dehumidifier)

The more whitening parts, the less moisture.

*

Some coffee beans are emerald green and have more flavor after baking.

Some are whitening and taste better after baking.

There are many skills in the baking process.

The same degree of baking but different curves of time and temperature

The taste is also slightly different, and everyone's favorite flavor is not necessarily.

You can try different baking degrees to see which one you prefer.
