Coffee from El Salvador. Cloud Manor. Pacas. Honey treatment

□ El Salvador, the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America, has been growing coffee since 1740 according to relevant literature. The land area of growing coffee accounts for about 8% of the country, and Dazhi is divided into five main producing areas, namely Apaneca, Central Belt, Chichontepec, Tecapa & Cacahuatique Mountain Range, which are roughly distributed in the alpine slopes or plateau areas covered with volcanic ash above 1200 meters above sea level, most of which are planted in shade (planting Shade Grown under trees). The advantages of this method are that coffee beans can mature uniformly, honey mucus content increases and weight is high. Sweet polyphenols are more likely to form, making the main ingredients of coffee beans fully formed. For coffee trees with too much sunshine, the edges of the leaves will be rolled up, causing water loss, which is not conducive to photosynthesis, reduce carbon dioxide absorption, and reduce sugar. Saguo coffee fruits are harvested only once a year, mostly from November to February of the following year. More than 60% of the varieties are bourbon strains. It is especially worth mentioning that Saguo is the most important country for growing Pacas and Pacamara. In addition, the coffee grading system in Saudi Arabia is basically divided into three grades according to the altitude of planting: lowland C.S. (500murm 900m), highland H.G. (900m Murray 1200m), extremely highland S.H.G. (1200m Murray -).

How to flush Salvadoran coffee beans?

As for the way of brewing, hand brewing and siphon brewing are the best. When grinding beans, you can smell the flowers and fruit, the sweetness is obvious.

According to our experience, the main differences of Salvadoran coffee beans before cooking are the baking degree and altitude, and the baking date.

In principle, the temperature of deep baking can be lower, and the shallower the temperature of baking can be higher.

For example, shallow baked beans, longer time, rough grinding, the beans themselves are sour, and if you like bitter or sour, you can try it at a higher temperature. Of course, those aromatic lipids do give off more aroma when the temperature is high, but sometimes it is accompanied by the destruction of certain flavors.

Of course, the cooking temperature is not too fixed, which can be determined according to your personal taste or the degree of baking of the beans.

El Salvador coffee beans are commonly used: three-stage style

Three-stage water injection method

To inject a section of water into three stages.

Suitable for light, medium and medium roasted coffee beans

Use filter cup V60

Increase the steaming time or water cut-off times to improve the rich taste of the coffee.

Degree of grinding-small Fuji 3.5, sugar size

Segmented extraction method of three-stage water injection

The layers are richer, and the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee can be clearly defined. The practice is to increase the amount of water each time after steaming, usually when the coffee liquid is about to drop to the surface of the powder layer, and use small, medium and large water flow to do three-stage extraction.

El Salvador coffee beans hand brewing parameters reference:

Use V60 filter cup, 16 grams powder 32 grams of water steaming for 30 seconds, 89-90 degrees water temperature extraction, 1:15, medium and fine grinding small Fuji 3.5, the second water injection to 140ml cut off, wait for water drop and then slowly water injection, uniform speed, the water level should not be too high, again water injection to 220ml stop, extraction time 2:15 seconds-unique almond plum flavor and chocolate taste, we can fine-tune according to their own taste.
