The bean we are talking about today is origin coffee, a well-known British baking brand. We should also know about its small achievements through the contestants' use of beans. It has 14000 fans on its official ins, a coffee brand that led the trend of boutique coffee in the UK in the early days, including direct purchase of origin, bean roasting and coffee teaching.

The baking performance of origin coffee is also closely related to the achievements of many baristas in the UK, so it is precisely because of this that origin coffee is becoming more and more popular and more and more friends around the world begin to know and know origin coffee.

These are origin coffee's past achievements, and Joshua Tarlo, the most recent winner of the 2018 British barista contest, won the Colombian roses baked with origin coffee.

About the champion's daily life, you can also follow him through ins. Oh, um, he's a pretty interesting person, ha.

Having said so much, in fact, origin coffee is much more than that. They also hold cup tests regularly. 90% of coffee beans are purchased directly from the country of origin, and they are also practitioners of fair trade in coffee beans. They will pay more than 50% fair price. At the same time, origin coffee visits farmers or factory representatives at least once a year, their footprints throughout El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, Brazil and so on. They will listen attentively to farmers, workers and their families, and work together with partners to work on the practice of sustainable environmental and social development.

On origin coffee's official website, you can see information about their stores in the UK and online stores, and a batch of bean lists are updated from time to time. In fact, this is also the wonderful thing about buying individual coffee, that is, it is also scarce and expectant, which is the reason why there are some changes in the bean list we see every time we go to the store.

Today, I would like to introduce to you a washed bean from Ecuador baked by origin coffee. In fact, many friends are not very familiar with Ecuadorian coffee beans. Ecuador, which is located in the middle of Colombia and Peru in South America, also has a long history of coffee cultivation. Ecuador is a grower of Arabica beans, and has become the four most famous beans in the Caribbean with Mount Lanshan, Dominica and Cuba. Among them, Loha region is in the south of Ecuador, close to the Andes, is one of the highest coffee growing areas in the world, with an average elevation of 1450-2000 meters, and is also an important coffee export city in the country. The coffee beans here are mainly iron pickups, and most of the treatments are washed. In Ecuador, the natural planting is mainly shaded. The local high altitude, climate change and soil quality are very suitable for coffee growth. There are many excellent conditions for growing coffee.

The Ecuadorian coffee baked by origin coffee today is made from Marco Leon palacios. The beans are mainly Kaddura and Pacamara, and the beans are washed.

The packaging belongs to the exhaust valve packaging, the packaging image is a little abstract but also has its own characteristics, in fact, this kind of black packaging will be unforgettable. The label is also relatively simple, marking the treatment method, the flavor description of the beans, as well as the specific origin and cooking suggestions.

Open the package, the beans inside are also more round, the particle size is also more uniform, I quite like this round particles, ha. Opening the bag will give off a faint aroma of tobacco, a little special description, ha, all right.

I will not take special notes on the cooking strategy of this bean, just do it the way I normally like it, and the water temperature is about 90 ℃.

Weighing about 16 beans, according to the 1:14 powder ratio to cook, but as I choose this KINTO metal filter and add a filter paper way, so the whole will form an immersion extraction, general tail of coffee liquid I do not want directly, so that there will be bad flavor brewed out, it is recommended that the time be controlled at about 2 minutes and a half-3 minutes.

After grinding, this bean has a flavor that is very unforgettable, that is, it will make me feel the smell of black sugar, very sweet, in fact, black sugar itself still has some baking smell, so the whole dry fragrance of this bean is very special. Let us also put aside the previous understanding of washed beans, the sour smell has become looming.

After cooking, you will feel that the bean is very sour, the sweetness is super clear, with a pleasant and elegant balance and sweetness, and this mellow thickness is also super good, which does not seem to be like the mellowness brought by washing beans. It has a sweet aftertaste of flowers and fruit, mellow but not dull, a little different from the bitterness we routinely feel, with both flower-like aroma and mellow taste.
