What are Hainan coffee beans? Hainan coffee beans are exposed. How is Hainan coffee processed?

Yunnan coffee may be familiar to everyone in Chinese coffee, but Yunnan coffee is not the only coffee in China, but Yunnan coffee accounts for a large proportion of coffee production, and it is also the main place where coffee is grown in China. Coffee growing areas in China are mainly concentrated in Taiwan, Yunnan and Hainan. In addition to Yunnan coffee, Hainan coffee is also very good. The local coffee flavor is relatively heavy, but we drink it less.

Yunnan coffee growing area is known as the golden zone, the coffee flavor is nuts, tea, brown sugar and plum acid, taste a bit of pine, but also relatively thick. And Hainan, where the average annual temperature is relatively high, with a temperature of more than 20 ℃ and more precipitation, with an average annual precipitation of more than 1600 mm, is in the golden location of the "coffee belt". The soil of Hainan Island is also very fertile. Because of volcanic activity, many areas have fertile soil with good drainage and volcanic ash.

Therefore, Hainan flavor mellow coffee; fragrant but not bitter, strong but not strong. This is the biggest feature of Hainan coffee, in addition to the unique flavor, stir-frying technology also makes its flavor become more rich and fragrant. The frying technology follows and surpasses the method of Southeast Asia, and is famous for its characteristics of "good color and taste, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong". The original aroma of coffee, mellow and full-bodied fragrance, and a long aftertaste, is a good color, smell and taste.

The main producing areas of coffee in Hainan

Hainan mainly grows medium-grain coffee, that is, Robusta varieties. The advantageous areas include Chengmai, Wanning, Wenchang, Qiongzhong, Baisha and Sanya. Hainan is one of the earliest areas in China to grow coffee. In Hainan, there are two places where coffee is the most famous. One is Xinglong Coffee in Wanning, and the other is Chengmai Fushan Coffee. In addition, Hainan's high-quality coffee also has Chunguang, Nanguo, Hou Chen, Lishen and other brands.

Both Xinglong Coffee and Fushan Coffee began to be grown after the founding of the people's Republic of China. In 1953, shortly after the establishment of the overseas Chinese Farm in Xinglong, Hainan, returned overseas Chinese introduced coffee from overseas to grow. In the 1970s, the planting area of Xinglong coffee reached more than 1000 mu. Fushan Coffee is a similar environment. In the 1950s, the planting area of coffee in Chengmai County was only about 100 mu. In the early 1970s, Xu Xiuyi, founder of Fushan, set up a Fushan coffee plantation and processing plant in Fushan Town, Chengmai County, north of Hainan Island, to reclaim wasteland and vigorously develop coffee planting industry. By 2013, the planting area of Fushan coffee was about 60,000 mu, and the annual output of dried coffee beans reached 3,000 tons.

Hainan Coffee Bean Variety-Robsta

Arabica varieties of coffee are mostly boutique coffee, and they are picky about the growth environment, such as high altitude and shade trees, while Robusta varieties do not have such high requirements for growth environment, and have strong adaptability and disease resistance. The higher the altitude, the better the flavor of the coffee, so the Arabica coffee is naturally better than the Robusta coffee. Robusta varieties of coffee are mostly commercial beans, such as instant coffee or espresso.

The environment of growing coffee in Hainan is generally low altitude, which is very suitable for the growth of Robusta coffee trees. Therefore, the whole Hainan Island is basically based on the cultivation of Robusta species.

Baking method of Hainan Coffee beans

The coffee we usually drink is baked by machines and then brewed, but the roasting method of Hainan coffee is different from the usual, with its own unique roasting method, that is, the unique ancient way of stir-frying coffee with sugar. Hainan coffee adopts the traditional stir-frying method of overseas Chinese, and the deep roasting of coffee beans in Southeast Asia brought back by returned overseas Chinese also gives Hainan coffee a special flavor. Coffee in Hainan is not roasted in the same way as today's roasting plants, but in large iron pots. Hainan's stir-frying technology is based on the method of Southeast Asia. Hainan is the most suitable way to stir-fry local coffee. In the process of stir-frying, we should not only master the heat, but also timely add sugar, salt and butter. This kind of coffee is particularly fragrant.

Fushan coffee roasting method is to set up a large pot, light firewood, a big shovel, coffee beans poured in to constantly stir-fry. This may seem very simple, but in fact, how much heat and how long it takes depends on experience, and these factors will directly affect the taste of coffee. The roasting feature of Fushan coffee is also reflected in the last process, which is to add sun-dried Robusta coffee beans in a large iron pot and roast them with charcoal fire at the bottom. The master holds a big shovel and constantly stir-fry the coffee beans, waiting for an explosion. We need to seize the opportunity to add a lot of white sugar to keep stir-frying. Wait for white sugar and coffee beans blend, gradually caramel, bean body oil shiny black can be on the plate to cool.

Usually drink coffee with sugar in order to make the coffee less bitter and taste sweeter, while the fried beans in Hainan do not add sugar to increase the sweetness of the coffee, but to form a coating outside the coffee beans with dissolved sugar to wrap up the aroma of the coffee beans. after this process, the coffee beans changed from brown to black. Here, the roasting of Xinglong coffee beans is completed. Nowadays, many manufacturers use machines to bake coffee, but the people of Fushan think that only coffee roasted with firewood can have human feelings. Of course, these traditional coffees are different from the original flavor of the producing areas advocated by boutique coffee, and it is a kind of local coffee.

Some people may not be used to the taste of this kind of coffee, so in the local area, more people will add condensed milk or sugar to drink coffee, which is also the local specialty coffee. However, Qianjie believes that if you have the opportunity, you can still experience Hainan coffee to reflect the different flavor of coffee. Of course, there are more than 50 kinds of coffee from different producing areas on the front street, such as coffee gene bank Esser's coffee with more than a dozen beans, favorite Panamanian rose coffee, floral Colombian coffee, whisky-flavored sherry coffee, and so on.

No matter what kind of coffee it is, Qianjie recommends using fresh coffee beans to grow and boil, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are all roasted within 5 days, and the purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee". Let every guest who places an order be the freshest coffee when he receives the coffee. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
