What is the difference in flavor and taste between Blue Mountain Coffee and Indonesian Mantenin Coffee beans?

Qianjie knows very well that no two people in this world have exactly the same taste, and everyone has their own favorite. And coffee is even more the same, some people like sour, some like bitter, some like balanced, 100,000 people have 100,000 kinds of requirements. And like mellow is nothing more than the pursuit of medium and deep, fragrant and mellow is their favorite, Qianjie recommends two for you! Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean, the famous Blue Mountain is located in Jamaica. The highest point of the Blue Mountain is 2400 meters, which is the highest peak in the Caribbean.

It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round, high humidity and great temperature difference between day and night. The soil here is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, which is very suitable for the growth of coffee and fertile volcanic soil. Regular rainfall and under the hazy clouds on the island keep it away from the hot sun. The combination of all these factors led to the Blue Mountain Coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee is so far the only coffee producing area that uses buckets of raw beans, and sacks are used for other coffee exports. And the coffee grown on the Blue Mountains is not the same as the Blue Mountains. Jamaica certified authentic Blue Mountain Coffee producing areas refer to the four eastern districts: St. Andrew, St. Thomas (St.Thomas), St. Mary (St.Mary) and Portland (Portland), which happens to be the foothills of the Blue Mountains. At an altitude of 1000-1700 meters, the area is only about 6100 hectares. Only when planted in this area and at an altitude of 1000-1700 meters, is the authentic Blue Mountain. Even if the seeds are planted in these four administrative regions but are only 500-1000 meters above sea level, they must be downgraded to Jamaican alpine coffee, and those below 500m above sea level will be the next grade Jamaican coffee, and the other 1.21ha outside this area can not be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Jamaican officials have strict regulations on blue mountain coffee, and no more than 25% of Jamaican coffee qualifies for blue mountain. Clifton Farm began to grow and produce coffee as early as the mid-18th century (around 1750). The coffee planting and processing area falls at an average of 1310.64 meters, with sufficient altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade around the mountain forest, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees and prolong the ripening of coffee cherries.

The harvest of Blue Mountain Coffee is all manual, and workers have to travel among the trees on the slope to pick the ripe coffee cherries one by one. Because the coffee cherries on the same tree ripen quickly and slowly, the color of coffee cherries will change from green to red during ripening. Once red, they must be harvested immediately to avoid fermentation deterioration. Therefore, it is often divided into dozens of times to harvest all the coffee, the whole process is very hard, until the coffee beans are dried, and then carry out strict manual selection and machine classification.

All exported Blue Mountain Coffee must be carefully examined by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority (Coffee Industry Board). Only by passing the Cupping Test (tasting test) of coffee by professional quality control personnel can we enter the world market. Indonesia Gold Mantenin Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Indonesia, which straddles both sides of the equator, has a humid rainforest climate with abundant rainfall and fertile volcanic loam soil that brings rich nutrients to coffee. When it comes to Golden PWN, the acronym is often mixed with the name of Manning Coffee, which is actually a company's acronym Pwani Coffee Company.

This company is a very famous local coffee acquisition company in Indonesia, mainly buying Mantenin Coffee. It has acquired almost all the best producing areas in Indonesia, so most of the beans produced by PWN are unique boutiques. Gold Mantning is the product produced by this company. After the acquisition of raw beans, the beans are selected by hand to select the full and flawless beans. Finally, these beans can be divided into Golden Manning as if they had gone through the draft. Gold Mantenin, with the title of King of Mantenin, is a top authentic and rare variety in Sumatra, highly appraised in Indonesia, a rare and exquisite product, by far the highest quality Mantenin in the world, with a rare output. Specializing in the selection of giant green raw beans with a size of more than 20 mesh (top 8 cm), fresh green beans are as mouth-watering as seeing full fresh fruit All are sold to Japan. High altitude and fertile soil give birth to the sharp, long and huge stone Mantenin, the bean appearance is more majestic than Mantenin, and it is also picked by hand three times by hand to remove defective beans. The taste spectrum is mellow and full-bodied, even golden manning, which is the first choice for heavy-flavored coffee fans.

Coffee Story: the Japanese were the first to drink Sumatran coffee and were the first to start the refined process of Sumatran coffee. "Golden Manning" is the product of Japanese work in the Toba Lake District. Gold manning is harvested by hand, and then the quality of Mantenin is improved by meticulous processing procedures. In addition to the rich and rough aroma of general mantenin coffee, it also has an elegant flavor, making it a rare coffee. Beans that can be called golden manning have been manually screened three times, and make sure that each bean is more than 18 0.8cm in size before it is considered a true golden manning coffee bean.

Treatment method compared with blue mountain water washing treatment: 1. Select floating bean 2, remove peel and pulp 3, ferment 18-36 hours 4, wash 5, dry moisture content 12% 6, peel storage 7, select graded gold Mantning printing wet planing method: 1, remove peel and pulp, retain parchment and pectin 2, pool fermentation 3, wash pectin 4, dry in the sun with parchment for 2-3 days Until the moisture content is 20-24% 5, remove parchment 6, dry the raw beans until the moisture content is 12-13% 7, prepare for export.

Gold Manning and Jamaica Blue Mountain raw beans compare Blue Mountain Coffee with Iron pickup, which is an ancient coffee variety. NO.1 's basic standard of blue mountain raw beans is beans with more than 17 mesh, defect rate less than 3%, moisture content about 13%, etc., which looks like beautiful, full blue-green raw beans.

The coffee variety of Golden Manning is also a tin truck. Raw beans are basically flat beans with more than 19 mesh, dark green and neat. It seems that there will be more sheep's hoof beans, but this is not a flaw, because when the parchment is removed by wet planing, the water content of coffee is still as high as 20-24%, while in the general treatment, the water content of coffee is reduced to 10-12% before shelling. In the "semi-dry" state, parchment will adhere to the surface of raw beans, removing parchment is more difficult than "fully dry", and the shelling process requires more friction.
