明家自家烘焙之精品咖啡(二)哥伦比亚

Although it has been overtaken by Vietnam and Indonesia, it used to dominate the world coffee market. as the first producer of washed bean coffee, second only to neighboring Brazil, Colombia, which ranks second in the world, still stabilizes the world boutique coffee market with its excellent quality. there is no shortage of good beans in the sublime and precipitous Andes. This time the Ming family came to Colombia's boutique beans, the winner of the 2007 CUP OF EXCELLENCE Cup-boutique beans from a farm called La Esperanza in the Huila area.

The beans are all above 18, but the shape of the full and symmetrical emerald is mouth-watering. The beans are not only large, but also the growth at high altitude has created a very high density. After baking for four minutes, the beans are still a little light green, and the duration between the first explosion and the second explosion is relatively long, but good beans plus good heat and kindness will always wait for a good taste! The overall palate can be called clear-bright and beautiful acidity, rich and bright taste, countless flavors are perfectly harmonious and smooth and mellow, even in the crisp finish can also make people feel full-bodied caramel flavor.

For more information about the farm, look at the results of the COE competition.
