Because there are more than 200 kinds of single coffee beans in Qianjie coffee alone, and at present there are more than 50 kinds of coffee fans in stores, which is really not a good choice. Then the next article on Qianjie Coffee will recommend coffee beans suitable for hand brewing to coffee fans.

What is hand-made coffee?

The hand-brewed coffee in the Qianjie coffee shop is often said in the coffee market as fine coffee, also known as single-product coffee, that is, coffee beans produced in a single producing area, and can be traced back to the origin of coffee, down to the characteristics of manors and estates in the producing areas. Understand the story of the coffee producing area from the source.

The production of fine coffee producing countries all over the world, respectively, can be divided into Asia, Africa, Latin America three continents, the altitude climate of these three continents have their own characteristics, which also led to the flavor of coffee beans are also different, but in general, the flavor of origin in each continent is not too different, so the flavor of coffee can be divided into three categories on the macro level.

For example, Asian coffee flavor presents a spicy herbal flavor, mellow taste; African coffee flavor presents a refreshing citrus citric acid or cherry acid, fresh and bright taste; and Latin American coffee flavor is between the first two, more balanced, and with nutty cocoa flavor, which is also caused by the great difference in climate and altitude within its growing area. Then Qianjie Coffee will recommend to you the coffee types that are more representative in these three continents.

Coffee bean producing areas in Indonesia

Indonesia, located in southeastern Asia, is a typical tropical rain forest climate, with an average annual temperature of 25-27 ℃, no seasons and an annual precipitation of 1600-2200mm. Indonesia is located in the volcanic zone, the soil is fertile and rich in minerals, which is conducive to the growth of coffee beans. Indonesia is between 9-2100 meters above sea level, and the main coffee-growing areas are concentrated in about 1200 meters. Therefore, it is also a very suitable producing area for coffee cultivation.

Indonesian coffee treatment-wet planing treatment

Indonesia's Mantenin is famous for Qianjie Coffee because the local wet planing treatment is due to the fact that the local weather in Indonesia is often dominated by Rain Water, with continuous typhoons, unable to achieve the good weather needed for the sun, and the local economy is not good, so it is also impossible to use the more expensive method of washing.

As a result, the wet planing method with local characteristics is derived. Now the development of coffee in Indonesia is no longer as poor as it used to be, and there are many manors and companies that have certain conditions to use the washing method, but why have they not abandoned the wet planing method? therefore, Qianjie Coffee feels that wet planing is a factor that has brought Mantenin Coffee to the world, because when it comes to Mantini coffee, coffee fans will think of the wet planing method, which shows that they already complement each other.

The reason for planting this variety is that Katim has the Robusta gene, so it is better than a single old variety in disease resistance, and the yield is good. Compared with the delicate old variety, the disease resistance is poor and the yield is low. Farmers naturally prefer to plant Katim. So now there has been a Katim wind in Yunnan.

The treatment of coffee beans in Costa Rica mainly uses honey treatment, this is because the local coffee farms are on the mountain, it is very inconvenient to send to the coffee processing plant at the foot of the mountain, and the coffee fruit is easy to be dampened along the way.
