Iron pickup card comparison | the flavor of Paradise Bird, Yunnan Huaguo Mountain, Alida, Blue Mountain?

If the variety of coffee is divided by biology, it can be divided into Arabica (Arabica), Robusta (Robusta) and Liberica (Liberica). The main varieties of drinking in the world are Arabica and Robusta. Generally speaking, Arabica is mainly used in single or boutique coffee. From the perspective of coffee culture or genetics, bourbon and Tibika are the two most important branches of Arabica coffee.

Typica: the most classic high-quality Arabica species, which is derived from many commercial improvements at present. It has excellent taste and is recognized as a boutique coffee variety, but its yield is very low and it is vulnerable to rust, so more manpower management is needed. Tieka Coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of the iron pickup is red copper, which is called red top coffee.

[comparison of treatment methods]

Bird of Paradise: the original three-stage washing method, 3 times 24-hour washing process, can achieve the complete removal of the pulp, and then dry in the natural sun.

Huaguo Mountain and Blue Mountain: washing the harvested berries by peeling machine to separate most of the pulp from the coffee beans, then guide the shelled beans to a clean sink, soak in water and ferment to completely remove the residual pulp layer. Through washing, unripe beans and defective beans are selected because of buoyancy, and the fermentation process is easier to control, so the flavor is not mixed like sun beans, but shows obvious acidity, complexity and cleaner characteristics in the cup.

Arida: when the most ripe coffee fruit is picked by hand, the pectin is naturally high in sugar, and then refined in the sun and purified by low temperature Resting for 5 months, so that the flavor of coffee can be more balanced and full.

[comparison of baking degree]

Birds of Paradise:

Put the furnace temperature to 200 degrees Celsius, set the throttle to stew for 1 minute, adjust the firepower to 160 degrees, keep the throttle unchanged, adjust the firepower to 160 degrees, drop to 115 degrees, bake to 5: 35 ", the temperature is 152 degrees, the bean table turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, dehydration is completed, throttle tune 4. In the 9th minute, ugly Hu wrinkles and black markings appear on the bean table, and the smell of toast obviously changes to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. at this time, listen clearly to the sound of an explosion point, to 8: 40 "start an explosion, small firepower remains the same, the throttle is fully open 5 (the firepower should be very careful, not so small as to be free of cracking sound) 40 degrees, 191.3 degrees when the pot.

Huaguo Mountain:

Enter the beans at 200 degrees, then fire the small throttle to speed up the dehydration, and so on after the dehydration stage is over, open the stroke door and medium heat so that Maillard's reaction time is not too hasty, and it will be released in 3 minutes. Temperature recovery point: 1 minute 32 °c, 92.5 °c; yellowing point: 5 min 40 °c; first explosion: 8 minutes 59 seconds, 188.0 °c, development 3 minutes; furnace: 12 minutes 39 °C, 188.0 °C

Blue Mountain:

Put the furnace temperature to 170 degrees Celsius, adjust the firepower to 140 degrees after opening the throttle for 1 minute, keep the throttle unchanged, bake to 5 degrees Celsius, 39 degrees 10 ", the temperature is 153 degrees, the bean surface turns yellow, the smell of grass completely disappears, dehydration is completed, the firepower is adjusted to 115 degrees, and the throttle changes 4 degrees. In the 8th & # 39th minute, ugly wrinkles and black markings appear on the bean surface, and the smell of toast obviously changes to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to explosion. at this time, listen clearly to the sound of an explosion point, and start to explode at 8 degrees 39 ". Adjust the firepower to 90 degrees, the throttle is fully open (adjust the firepower to be very careful, not to be so small as to be free of bursting sound), and put the pot at 201.3 degrees.

Alida:

Enter the pot at 170 degrees Celsius, adjust the firepower to 140 degrees after opening the throttle for 30 seconds, and adjust the firepower to 140 degrees at the return point of 39 degrees Celsius. At this time, the bean watch turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, dehydration is completed, the firepower is adjusted to 110 degrees, and the throttle is adjusted to 4 degrees. At 8'45, ugly wrinkles and black markings appear on the bean surface, and the smell of toast obviously changes to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. at this time, listen carefully to the sound of the explosion point, to 9: 07 "start the explosion, adjust the firepower to 90 degrees, adjust the throttle to 4 (the firepower should be very careful, not so small as to be free of cracking sound), 1: 45" after the explosion, 190 degrees into the pot.
