There are many choices in the world of boutique coffee. There are more than 50 varieties of individual coffee in Qianjie Coffee Shop alone, and coffee fans are fascinated by the colorful flavor and taste in the world of individual coffee. Then Qianjie this article will popularize the popular science of individual coffee beans.

What are individual coffee beans?

First of all, what are individual coffee beans? Single product coffee refers to the coffee made by coffee beans from a single origin, and can be traced back to the place of origin of coffee, not only the producing country of coffee, but even the land where coffee is produced, through knowing the owner of the coffee farm, going deep into the origin of coffee, understanding the story of the origin of coffee from the source, and purchasing raw beans.

For example, coffee fans who often come to the Qianjie coffee shop all know that the hand-made individual coffee in Qianjie can be traced back to the manor in the producing area, and these basic messages are also marked on every package of coffee beans in Qianjie. This is because there are many bad merchants who are inferior, and the producing area is indeed the same producing area, but because the elevation and climate of the producing area are different, the flavor of coffee beans will also be good and bad. Therefore, if there is a well-known guaranteed manor, the quality of coffee beans must be guaranteed, and it can also be understood by coffee fans.

What is the flavor of producing area?

As a crop, coffee is affected by many factors, such as altitude, climate, soil, planting technology, treatment of raw beans, and so on, and coffee is only a general term, which is subdivided into a variety of varieties. For example, the hand-brewed coffee beans most commonly used for daily consumption in Qianjie shops belong to Arabica species, in which detailed types of coffee are subdivided, such as iron pickup, bourbon, and so on. This will affect the flavor of coffee beans from the source, that is, the flavor of the producing area of Qianjie coffee.

And the varieties of boutique coffee are all derived from Arabica coffee, but there is no lack of hybrid coffee beans of Arabian and Robusta varieties, such as Indonesia's well-known pwn Gold Mantning in 2020 to launch the latest Ateng varieties of coffee beans, which is a combination of Robsta and Arabica varieties of coffee.

What factors determine the flavor of individual coffee?

And there are three main factors that affect the flavor of a coffee bean, namely, coffee producing areas, varieties and treatments. For example, coffee producing areas are divided into Asia, Africa and Latin America, and each producing area has its own unique flavor. And coffee varieties, as mentioned in the street before, most of the individual coffee varieties are Arabica coffee beans, and the coffee treatment method is even more varied. The common ones are washing treatment, sun treatment, honey treatment and so on, which are all factors that affect the flavor of coffee. Next, Qianjie will recommend some individual coffee to coffee fans around a few o'clock.

Coffee Flavor characteristics of three Coffee producing areas

As the former street article said, the coffee producing areas are mainly divided into Africa, Asia and Latin America, in which the flavor of the African region is famous for its bright acidity. For example, Ethiopia's water-washed Yega Xuefei's charming citrus acid is loved by the majority of coffee fans. Asian coffee is famous for its mellow, spicy herbal flavor, such as the unique herb of Indonesia Mantenin coffee in Asia. The spice flavor and mellow taste have won a batch of coffee fans, while the coffee flavor of Latin America is between these two producing areas, which is more balanced and varied, but the main flavor is mainly nuts and cocoa. For example, the Brazilian Queen Manor coffee beans in the front street store are well known by coffee fans for their rich nutty cocoa flavor.

Common coffee treatment methods for single coffee

For example, the coffee representatives of the three major coffee producing areas listed above all have their obvious flavor characteristics, and their coffee treatments are also different. Next, let's talk about the differences of these three treatments in Qianjie.

Sun treatment

Sun treatment is the oldest treatment, also known as "natural drying". Sun treatment does not require multi-high-end equipment, only a continuous sunny day to carry out the sun operation, in which exposure takes 27-30 days. Therefore, the climatic conditions are more stringent and are suitable for countries in arid areas. For example, Ethiopia is a coffee producer that widely uses solarization because of its high altitude, dry climate and lack of water resources. However, it is worth noting that although the sun treatment is relatively simple, it is also because the appearance of the sun-treated coffee beans is not good-looking, there will be some cracks, so it is not particularly popular.

Washing treatment method

Most of the coffee beans in different producing areas in Qianjie are also washed, especially Qianjie grain beans, because the washed coffee beans will be cleaner and the flavor will be more thorough, which is in line with the most primitive taste of coffee fruit. therefore, Qianjie often says that the flavor of washed coffee beans is a guide lamp to know the flavor of a producing area.

Wet planing method

Wet planing is a method for rapid treatment of coffee beans, peeling off the peel and pulp of coffee beans, briefly fermenting and drying them, then removing pectin and sheep skin, and then drying the latter section until the moisture content is reduced to 12%. Wet planing treated Mantenin coffee beans can obviously see different degrees of extrusion cracks, this phenomenon Qianjie coffee does not belong to defective beans, but belongs to the original characteristics of Mantenin.

As mentioned in the previous street article, the treatment of wet planing will cause "defects" of coffee beans. This is because when the parchment is removed by wet planing, the water content of coffee is still as high as 20-24%. In general, 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.

In addition, there are many kinds of coffee processing methods to deal with hand-made single coffee beans also have different flavor performance, then Qianjie will come to give coffee fans Amway these hand-made coffee beans.
