The quality of Hainan coffee beans is good, red soil cultivation and unique natural environment. It's natural and mellow!

In Hainan, processed coffee candy is generally sold. In terms of coffee beans, Fukuyama Coffee and Xinglong Coffee are very popular, but the truth? In the end, it is still clear to those who are not beautiful.

However, as far as Robusta is concerned, the taste of medium-grain coffee grown in Hainan is still very characteristic, as if someone once said that "Hainan coffee is the best coffee in the world". That is, "Hainan coffee is the best robusta coffee in the world", which makes me feel very appropriate.

● remembers that in the 1980s, people in Hainan were still coffee trees in front and behind their houses, and they could smell the coffee on the firewood every day, but now there are not many coffee trees even in Xinglong (one of the most famous coffee producing areas in Hainan).

Coffee is difficult to grow, and the output is not high, so many people don't want to grow coffee. This is the current situation of coffee in Hainan. Although Hainan coffee is famous, the coffee planting area is getting smaller and smaller, on the other hand, the price of Hainan coffee beans is relatively high, which causes many enterprises to go to other places to purchase coffee rather than buy local coffee nearby. I once read the statistics a few years ago that 70% to 80% of the coffee sold under the name of Hainan came from outside Hainan. If you want to drink authentic Hainan coffee, it is not an easy task. Hainan coffee bought in Hainan is not necessarily Hainan coffee. Hainan coffee drunk in Hainan cafes may come from Vietnam. This is true, but for consumers, it is all unknowable.

After all, growing coffee is a life, not a feeling, not a play.

The red soil of Fushan is very suitable for growing coffee. Coffee is very demanding on climate and soil, even if the coffee seeds on the same tree are planted in different places in Fushan, the taste may be different. "the coffee grown in this land is of the best quality in Hainan," as a tea master once said, "Don't say 100 kilometers, even 10 kilometers of tea has a different taste."

The traditional stir-fry of ● Fukuyama coffee beans.

The most traditional method of roasting Fushan coffee is to set up a large pot, light firewood, a big shovel, and pour coffee beans to stir-fry constantly. 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 characteristics of Fushan coffee is also reflected in the last process, that is, roasted coffee beans have to add the right amount of sugar and then stir-fry. The purpose of adding sugar is not to increase the sweetness of the coffee, but to form a coating of dissolved sugar on the outside of the coffee beans, wrapping the aroma of the coffee beans. After this process, the coffee beans change 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.

● 1. Ground coffee

Fushan coffee was first ground with stone mills, big and small, which are now almost unused and scattered in every corner of the countryside. Today's machines have scales, and you can adjust the thickness of coffee powder according to your needs. The finer the coffee is, the more bitter it is, and it is not convenient to brew it by dripping, because it will block the filter eye. Fushan coffee is generally moderately ground, and the machine scale can be pulled to the position of 4.

● 2. Brew coffee

Coffee doesn't have to be brewed, for example, it can be brewed in a pressure pot. But the people of Fushan think the coffee tastes good enough. It is also easy to make coffee. All you need is an aluminum kettle. After the water is boiled, pour the coffee powder into it. The shade varies with your taste, but the general ratio is coffee: water = 1:10. After the coffee powder is poured into it, it should be stirred in the same direction. It usually takes about 30 seconds to lift the kettle. If it is boiled for too long, the coffee will only taste bitter.

● 3. Filtered coffee

The filter paper of Fushan Coffee needs two filters. Lift the kettle and pour it directly into the filter. The coffee grounds will be filtered.

● 4. Pour it into a cup.

At this time, the coffee is ready, this is a cup of pure Fukuyama coffee. Coffee is also fastidious to drink, smell first and then taste, gently sip, when the coffee entrance, do not swallow immediately, please try to cover the whole of the coffee on the tip of the tongue, so that every taste bud of the tongue can receive the message from the coffee, and then swallow the throat. If you think the coffee is too bitter, you can add something.

● 5. Add condensed milk

Because Fukuyama Coffee is a medium-grained Robusta, this coffee itself has a little less aroma than Arabica, so Fukuyama Coffee adds neither sugar nor milk, but more fragrant condensed milk, of course, whatever you like.

● 6. Fukuyama Coffee is ready to eat. In Hainan dialect, drinking coffee is called eating coffee.

Coffee without condensed milk is called "next door Europe" in Hainan. It translates to coffee black, which means black coffee.
