Guatemala Flower God brand La Flor Belacamona Manor Zelaya family washed bean flavor?

The naming method of Huasheng coffee:

Type 1: technical support provided by Laminita (La Minita Manor) in Costa Rica + La Flor named in Spanish (full name is Antigua La Flor del Caf é). The aroma is floral and caramel.

Type 2: La Follie produced by Pastores Manor + named in French (full name is Antigua La Folie Bella Carmona). The fragrance is flower and fruit.

Guatemala is located in the Central American isthmus, many volcanoes in the formation of mountains and plateaus, the production of high-quality Central American high-altitude very hard coffee beans, the world's ninth largest producer of coffee beans. Guatemala coffee, the main producing areas are Antigua, Huehuetenango, Atitlan, Coban, Fraijanes, San Marcos, Acatenango and other seven major producing areas. When the coffee beans produced in Guatemala, which has seven major coffee producing areas, are all Arabica, they are all located in the highlands of the subtropical climate, with rich and stable rainfall and fertile volcanic ash soil. as a result, all parts of the country have natural environmental conditions that are very suitable for coffee cultivation. Each producing area has a unique flavor, excellent sour taste and fruity lubrication, is one of the top coffee in the world, suitable for single drink. The Antigua producing area is located in the whole area of the Madre plateau in the opographically Mountains that pass through Guatemala. Because of the natural conditions of this region, Antigua has become the most famous producing area in Guatemala.

The year before last, I entered a batch of La Flor Flower God, and its shallow / medium / deep-baked performance was extremely sour. Since that batch, I swore that I would never touch Flower God again. After hearing the famous fame and evaluation of Bella Carmona (Bella Camona), I could not help but give it a little poison to see who won the final victory or defeat of La Flor in the competition for La Follie. La Follie used to be the best coffee bean of Starbucks in 2004. it mainly emphasizes the aroma of coffee, which is characterized by light and elegant fragrance of fruit tea / refreshing taste / bright sour cherry fruit of coffee. The key news is that the batches of Flower God in the domestic area of melon are very large, and the flavors of different batches are not only very different but also quite different, which batch can only be determined by cup test. It is not that the words "Flower God" are delicious, it is really full of mines, to see who is more bad to step on.

The Zelaya family, the owner of the estate, has been famous for producing high-quality Guatemalan coffee for four centuries. Bella Carmona is its brand and has received many awards since it won the first prize at the Guatemala National Fair in 1935. The most important commitment of the Zelaya family is to maintain good coffee quality. Quality control begins with the selection of cultivated varieties and continuous and rigorous supervision during the processing of raw beans to ensure that only the best products can be exported. The Zelaya family is very concerned about the development of ecological sustainability, and the coffee production process is carried out in an ecosystem that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Not only do all coffee have shade, but special emphasis is placed on the development of environmentally friendly washing and treatment plants; the waste water used in the washing process will be led into the sedimentation tank, making the waste in the treatment process rotten and used as fertilizer. Pick ripe red coffee cherries and transport them to a washing station or treatment plant. The coffee fruit is peeled off, fermented in a washing tank, washed and sent to a scaffolding bed to dry in daylight. When the moisture content of the raw bean with shell is reduced to an appropriate proportion, it is carefully bagged and sent to the warehouse to continue aging, until it reaches the best balance point of flavor, it will be shelled and ready for export. The shelling plant is located inside the manor to fully monitor the whole process and ensure the best quality.

With the combination of volcanic soil, balanced rainfall and sunlight, and traditional agricultural methods, the coffee produced has rich flavor, thick texture, clean acidity and a good sense of balance.

Guatemala retains more traditional Typica (Tibica) and Bourbon (bourbon) varieties of Arabica coffee than many other coffee-producing Latin American countries, contributing significantly to the flavor of Guatemala Antigua coffee.

Qianjie recommendation:

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 90 degrees

Degree of grinding: small Fuji 3.5

Cooking methods: the ratio of water to powder is 1:15, 15g powder, the first injection of 25g water, 25 s steaming, the second injection to 120g water cut off, waiting for the powder bed water to half and then water injection, slow water injection until 225g water, extraction time about 2:00

Analysis: using three-stage brewing to clarify the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee. Because V60 has many ribs and the drainage speed is fast, it can prolong the extraction time when the water is cut off.
