Is bourbon Arabica coffee beans? Bourbon coffee is bitter? what are the characteristics of hand flushing and tasting?

Generally speaking, at this baking level (depending on the color, such as the second burst or the second burst of dense beans, medium and deep baking), both beans show obvious sweetness, low acidity, moderate taste of Brazilian beans, and low tone. It's not as light and clean as African beans, but it's a little longer. Compared with the two, yellow sweet tastes more moderate, mellow and thicker than yellow bourbon.

Although many people say that although the output of Brazilian beans is huge, the quality is very average, and it is only suitable for making canned beans and commercial beans, in recent years, Brazilians have paid more and more attention to the cultivation of high-quality beans, and the high-quality yellow bourbon has emerged as the times require. In the cup test competition in recent years, Huang bourbon has also made very remarkable achievements.

In short, if you are a fan and you have a passion for heavy-flavored coffee, then yellow bourbon will be a good choice for you.

The joy and curiosity of Huang bourbon and Huang Tian, who come from Qianjie Coffee in Guangzhou, are difficult to restrain, so they don't think it's past 8 o'clock in the evening, so they have a cup test that seems more "serious". 80 degrees water temperature, 15 grams of powder, French grinding powder fineness, 150ml water is famous for its sweet taste, very suitable for use in Italian coffee blending, can increase the sweetness and rhyme of coffee.

In the face of this "yellow" wind, I also joined in the fun, so I got some raw beans from Guangzhou Qianjie coffee to try something fresh. On the last night of the National Day holiday, the long-awaited "yellow" wind finally arrived in Beijing into early autumn, and sooner or later it has been able to feel the coolness. At the same time, a "yellow" wind from Brazil is also blowing quietly. Recently, yellow bourbon coffee from Brazil has been sold in several places.

Bourbon is actually a variety of coffee, a kind of Arabica coffee beans. The word "bourbon" comes from the local name, which is an overseas province of France, an island in the Indian Ocean, hence the name bourbon coffee. Today, the name of the island is no longer "bourbon". It has been renamed Niliuwan Island, while the name of coffee is still in use today.

Yellow bourbon, as its name, the color of the coffee fruit is golden, looks very gratifying, this is also an important Brazilian boutique coffee

Introduction to Bourbon Manor:

Fazenda Rainha is owned by the famous and respectable coffee family Carvalho Dias family. The four estates owned by Carvalho Dias have won awards every year since the first Brazilian COE Competition in 1999, winning more than 12 awards in the past seven years, and even arranged for the champion, 9th, 11th and so on in 2004, many large and small estates in Brazil. After years of hoping to be shortlisted and difficult to win, the family's manor has taken away many awards in successive years. Even the Queen Manor Fazenda Rainfa bought by Osher enjoys a brilliant record: 2000 runner-up, 2001 second runner-up, 2005 29th place, and so far, Queen's Manor has won three awards.

The Carvalho Dias family is also a founding member of the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association. The insistence on coffee quality and the maintenance of the environment are obvious to all. In the family farm, the use of natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydropower, self-sufficient electricity demand (another award-winning member of the family is named Falls Manor after this waterfall) Construction of churches, classrooms, nurseries, medical stations, maintenance of primitive forests of native animals and plants, and continuous afforestation. In the case of the Queen's Manor, the environmental protection is quite thorough. Because of the high terrain and non-plain terrain, it is impossible to use machines to harvest, and the fruits can be harvested completely by hand. And plant low-yield and high-quality bourbon species, as the essence of high-quality Brazilian coffee on behalf of the manor!

Fazenda Rainha (Queen's Manor) belongs to the Carvalho Dias family, and the estate has been around for more than 116 years. Located in the high mountain area of Sao Paulo near the Minas border, 1200 to 1400 meters above sea level, the annual rainfall is more than 1800 mm, but it will not cause torrential rain, and the average annual temperature is only 19 ℃. Therefore, the growth of bean fruit is slightly slower, but the texture density is enough, although the yield is less, but the aroma and flavor is not ordinary Brazilian plateau beans. This manor is dominated by bourbon species, and even has bourbon old species for more than 110years. Apart from planting bourbon, the delicacy and care of her treatment is another key to excellent quality:

The peeling and Meat handling system of Queen's Manor (Coffee processing system):

The ripe cherry fruit is picked on the cloth bag by hand to avoid touching the ground. The coffee fruit harvested on the same day must be sent to the treatment plant to which the manor belongs for half-sun treatment (Pulped Natural). The coffee fruit is picked by hand and surrounded by cloth. This is to avoid the earthy taste and any improper fermentation flavor. When the harvested coffee fruit arrives at the processing site, wash the coffee fruit immediately: wash the coffee fruit clean. The unqualified or dried fruits (b ó ia beans) were screened out according to the size partition of the bean body, and the qualified beans were screened, and the peeling action continued (using the pulper machine).

After the bourbon has removed the pulp, the coffee fruit still has a part of the pulp sticky layer (mucilage) in the sheepskin shell. At this time, the coffee fruit with the sticky layer is placed on the terrace to dry, so that the moisture content is reduced to about 20%. At this stage, the coffee fruit absorbs its own starch, but it does not have the disadvantage of full-day drying and unable to control the flavor of the drying process. Because these remaining sticky starch ingredients (starches) will have a special sense of sweetness, but will not lose control into off-fruit taste or moldy taste.

After that, it is sent to the dryer to dry the rear section, and then the water content is treated to 11% and then transported to storage for static treatment. Before export, it is shelled and graded. This section of Pulped Natural half-sun method is one of the main reasons for the stable flavor of Queen's Manor. Of course, insisting on using bourbon seed is the reason that her flavor enjoys a very high reputation!
