What is a single production area?

[introduction to coffee bean producing areas-single area and manor farms]

With the popularity of the coffee market, people began to pursue the flavor characteristics of various coffee producing areas. The coffee beans on the market can be roughly divided into two types: "single producing area" and "manor farm".

[single producing area]

Most of the coffee in the world comes from the harvest of small farmers in a single area. farmers in neighboring areas will centralize the harvested fruit to post-processing plants (similar to the concept of peasant associations), which will then be sold by processing plants.

The single producing area coffee we drink (for example, Luo Dad's Columbia Fanxing batch), it is only when the processing factory selects the current harvest and mixes the hard work of dozens of farmers to form this batch of coffee; strictly speaking, what we drink is already "producing area mixed beans"!

The characteristics of coffee beans in a single producing area also vary from region to region. For example, Brazil has a strong taste, with chocolate aftertaste, Indonesia has a mellow flavor, bitter cocoa aftertaste, and Rodad's Colombian star batch is clean and fruity.

On the other hand, the so-called "single manor" coffee is that the farm owner is responsible for all the harvest and post-processing work. This one-stop treatment requires not only considerable knowledge and enthusiasm for coffee cultivation, but also a lot of equipment and funds for post-processing. In Panama, for example, the famous La Esmeralda is run by the Peterson family, and the annual harvest of geisha Geisha coffee is always admired all over the world.

Luo Dad drinks a different sample of coffee every month; for me, every coffee is the harvest that farmers have worked hard for a whole year. Good friends who love coffee can also keep an open mind, single producing areas and manor farms have a try, try different producing areas and characteristics, is also a pleasure of drinking coffee!
