Finca los Cascabeles means Ling Dang in Spanish, so it is also called "Little Bell Manor". And its flavor is also like a "little bell", with smart sweetness and light flower fragrance.

Introduction to the information story of Xiaolingjie Manor:

It seems logical that the smallest coffee-growing country in Central America can produce micro-batches of coffee, but historically, most coffee in El Salvador has been mixed and sold to processing plants without much differentiation and separation.

The rise of boutique coffee in El Salvador has inspired many producers to distinguish between individual coffee varieties and try to classify and treat them to attract buyers to get higher prices, but it is still difficult for small growers to obtain these resources.

Xiaolingjie Manor covers an area of about 5 Manzana, with varieties of coffee trees such as Pakamara, Pacas, Rosa and so on, with an annual output of S20-25 piculs (1 kilogram = 100KG >). Farmers only pick ripe fresh coffee fruits, peel them on the day of picking, ferment for 14-16 hours, and let Jin dry for 8-10 days after cleaning.

Introduction of Pacamara coffee bean varieties:

Pacamara, a new hybrid born in El Salvador in 1958, is a cross between bourbon Pacas (Pacas) and iron card elephant bean (Maragogype). It has the advantages of both, but it is better than blue! Pure and soft, mellow and smooth, acidity lively, full flavor, long finish, amazing.

Pacamara stunned people on COE in El Salvador in 2005. In the top ten, Pakamara bean seed occupies the second, fifth, sixth and seventh place!

In 2007, the Pacamara breed won the COE championships of Guatemala and El Salvador. Since then, Pakamara has been out of control on the road of winning the award, has occupied the forefront of the list of major events for a long time, and is known as a rookie variety as famous as Rosa in the world.

On COE in Guatemala alone, Pakamara won the title in seven of those 10 years in 2008 / 2017.

Due to the unnatural performance of Pacamara on the field, in 2017, the BOP (Best of Panama) international competition group decided to compete as a separate group.

However, Rao still has some disadvantages: Pacamara has high requirements for soil and water, climate, environment and altitude, and its yield is not high and its resistance to leaf rust is low, so its planting popularization rate is not high.

Today, although Pacamara is no longer particularly rare, it is still not a very common bean in the market. In particular, Pakamara is best produced in Guatemala and El Salvador, with a large number of international pursuers, so it is even more rare for those who can reach the country.

Introduction to the treatment method:

Washing (Washed Process)

In view of the disadvantages of the traditional solarization method, the water washing method comes along with it. First, most of the pulp of the harvested fruit is separated from the coffee beans by a peeling machine, then directed to a clean tank, soaked in water for fermentation to completely remove the residual pulp layer, and then dried in the sun or by machine, reducing the water content to 12%. As the water washing method has first removed the pulp, so in the drying process, will not worry about mildew, moth-eaten problems like the sun method.

(↑ peeling machine to remove pulp) (↑ soaking in water to ferment) (↑ paving and drying)

The flavor of sun-dried beans is rich and full, and the layered feeling is very distinct and diverse, while water-washed beans have a very clean and refreshing taste, with obvious acidity, and different treatments make coffee beans have a distinctive aroma.

Baking suggestions / Analysis:

The variety of this coffee is giant bean [Pacamara] with relatively large granules and high density, and the newly produced kidney beans have high moisture content. The heat absorption is relatively slow in the baking process, and the Mena reaction process is also relatively fast. The yellowing point is about 5 minutes. In the first baking, you can try to lower the bean temperature slightly, for example, the bean temperature is 200 degrees, and the firepower is also relatively increased. In the baking process, gradually adjust the firepower as needed: adjust the firepower after the beans enter the yellowing point to prolong the dehydration time, so that the giant beans can be fully dehydrated. Before an explosion after dehydration, you can properly maintain medium heat or slightly increase the firepower, accelerate the Mena reaction time, and ensure the pressure before the explosion; the precursor of an explosion needs to adjust the firepower properly to avoid bean watch burns. Under this method of operation, the dehydration time of coffee is relatively prolonged, with a heating rate of 6-8 degrees every 30 seconds, but it can also maintain a normal explosion between 8 and a half minutes and 9 and a half minutes, preserving more flower and fruit aroma and keeping clean and bright acidity. It is usually recommended to drop beans between the dense back section of an explosion and the end of an explosion, and bake about moderately.

Cooking analysis:

Today, we introduce the common method of making Pacamara coffee in front street: V60 three-stage water injection method.

Extract by stages, pour all the cooking water into three stages.

Suitable for light, medium and medium roasted coffee beans

Use filter cup V60 cup

Increasing the steaming time or water cut-off times can improve the rich taste of the coffee.

Segmented extraction method of three-stage water injection

Advantages: it is richer than the one-knife flow, and can clarify the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee. The method is to increase the amount of water injection 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.

Disadvantages: there will be relatively high requirements for the flow rate and flow rate of water.

Qianjie [suggestion of Pacamara Coffee hand punching parameters]

Brewing with V60 filter cup can improve the layering of hand flavor and make it richer and cleaner to drink; the bright aroma of Pacamara variety can be fully displayed.

15g powder, water temperature 89-90 degrees, grinding BG 5R (64% pass rate of Chinese standard 20 sieve), water powder ratio close to 1:15-16

Technique: 27g water steaming, steaming time for 30s. The hot water in the hand flushing pot draws a circle clockwise with the center of the filter cup in the middle of the filter cup, starts the time when brewing, injects water to 27g, then stops the injection and waits for 30 seconds to inject water for the first time.

When the first water injection is the same as before, the speed can be slowed down slightly, speed up a little when you go around the outer circle, cut off the water at about 1:15 seconds, and then inject water again when the liquid level drops 1 inch 3. The second water injection is concentrated on the central water injection. The water flow should not rush to the place where the coffee powder is connected with the filter paper, so as not to produce channel effect. Finish the extraction at about 2:05 seconds, and the longer the time is, the longer the extraction can be done. The astringent and rough taste will increase.

Segment: 30-125-230g
