The flavor characteristics of Asian coffee: deep flavor and strong taste

When it comes to Asian coffee, the first impression of coffee lovers is often calm and calm. It is precisely because of the heavy nature of Asian coffee that it is very suitable to be used as a base when making Italian coffee. The raw coffee beans in Asia are generally processed by wet or semi-wet process. most of the raw beans are uniform, but the color of the beans treated by semi-wet method is darker. Asian coffee is generally characterized by thick flavor, strong sweetness and round taste, but slightly flat aroma and brightness.

Coffee producing areas in China are mainly in Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong and Taiwan. Northern Hainan Island, southern Yunnan Province, located between 15 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, its coffee is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, very unique. And with a little fruit flavor, it is the top grade of coffee, which is highly praised internationally.

Taiwan is located in the subtropics, the territory is mountainous, and there is an obvious rainy season. As far as coffee is concerned, it is a good growing environment for coffee. Since the British introduced coffee trees during Guang Xu's time, they are still planted on a small scale. The more famous producing areas are Huilin Farm (more than 1000 meters above sea level) in Nantou Mountain area and Hebao Mountain in Yunlin Ancient Keng (294 meters above sea level). Coffee flavor is similar to Central and South American beans, has a soft sour taste and good texture, mild taste.

Yunnan is the main coffee bean producing area in China. Yunnan is located in the subtropical mountain climate zone south of the Tropic of Cancer, with unique plateau red soil, fertile and loose soil and mild climate, which is especially suitable for growing small-grain coffee.

Yunnan coffee was first introduced in 1902.

Introduced by Chinese missionaries, there are still 24 coffee trees with an age of more than 90 years in Zhukula Township, Binchuan County. In 1914, the border people of the Ruili Jingpo nationality were introduced from Burma to Nongxian Village. Tibika and Bobang, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main cultivated varieties of coffee in Yunnan. Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed. Bobang terminal bud tender leaves are green, called green top coffee; Tiebika top leaves are red copper, called red top coffee.

After inspecting the coffee planting and primary processing base in Yunnan, international coffee organization tasting experts rated Yunnan coffee as the kind of small seed coffee processed by Colombian wet processing, which is the highest quality coffee in the world.

At present, Yunnan coffee is mainly distributed in 11 prefectures and cities, such as Baoshan, Simao, Yuxi and Dehong. Among them, the quality of coffee in Baoshan and Simao area is the best.

Lujiangba in the dry and hot valley is the "tropical treasure house" of Baoshan. The average temperature in the dam is 21.5℃, the highest is 40.4 ℃, and there is almost no frost all the year round. The small grains of coffee cultivated here are strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, small and well-proportioned, mellow and fruity.

Simao, located in the upper reaches of the Lancang River, is famous for its steep terrain and is one of the famous producing areas of Pu'er tea in China. At the same time, Simao is also the area with the largest coffee planting area in China. The planting area of coffee is about 150000 mu, and the output can reach 22500 tons. Simao area is between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level, with mountains and slopes, many dry and hot valleys and barren mountains, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and a large temperature difference between day and night, making it very suitable for coffee growth.

Due to the unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, Yunnan coffee has formed a unique flavor of strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, with a little fruit flavor. The quality of coffee depends on many factors, such as growing environment, climate, cultivation and management techniques and so on. Its best growing environment is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunshine, but other areas in this zone, such as Hawaii and Saudi Arabia in the United States, or low altitude or little rain in the desert. Only Simao in Yunnan Province has all kinds of suitable conditions, so it creates the mellow flavor of Simao coffee.

"in the end, is Yunnan, which we disdain, good?"

Look at the beans, 1. The variety is Tibika (although 95% of Yunnan is a hybrid variety of Luodou, such as Katim, there is still a little Tibika), 2. High altitude (excluding Baoan Lujiang dam area, some areas of Pu'er), 3. If there is a clear way to deal with it, it will taste good.
