I don't know how many people always scoff at Yunnan coffee beans, and I don't know how many people go blank when they talk about Yunnan beans. Maybe I had both of these two states, but until I drank this bean, I had a new understanding of Yunnan coffee beans, because it would make people who once had my state feel sorry for Yunnan beans. It turns out that Yunnan beans can also change such a wonderful flavor.

The best growing environment for coffee trees is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunlight, so it is an ideal growing zone between 15 °north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer. The southern part of Yunnan happens to have the above unique geographical and climatic conditions, so Yunnan is also the place where we can be closest to the origin of coffee in China.

What I want to bring you today is coffee from Lancang, Yunnan Province, planted at 1350 meters above sea level, 100% manual red fruit picking, plus fine scaffolding for natural drying.

This batch of coffee comes from Pu'er Lancang County, which belongs to Menglian County, Yunnan Province. It is named after the Lancang River to the east, which has a profound history and developed economy since ancient times. Belongs to the south subtropical summer and wet winter season, 4 quantity, according to charge, 4 distinct seasons. Five or six years crisscross in Lancang County, with more than 2000 peaks above sea level alone. At the same time, it is rich in energy, forest, material and mineral resources, of which the forest coverage rate is .9%, the original 1 state environment is excellent, the topography is complex, and the obvious physiognomy and diverse microclimate caused by low altitude are typical coffee ferns.

This batch of coffee is handled by the Seesaw team, so the Double Fermentation is a special treatment 1 method. Coffee is planted at an altitude of 100-1000, pick the most mature coffee red fruit, change the usual fermentation washing treatment in Yunnan, when advanced fermentation, add cleaning and soak into wet fermentation, enrich the level of coffee flavor through mixed fermentation, coffee flavor integrity and cleanliness, and has a unique fruit. With, tropical fruits are easy to catch sweet, rich in layers, sweet in sipping acid, prominent taste of tropical fruits such as jackfruit and guava, long-lasting taste of tea and wine, balance of clarity and mellow thickness, this unrestrained and delicate taste, let us believe that it will be liked by coffee lovers.

All the beans of the minority are light baking style, especially my dish. I still remember that the minority once said something like this, which impressed me very much: we are not shallow Nordic, nor are we deeply traditional. We only do one thing and give full play to the character of coffee. What a "character". I especially like their expression of the concept of coffee baking, so that each bean can play its moving and impressive side, which is the life that the roaster gives to a bean. of course, it also has a splendor to comfort the hearts of the tasteers.

In fact, with regard to the bottling of Yunnan coffee beans, the minority is not the first. At first, I remember that the bottled cooked beans caused the curiosity of many enthusiasts. Of course, although the bottling cost has increased, it is still beneficial for the preservation of coffee beans. And you can also use this bottle over and over again, if you think it deserves to be remembered, .

Unscrew the bottle cap, you can see that the beans inside are very full, the defect rate of beans is very low, basically pour out more than half of the bottle you choose to bake defective beans, it is almost difficult to find.

This Yunnan bean has relatively strict quality control, because it is sun-treated coffee beans, refined processing, regular turning of the drying shelf in order to ensure the uniform drying of coffee fruit. Finally, the moisture content of this bean is controlled at 10.9%, the density is 889g/L, and the particle size of raw bean is 14-16 mesh. This bean belongs to the Katim variety, which is what we usually call "small grain coffee". Many people will say that Yunnan small grain is not undrunk, nothing special may be the most special thing about it. However, this Yunnan bean I drank definitely has the feeling of subverting my cognition.

First of all, after opening the lid, you can smell a fresh sweet smell similar to honey, faint, but very pleasant. Perhaps in the past, many bean bakers are used to interpreting Yunnan beans into a mellow and balanced flavor, making it less changed and more unable to keep up with people's pursuit of high-quality flavor.

In the process of grinding this bean, I can constantly smell the aroma of the grinding, really amazing to me, very obvious sweet smell, this kind of sweetness is really a little unstoppable. I really want to cook it quickly to see what kind of flavor it will show.

The wet fragrance in the cooking process is also quite seductive, can smell the smell of honey sugar, that is, sweetness runs through all the time, can bring people a sense of happiness. After brewing, the coffee liquid is clear and clean and has a strong desire to drink.

As a whole, I think when I first took the first sip of this cup of coffee, I could feel its delicate and soft sweetness, which followed from the dry fragrance to the wet fragrance to the aftertaste of the entrance. In addition, you can also drink a little bit of fruity and soft acidity, and to the back mellow will highlight, but not strong nor miscellaneous, very comfortable excessive, the overall process is also very hierarchical.

I am very sad that I drank this Yunnan coffee bean, and I am also very happy that I chose to give Yunnan beans a chance to amaze myself. In the past, when talking about Yunnan beans, I can say with confidence that everyone should try the beans grown in their own country. Yunnan beans are still amazing and worthy of recognition under different interpretation styles.
