Introduction to the Information, Taste and Flavor of individual Coffee Bean producing area

Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style) a wide variety of individual coffee, the world's three major coffee producing regions: Asia, Latin America and Africa

Each has its own special flavor.

Generally speaking

Asian coffee beans mainly have a strong flavor.

African coffee beans are characterized by multi-layered acidity and bright floral aroma.

Latin America is a collection of the first two.

There are not only rich and mellow coffee producing areas, but also coffee producing areas with bright fruit flavors.

Qianjie Coffee is looking for the best quality coffee beans in these three producing areas.

Don't look at the dozens of individual coffees on the sign.

That's several times as many coffee beans as I tried.

Finally, it is determined that the coffee beans with obvious flavor advantages in the producing areas will face the customers.

The following Qianjie Coffee will explain in detail the specific flavor of individual coffee in each producing area, which is the African coffee producing region Ethiopia.

Yega Xuefei, Ethiopia is an area rich in fine coffee.

The Red Cherry Project is actually an improvement plan to improve the quality of Ethiopian coffee beans.

Dutch raw bean merchant Trabocca and local farmers jointly launched

To pick coffee and raw beans, we should not only pick the all-red fruit, but also harvest it by hand.

The method of handling should pay more attention to details.

Avoid polluting coffee beans and affecting their flavor

Qianjie Coffee currently has two types of red cherry coffee beans on the shelves.

Sun treatment and red honey treatment were used respectively.

Because of the different treatment methods, the flavor formed is also different.

[Yejia Sherry Red Cherry Coffee Sunburn]

The sweet and sour taste of the mouth is obvious, with lemon, berry and fermented wine aroma, and the citric acid tone of the aftertaste is lasting and obviously sweet

[Yejia Sheffield Red Cherry Coffee Red Honey]

The imported products have obvious floral aromas, with citrus, almonds, berries, overall floral aromas and citrus notes, with a lingering finish.

The Waka Cooperative was established in 2005.

And joined the famous Yejia Sheffield Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU,Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union) that year.

The Waka Cooperative has about 300 coffee farmers.

[Yega Chuefeiwaka Coffee washed]

There are lemon, plum and Tieguanyin in the entrance. Under the change of temperature, the taste of caramel is obvious, the acidity is bright, and the taste is obvious.

Guodingding Cooperative, located in the Waka producing area at the southeast end of Yega Sheffield.

It used to be part of the Waka Cooperative.

With the arrival of the third wave of boutique coffee

Qianjie Coffee found that people pay more attention to the traceability of raw coffee beans.

And because the flavor characteristics of the producing area are obvious enough and independent.

In 2012, the Guoding Cooperative was unearthed in this way.

When Qianjie Coffee compares this gourd to Waka,

It is found that although they all have a strong sense of tea,

But there is still a difference between the two.

Wauka has a rich caramel flavor, bright and clean acidity.

Fruit Ding Ding tends to be clean and sweet.

[Yejia Xuefei Guoding Coffee washed]

There are citrus and black tea in the entrance, and with the change of temperature, there are cream, caramel, almond and sweet aftertaste.

From the foggy valley in the micro-producing area of Yejassefi.

After the introduction of washing techniques in the late 20th century

Push the coffee beans from this producing area to the world.

And the local coffee merchant Bugsy misses the traditional flavor of sun-dried beans.

Therefore, the treatment method of sun-dried beans was improved.

Improve the flavor and reduce the proportion of defects

Launch of Idido Misty Valley, Beloya and Aricha, three very famous sun-dried beans of Yega Xuefei.

[Yega Chuefei Erica Aricha Coffee in the Sun]

There is a ripe fruit aroma, the entrance has obvious fermentation aroma, green lift, the temperature drops slightly, there is citric acid, cream, the end has a sense of grape juice

In 2017, Ethiopia's DW Raw Bean Company

Send their coffee beans to TOH (the Taste Of Harvest), a competition hosted by the African Coffee Association.

Sunburn batch won the championship of TOH Ethiopia in one fell swoop.

This batch of raw beans, in the capacity of champion, is named "Sakuran".

The first batch of Sakuran came from Humbera.

So much so that now when it comes to Humbela,

You will think of Sakuran.

Humbela belongs to the Guji producing area.

The Guji producing area once belonged to the Sidamo producing area.

But it has been independent into a new production area by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) in 2010.

As said in front of the front street coffee.

Due to the prominence of flavor

New coffee producing areas are constantly known to the world.

[Cedar Mohuaqua Coffee in the Sun]

Full berry juice, black tea, grapefruit peel, honey after rhyme.

Sidamo is the southernmost part of Ethiopia

It is a famous boutique coffee area in southern Ethiopia.

Qianjie coffee found that strawberry aroma is usually obvious in this producing area.

Candle Drima Zede means "Best Approach" in the local dialect

This candle is a series of tailor-made products based on 90 + years of experience.

90+ is famous for mastering the technology to control flavor performance.

[Sidamo 90 + Candle Coffee in the Sun]

Strawberry, nectarine, jackfruit, cream, cinnamon

Completely different from most Ethiopian farms.

Ruoxia Village is not a small farm, but a large farm of 500 hectares.

It has its own washing plant and laboratory, and the whole farm only grows rose varieties.

Instead of Ethiopian native species that are generally unable to determine specific varieties.

Ruoxia Village divides the farm into eight blocks and grows three main Rosa varieties.

These rosy summer seeds are collected from nearby forests, not from Panama

There is a strict grading system in Guoxia Village, which are competitive bidding, gold bid, red bid, green bid and CHAKA batches.

Red-marked coffee beans account for about 15% of the annual output of Ruoxia Village Manor.

Batches with complete traceability, cup test scores exceeding 88 (sca standard)

It has a typical flavor of Rosa Village, and its flavor intensity and complexity are slightly weaker than those of gold standard batches. It is a single product batch with very high performance-to-price ratio.

[red label Coffee in Ruoxia Village]

Citrus, cream, fermented flavor, high sweetness, fruit sugar Kenya

The acid in Kenya is different from Ethiopia.

Qianjie coffee is thought to be more sour.

Make an impression

This kind of acid comes from Kenya's unique washing method.

The general washing method is used to screen the mature coffee fruit and remove the peel and pulp.

Pectin is removed by soaking in a sink and fermenting, which rarely takes more than 36 hours.

But the fermentation time in Kenya is as long as 72 hours.

Then dry it until the moisture content reaches 12%.

[Kenya Azaria Coffee K72 washed]

There are obvious ripe tomato and floral aromas, imported virgin fruit and black plum flavor, bright acidity, clean and full juice, sweet berries and sweet Burundian finish.

There are almost no coffee farms in Burundi.

The pattern of coffee production in Burundi is similar to that in Ethiopia, mainly by small farmers.

Burundi is mainly based on the traditional water washing treatment.

Burundian coffee is mainly bourbon.

Qianjie Coffee, the Heart of Africa, is also a bourbon.

The aroma is not inferior to that of Kenya.

But the acid will be weaker than Kenya.

[Burundian Heart of Africa Coffee washing]

Brin, kumquat, lemon, dried fruit, caramel, light acidity, smooth taste, saturated aroma, rich and lasting Latin American coffee region Hawaii

At present, the common Hawaiian coffee in the market, including kona of Big Island, Maui Island, Cafu Island and lovely Island, all have coffee estates on display.

Among them, the kona coffee in Oshima is more famous.

Qianjie Coffee uses this kona coffee bean from Queen Manor on Big Island, which is certified by the Department of Agriculture of Hawaii.

The price of kona coffee is second only to Blue Mountain coffee.

In addition, the variety is also a tin truck.

Hawaiian kona Coffee and Blue Mountain Coffee are synonymous with premium coffee

[Hawaii kona Coffee washing]

Sweet-scented osmanthus, mulberry juice, maltose, plum, long-lasting caramel sweet Jamaica

Front Street Coffee, this Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1

Blue Mountain Coffee is the highest coffee grade.

From Clifton Manor, one of the oldest estates in Jamaica

Rainforest certified

And Jamaica is the only region where raw beans are used in wooden barrels.

Jamaica Blue Mountain or washed treatment currently on the market

But Front Street Coffee bought a batch of sun-cured Blue Mountain coffee.

This is the first time Blue Mountain coffee has been processed in addition to washing.

[Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1 Coffee Wash]

The taste is balanced, rich, sweet and bitter, and the aftertaste is endless. Panama

Emerald Manor isn't just the discoverer of rose summer flavor.

And the promoter of rose summer

Emerald Manor has a strict grading system for Rose Summer.

According to the elevation of the plot, it can be divided into red label, green label and blue label.

Red scale: altitude 1600-1800 meters, cup test above 90 points

Green label: 1600-1800 meters above sea level, micro-batch mixed beans on the same plot as red label

Blue label: Altitude 1400-1500 m

The most obvious difference between the red and green labels

The red label is the traceable planting plot, while the green label cannot be traced because of the mixed beans.

So sometimes there's a green label, and a batch has a flavor that's similar to the red label.

But there is no guarantee that every batch will have such a high output

[Jade Manor Red label Coffee in the Sun]

There are bright rose, citrus aromas, Xuanmi, berries, apricots, compound fruits, honey, thick juice, rich flavor levels, sweet obvious

[Emerald Manor Green Label Coffee Wash]

Jasmine floral, citrus, berry, juice, cream, green tea, orange peel, overall rich flavor layers, lingering floral, citrus lasting

[jadeite Manor Blue label Coffee washing]

Soft and sour notes of lemon and grapefruit, with oolong tea, honey and sucrose coming down slightly, the taste is relatively clean and bright.

Jensen Manor is the second most rosy summer manor in Panama.

And 50% of the plants in the manor are rosy summer coffee trees.

Each batch of raw beans has a highly identifiable batch number, which is 100% traceable.

Qianjie Coffee thinks the biggest difference between Jensen Rose Summer and Panamanian Rose Summer is

Although it is not as famous as the Jade Manor.

But Rose summer is also of good quality.

But there is still a distance compared with the green standard and the red standard.

Compared with the blue standard, the two flavors are relatively similar.

But because Jason has traceability, the blue standard does not.

So it will be relatively stable in each batch.

It is also reasonable that the price is higher than the blue mark.

[Jensen Manor Rose Summer Coffee in the Sun]

Maple syrup, lemon, citrus, apple, rose, dark chocolate, fruity, peach, multi-layered sweet and sour

Although Panama is famous for its rosy summer,

However, there are other manors that are not rich in rosy summer.

But coffee products are also famous.

Hartman Manor must be one of them.

It produces red wine treated coffee beans.

It took a lot of thought to deal with it.

Thus showing a chic flavor.

[Hartman Manor Coffee Red Wine treatment]

Full-bodied red wine with high sweetness, lively and bright acidity, rich layers, tropical fruits, nuts, red wine finish, honey, smooth taste

Flower butterfly coffee beans contain 70% of the rose summer varieties.

As we all know, the price of rose summer coffee beans is not low.

Qianjie Coffee thinks that if you want to try Rose Summer flavor for the first time,

You can start with this flower butterfly.

The high content of Rosa coffee beans gives it an obvious Rosa flavor.

But the price is lower than that of Rosa coffee beans.

It can be said that the ratio of performance to price is very high.

[butterfly Coffee Wash]

Floral aroma, black tea, berries, citrus, slightly nutty finish, smooth taste, low bitterness, moderate acidity, middle finish, etc.

The main flavor of Colombian coffee is soft acidity and mellow taste.

Qianjie Coffee thinks this flavor is the most common in South America.

It's just that there are slight differences between different producing areas.

But Qianjie coffee chose this rose valley coffee bean and washed it with anaerobic double enzyme.

It is also one of the special treatments that have attracted much attention in recent years.

[rose Valley Coffee is washed with anaerobic double enzyme]

Peach, with aromas of ripe fruits such as strawberries and melons, roses and champagne

The coffee beans of Hua Yue Night also adopt a special treatment.

Unlike Rose Valley, anaerobic solarization is used.

Qianjie Coffee often compares the two.

Because many guests will say that the two are very similar.

But there's a difference.

In terms of acid quality, the flower moon night is not as obvious as the rose valley.

The taste of mellow chocolate is more preferred.

There will be a little sense of fermentation in the sun treatment.

[flower and Moon Night Coffee anaerobic Sun]

Peach, strawberry, fermented wine, chocolate, fruit wine

San Jose is a coffee bean with a distinct alcoholic flavor.

Qianjie Coffee currently has four kinds of wine-scented coffee beans.

In addition to the above mentioned Hartmann of Panama, and this San Jose

And Honduras Shirley and Litchi Orchid, which will be introduced later.

San Jose uses a delicate rum barrel treatment.

Qianjie Coffee found coffee beans treated in this barrel.

It's obvious that the aroma lasts for a short time.

After all, the flavor is caused by external factors.

So Qianjie coffee is advised to finish as soon as possible.

[San Jose Coffee Fine Water rum barrel]

Rum, wine chocolate, tropical fruit, maple syrup

Because Panama is famous for its rosy summer.

Many countries in Latin America produce rose summer.

But the flavor is not as good as the Panamanian Jade Manor.

But as time goes on,

There are still many manors with better reputation for Rose Summer Coffee.

Except for the Jensen Manor mentioned earlier in the front street coffee.

This rose summer coffee bean from Hope Manor also has a good rose summer flavor.

[hope Manor Rose Summer Coffee is washed]

Jasmine, light tea, orange, lemon, ginger, honey, cream, oolong tea

Isabella, this coffee bean is the most "unlike" coffee bean in Colombia.

Because its variety is pink bourbon.

The yield is low, but the flavor is good, and it is clear in the acidity of the fruit.

But Qianjie coffee is in the process of cup testing.

You can still find the flavor of nut chocolate in the back of it.

[Isabella Coffee semi-washed]

Obvious citrus flavour, berries, cocoa, nuts, overall balance in Costa Rica

The main way to treat coffee beans in Costa Rica is honey treatment.

Originally, this way was formed by Brazil to adapt to the weather.

But Costa Rica takes this method to the extreme.

Even subdivided into white honey, yellow honey, red honey, black honey (color division)

The difference is to retain the content of pectin.

The more you keep, the darker the color.

Carnett Manor is rich in raisin honey treated coffee beans

On the basis of honey treatment, a drying step is added.

To form raisin-like lines on the surface of coffee beans before honey treatment.

These two Bach and Mozart musician series coffee beans

It is treated with raisin honey, which increases the richness in sweetness.

[Mozart coffee raisin honey treatment]

The aroma of berry and fermentation, with raisins and sweet oranges in the entrance, and the aroma of fermented wine and sweet-scented osmanthus is more obvious under the change of temperature.

[Baja coffee raisin honey treatment]

Fermented fragrance, with tropical fruit and fermented taste in the mouth, cream, nuts and caramel are more obvious under the change of temperature.

These two rosy summer coffee beans from Costa Rica

All come from Tarazhu producing area.

The altitude is also relatively similar.

They all use the method of washing.

The reason why Qianjie Coffee chose these two coffee beans

On the one hand, it can form an obvious contrast with the Panamanian Jade Manor.

On the other hand, I also want to see what difference they will have in the development of Rose Summer.

[small Candle Manor Rose Summer Coffee washing]

It smells of jasmine, with obvious acidity of imported lemon, high cleanliness, juice-like taste, honey sweetness in the middle, and green tea in the aftertaste.

[father Rose Summer Coffee washed]

It smells of ginger flowers, with sour notes of small tomatoes and citrus in the mouth, cream in the middle, brown sugar, cocoa and oolong tea in the aftertaste.

The first time I heard the name Lumi Sultan was probably when Sasa won the World Coffee Championship in 15.

Sultan Lumi was discovered in the Rumi Valley of the Boma Plateau in southeastern South Sudan near the Ethiopian border in the 1940s.

It is one of the original species of Arabica coffee, and it also belongs to Ethiopia.

This is an ancient wild coffee breed. In the coffee pedigree, Lumi Sultan has a longer history than iron pickup and bourbon coffee.

Lumi Sultan flavor is extremely amazing, but the disease resistance is ordinary and the yield is very low.

Until the appearance of Lumi Sudan in the World Coffee Masters.

Gradually attract people's attention.

Because of this, Qianjie coffee also picked this kind of coffee beans.

[Lumei Sultan Coffee washing]

Citrus, cream, oolong tea, berries, medium finish, obvious sweetness

This sapphire coffee bean comes from the Central Valley area.

Coffee beans rich in sour and mellow chocolate

[fire Phoenix Manor Sapphire Coffee in the Sun]

Berries, tropical fruits, fermented wine, juicy taste, black cocoa Brazil

Bourbon was first planted in Latin America in Brazil, which was widely planted in Latin America at that time

However, due to weak disease resistance, it gradually lost its yield advantage.

These two kinds of coffee beans from Brazil are both bourbon.

One is Huang Bourbon from Queen's Manor.

One is the Red Bourbon from Santos.

Bourbon, the second species caused by the mutation of Typica, belongs to the oldest coffee variety in existence, and the green fruit will show bright red when it ripens.

The so-called bourbon coffee beans refer to red bourbon

Yellow bourbon is determined by invisible genes, the mature color is yellow, the yield is low, but the flavor is good.

[Brazilian Yellow bourbon Coffee in the Sun]

Chocolate and nuts are obvious, with floral and spicy aromas, caramel sweetness, Pu'er tea aftertaste, the overall taste is mellow and smooth, the flavor is balanced.

[Brazilian Red bourbon Coffee half Sun]

The palate has obvious sweetness, with a hint of lemon aroma, strong nutty flavor, dark chocolate at the back, and a more round Honduran feel.

Shirley and Litchi orchid are the second of the four wine-flavored beans currently on the shelves of Qianjie Coffee.

They all come from the same manor-- Moca Manor.

In the treatment method, the wine barrel fermentation is carried out after washing.

The difference is that Shirley is fermented in sherry barrels after washing, while litchi orchid is fermented in brandy barrels after washing.

In terms of flavor, Shirley's wine is as full-bodied as heart chocolate and vanilla cream

Litchi orchid focuses on the flavor of nut chocolate, which is weaker than that of Shirley.

The main consideration of Qianjie coffee is that some guests are generally receptive to the aroma of wine.

But if you want to try wine-flavored coffee beans, you can try litchi orchid.

[Shirley Coffee washed and fermented in Shirley barrel]

Balanced fragrance, obvious aroma, vanilla cream, black cocoa, medium to low acidity

[litchi orchid coffee washed after brandy barrel fermentation]

Fermented, wine, light cream, nuts, chocolate

Asia

Indonesia

Indonesia's Mantenin is world-famous for its special herbal mellow flavor.

Coupled with its treatment method with local characteristics-- wet planing.

So much so that when it comes to Mandarin coffee beans, I think of the wet planing method.

At present, Qianjie Coffee has four kinds of Mantenin coffee beans with different flavors.

Golden Manning is very strict in the screening system and has to go through more than three screenings.

The taste is clean and neat, and it is also due to the screening process.

Tiger Manning has the delicate fragrance of Chinese fir in the fragrance.

On the other hand, the aged Mantenin uses the way of old storage to deepen the thick sense of the flavor.

Lin Dong Mantenin represents the most popular Mantenin flavor.

Qianjie coffee is recommended to start with the ordinary version.

And then slowly drink a more delicate flavor.

Lin Dong Manning: herbs, chocolates, nuts, baked toast

Golden Manning: spices, nuts, pine, chocolate, caramel

Aged Mantenin: cooked, chocolate, caramel, herbs

Tiger Manning: nuts, cream, dark chocolate, black sugar, caramel

The high cost of Kopi Luwak is that the civet chooses to ripen enough coffee fruit.

After digestion, it is discharged instead of artificial picking and treatment.

It is precisely because of this animal habit.

Make Kopi Luwak have a strong flavor.

But now more and more people produce Kopi Luwak by raising civets.

Qianjie Coffee thinks that this method has violated the original Kopi Luwak principle.

The step of artificial breeding is to artificially select coffee beans for civets to eat.

This is no different from picking coffee beans by hand.

The flavor formation is certainly not as good as the civet's spontaneous selection of beans.

[Kopi Luwak fermented in vivo]

Herbs, nuts, dark chocolate, fermented taste, syrup-like sticky taste Yunnan, China

Both coffee beans from Yunnan come from Baoshan area

Huaguoshan coffee beans are the iron pica species, while Arabica coffee beans are the katim species.

Tin Ka is pure Arabica, Katim is a hybrid of Kadura and Tim with the Robusta gene.

At present, the planting quantity of katim is larger than that of iron pickup

Front Street Coffee has its own estate in Yunnan near the Myanmar border

Planting iron pickup species, selecting suitable altitude and environment

Catim and iron pickup originally did not conflict, one is raw materials, the other is fine coffee

The significance of fine coffee is to improve quality, and the significance of raw materials is to improve yield.

And now there will be some merchants who deliberately cover up Katim's inferiority to boost its evaluation.

The front street coffee doesn't think it's necessary.

After all, the variety is there, and the flavor of the entrance is clear at a glance.

And Qianjie Coffee is not criticizing small grains of coffee. After all, we also provide small grains of coffee beans.

I just want to give consumers a comparative impression that the difference between varieties cannot be covered up in a few words.

[Yunnan Huaguoshan Coffee washing]

Light citrus sour and nutty aromas, taste is plum, citrus sour notes and nutty flavor, melon and brown sugar sweet, with some black tea in the aftertaste, the overall flavor is relatively rich
