Coffee in the world is generally divided into three major coffee producing areas, namely African coffee, American coffee and Asian coffee. The origins of the three major coffee producing areas are all from Ethiopia, and then coffee continues to spread around the world with the development of the times. As a boutique coffee shop specializing in selling coffee beans, of course, Asian coffee beans will also be on the front street.

Qianjie has coffee growing in China, which is located in Baoshan, Yunnan and other areas. In recent years, the heat of Yunnan coffee is very high, and the sales volume of Yunnan coffee is on the rise. At the beginning, Yunnan planted a variety of tin pickup coffee, but because the output of iron pickup was not high. And the disease resistance is poor, so Yunnan kayenong is not willing to grow iron pickup coffee. On the contrary, Katim varieties are widely welcomed by Yunnan farmers, so now most of the varieties of coffee in Yunnan are Katim.

Katim is mainly planted in Dehong, Baoshan, Pu'er and other places in Yunnan Province, as well as Panzhihua in Sichuan and Myanmar. Yunnan is more than 1200 meters above sea level, with a lot of annual rainfall, fertile soil and loose soil. In particular, Baoshan in Yunnan Province, the dry and hot valley climate is very suitable for growing coffee. Because Yunnan is located between 15 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, most of the high altitude areas, where perennial high temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, suitable rainfall, sufficient light, mineral-rich red volcanic ash soil, these unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small-grain coffee taste, so the coffee produced here is of good quality, mellow flavor, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. Yunnan coffee in China has great potential. Now Baoshan has become the largest coffee variety base and one of the important producing areas in China.

Qianjie generally tests the roasted coffee beans and judges the coffee flavor in terms of aroma, acidity, mellow thickness, cleanliness and aftertaste. Qianjie cup test will be conducted within eight to 24 hours after roasting this Yunnan coffee bean. At this time, the cup test result is the most accurate, taking 11.3 grams of coffee powder, and then after smelling the dry fragrance stage, after adding 94 degrees of hot water, you can taste the flavor of this Yunnan Huaguoshan coffee by smelling the wet fragrance within four minutes, then breaking the dregs and picking up the dregs.

In this cup of Yunnan Huaguoshan coffee, the result of Qianjie Cup is that Yunnan coffee is rich in fruit aroma and melon. The taste is smooth, with nutty flavor in the middle, plum acid in the end, bright acidity and good balance. When the coffee cools, you can clearly taste the sweet and sour layers.

Therefore, the front street from the cup test results show that when brewing Yunnan coffee, use the KONO filter cup, because the KONO filter cup has shorter ribs, so the coffee extraction time is longer, in this case, the coffee powder soaks for a longer time, which is very suitable for extracting coffee with a mellow flavor like Asian coffee. The water temperature is 88 degrees, because if the water temperature is low, the extraction of coffee substances is slow, and it is very easy to extract the mellow taste of coffee. In the proportion of powder to water, Qianjie usually uses 1:15 to brew this Yunnan coffee.

Qianjie will use the three-stage method to brew this Asian Yunnan coffee, first using 30 grams of water for steaming, then injecting water around the circle to 125 grams for segmentation, when the water level drops to the exposed powder bed. when you continue to inject water to 225 grams, you can stop the injection and remove the filter cup. The flavor of Yunnan coffee brewed in this way is roughly the same as that measured by the cup, with an overall balance of rich, soft acidity and a bit of nutty flavor.

The very representative coffee in Asia has to talk about Manning Coffee on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is strange to say that Yunnan and Indonesia, as the representatives of Asian coffee, grow iron trucks at the beginning of this place. At first, the Dutch began to grow coffee in Java, and then because of traffic reasons, the transportation in Sumatra is more convenient, and then the coffee is transplanted to Sumatra, where the coffee is called Sumatran Coffee, also known as Manning Coffee.

When it comes to Asian coffee, everyone's impression is that compared with the three major coffee producing areas in the world, the taste is more mellow, and Mantenin is famous for its mellow taste and rich herbal flavor. Indonesian coffee varieties are a bit like Yunnan coffee cultivation, where most varieties of iron pickup are planted at the beginning, and then the yield of iron pickup is low and is susceptible to leaf rust, while the high yield of the Katim variety is more popular in Indonesia. The flavor of Katim is not appreciated by everyone, just as Han Huaizong often refers to the flavor of Katim as devil-like flavor in his books, but Katim is grown in Indonesia and is well adapted to the high humid and hot weather in Indonesia. and the taste of Asian coffee beans is very good. Of course, Qianjie learned that Katim's coffee flavor has something to do with the local use of wet planing in Indonesia.

Mantenin raw beans are generally treated by wet planing, which makes coffee beans have a wet planing flavor. We generally think that wet planing has the taste of soil, tobacco and chocolate, and the sour taste is called "low acid". Mellow and very dull. Wet planing, also known as wet shelling, is a traditional Indonesian coffee treatment method. Coffee treated in this way is usually mellow and strong, with a very obvious personality. Therefore, the entrance of this Mantenin coffee on the front street has a taste of herbs, dark chocolate, caramel, obvious flavor, sweet back.

For example, Yunnan or Indonesia are between the Tropic of Cancer, commonly known as the coffee golden belt, the distribution of coffee producing areas in the world is mainly located between this Tropic of Cancer, and the three major coffee producing areas in the world are located between the coffee gold belt. There is also Vietnamese coffee, which is the number one coffee producer in Asia. Vietnam's coffee production is growing, but most of the coffee exported is Robusta coffee, which is mostly used for commercial coffee.
