What is COE bidding for coffee beans? What are the benefits of buying competitive coffee beans?

There are nearly 100 kinds of coffee beans on the bean list on the front street, each with a unique name, some are named after the flavor, such as Rose Valley, some are named after the manor, such as the Queen's Manor of Brazil, and some are named after coffee bean competitions, such as TOH and COE.

In recent years, Panamanian Rosa Coffee has covered half the sky with a wave of the hand, and the heat of BOP is getting higher and higher. But do you remember the COE competition? What is C.O.E? Generally speaking, our common bidding beans are marked with C.O.E. Refers to (Cup Of Excellence) International Coffee Cup Test, C.O.E. The judges are the most credible in the top coffee competition, and the ones who can stand out from the strict competition are the best coffee in that country that year, and they have to keep a high score in each cup test to be at the top before they can be crowned with C.O.E. The winning logo shows that the coffee beans of Yusheng Manor will adopt a unified and specific online auction method to allow buyers around the world to bid for coffee beans in an open and transparent manner. in this way, the popularity of outstanding award-winning farms spreads quickly and the coffee in competition batches can get a better price. You can see how good the quality of COE coffee is.

The competition method of COE Zhuoyue Cup coffee cup test is: each coffee farmer will carefully select about 25 to 35 bags of about 60 kg each, and send it to the warehouse of the Congress before the competition to keep until the auction is over. The first stage is the preliminary competition, the second stage is the semi-finals, and the third stage is called TOP 10. The minimum score of each stage must reach more than 84 points to qualify. Under this strict competition system, there are about 20,30 farms or manors left, and the bidding beans are ranked according to their scores.

Can be found in C.O.E. Each coffee that won the prize must have its own unique characteristics, and the quality of winning from many farms must have gone through severe challenges, and the quality is also the best in many farms. The game bean itself has very few defects, and the color is similar to the consistency of size and particles. Even after roasting, the expansion degree is consistent with the color of the coffee, and the taste will reflect the growing environment, soil and topography. Even the way of handling raw beans creates a unique flavor. Although the conditions of coffee beans produced on the farm are not much different, participating in the bidding is definitely to select the best beans on the farm to compete.

With the experience of C.O.E competition, it is easier to establish information to contact foreign buyers in production, transportation and marketing, which can help foreign buyers to solve their worries. If a farm with a small output of about 30 to 40 bags is easier to trade with more foreign small coffee buyers, it will benefit both sides without having to trade directly through middlemen or large coffee traders, in addition to eliminating the profits of middlemen or large coffee traders. The main savings are freight costs and inter-country tariffs, which are the driving force behind the efforts of coffee producers.

The award-winning manor has won C.O.E in its efforts to improve its quality. Recognition, not only to win a major award, but also to enable farmers to get the price and feedback they deserve, to participate in C.O.E. The competition not only makes farmers more committed to improving the quality of coffee beans, but also creates a market for boutique coffee.

COE is such a representative race, how can Qianjie miss it? Qianjie is also mentioned in front. There is a bean from COE on the bean list in Qianjie. The COE Cup of Excellence has been held annually in coffee-producing countries since 1999, and Ethiopia, as the birthplace of coffee, did not hold its first-ever COE Cup of Excellence until 2020.

In Ethiopia's first COE Excellence Cup competition, Qianjie also took part in the bidding for the purchase of coffee beans. COE22, which started on the front street, stood out among 28 coffee beans in Ethiopia's COE contest in 2020, finishing 22nd that year with a score of 87.64.

Qianjie coffee beans come from the Sidamo producing area, where coffee is grown between 1400 and 2000 meters above sea level. The coffee flavor in the Sidamo area is diverse, with different soil types, microclimate and countless varieties of original coffee, which makes the coffee produced by each town in the Sidamo area have obvious differences and characteristics. Most Sidamo coffee beans are tanned. Qianjie believes that the coffee beans in the Sidamo area have a wild berry cream flavor and a smooth taste. The Sidamo coffee beans in Qianjie are also treated by the sun.

Sun exposure is the most primitive and traditional post-processing method for raw coffee beans. After harvesting and screening the fully ripe coffee red fruit, the whole fruit is laid completely and evenly on the elevated shed for sun treatment, and the coffee beans need to be manually turned evenly before the water content of the coffee beans is 25%. It needs to be turned every 30 to 60 minutes to avoid unpleasant overfermentation. The greenhouse drying way of such high-intensity human labor keeps the coffee fruit away from the ground and prevents defects and miscellaneous smells in the sun process, creating an attractive and pure fruit flavor. After about two weeks of sun exposure, the dark brown coffee fruit is stored and the peel and sheepskin are removed before shipment. Through the cup test of washing, honey-treated and sun-cured coffee beans in the front street, it was found that the sun-treated coffee beans had stronger fruit aroma and sweetness.

The roaster of Qianjie Coffee, considering the high quality acidity of the coffee, adopted the degree of medium and light roasting when roasting the beans.

Because of the degree of medium and shallow baking, Qianjie recommends using higher water temperature, medium and fine grinding degree and Hario V60 filter cup when cooking.

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 91 degrees Celsius

Amount of powder: 15g

Ratio of powder to water: 1:15

Degree of grinding: medium fine grinding (Chinese standard No. 20 screen pass rate of 80%)

First inject 30 grams of hot water for 30 seconds of stuffy steaming, then the small flow slowly circle into the second section of water to 125 grams for segmentation, when the water level in the filter cup drops to 1 / 3, the injection of the third section of water to 225 grams can stop the water injection, and the filter cup can be removed when the water in the filter cup drips completely to the bottom of the pot, and the total extraction time is about 2 minutes.
