Classification and comparison of Flavor characteristics of Coffee Bean varieties in different producing areas in Colombia

The flavor of coffee in Central and South America is soft sour, chocolate and a little nutty. With the popularity of Rosa Coffee, the variety of Rosa Coffee is being studied and grown all over the world. Colombia, as a big country of high-quality coffee, will naturally grow rosy summer coffee. On the other hand, the coffee flavor of each Colombian region has its own characteristics. Let's come to the front street today to talk about the characteristics of coffee in various Colombian producing areas.

Colombian coffee has excellent acidity and unique flavor, high taste grade and excellent texture. It has been loved by coffee lovers all over the world in recent years. At the same time, Qianjie thinks that Colombian coffee is not only delicious but also has a beautiful name. Such as: Colombian Rose Valley, Colombian Flower meeting, Colombian Cherry Blossom and so on. In the early coffee industry, coffee was simply divided into two series. The "soft" pie represented by Brazilian coffee had soft beans, weak acidity and soft taste, and its flavor mainly depended on Brazilian hilly red soil and slightly lower altitude. The "hard" pie represented by Colombian coffee beans, because Colombia is mostly in a mountain black soil environment, Colombian coffee beans are famous for their balance, especially in the Huilan and Narinho producing areas, with sweet fruit flavor. The palate is charming, soft and sweet, just right. Coffee beans in Colombia are basically washed.

When it comes to coffee flavor, it is not the environment in which coffee is grown, but when it comes to volcanoes, it may be reminiscent of Guatemala. What Qianjie wants to say is: in fact, there is fire in Shandong soil not only in Guatemala, but also in many producing countries. Colombia is the only country in South America that has both the Pacific coast and the Caribbean coast, and the best producing areas in Colombia are almost all volcanic soil. Speaking of the Colombian volcano, we have to mention the two highest quality coffee producing areas in Colombia, HUILA and NARINO in the south, which have two famous volcanoes in Colombia, Nevado del huila in the province of HUILA, and Nevado del Galers in the province of NARINO. Volcanic ash is rich in minerals and can make the soil more fertile. Huilan Volcano has continued to erupt in recent years. Qianjie believes that this is a happy thing for farmers in Huilan Province. In 2009 and 2010, Huilan Province was able to produce "SCAA coffee beans of the year", in part, thanks to the new supplement of volcanic ash to the soil.

The main coffee producing areas in Colombia are: Cauca, Whelan, Santander, Nalinglong, Tolima, Caldas and so on.

Coffee producing area of Santander Province, Colombia

Santander, Santander province

Coffee trees are environmentally demanding, while Santander grows a lot of typica and shade coffee, most of which are certified by the Rainforest Alliance. Santander province is located in northern Colombia, west of Magdalenaho, planting about 1400-1600 meters above sea level, covering an area of 30537 square kilometers. Santander, a very important but rarely mentioned province in Santander, is actually the first province in Colombia to start growing coffee and now accounts for about 5 per cent of Colombia's coffee production. Qianjie coffee has passed the cup test, and the coffee beans in this area are famous for their strong taste, long aftertaste and unique vegetation and fresh flavor.

Colombian Rose Valley Coffee Bean treatment Colombian coffee beans are mainly washed, and other treatments are extended on the basis of washing. Columbia Rose Valley coffee beans are treated by special anaerobic treatment, which is popular in recent years. The defective coffee beans are removed by washing. Finally, the treated coffee beans are put into a closed container and injected with carbon dioxide to exhaust oxygen. The decomposition rate of sugar in coffee pectin is slowed down in an oxygen-free environment, and PH decreases more slowly, prolonging the fermentation time. In order to develop a better sweetness and more balanced flavor of coffee.

Huilan Huila

When it comes to the producing area of Huilan, Qianjie thinks of the rations in Qianjie coffee, because it is the most representative flavor coffee in Colombia. Huilan Province, located in the southern part of the Central Mountains in southern Colombia, is one of the major coffee growing areas, accounting for 12% of Colombia's total coffee production. It is the most famous boutique coffee producing area in the country. This area is a hilly land surrounded by mountains, planted more than 1500 meters above sea level, where the most important rivers in Colombia meet, bringing abundant water resources and moisture. Located in southwestern Colombia, the names of small areas have become brand names and circulated because of the famous coffee plantations in the Huilan area. Qianjie coffee has passed the cup test, and the coffee in Huilan area has a strong flavor of nuts, chocolate and caramel.

The rosy summer coffee beans that Qianjie bought this time are made from a mixture of Rosa, Kaddura and Kaduai. When you see this, some friends will wonder if this bean is still a single coffee bean. Single coffee beans refer to coffee beans grown in a single (same) coffee producing area / estate, not a single variety of coffee beans, so this rose summer blend coffee beans belong to single coffee beans.

Qianjie food bean Huilan coffee is washed, the washed coffee beans can reflect the characteristics of Colombian Huilan coffee to the maximum extent, and Colombian flower rose summer coffee is also treated by water washing treatment. The process is: coffee farmers first pour the picked coffee berries into a large tank, the immature inferior beans will surface, and the ripe and full fruits will sink to the bottom of the water, and the defective beans (fruits) floating on the surface will be removed. Then use the pulp sieving machine to remove the outer skin and pulp of the coffee fruit, when the coffee beans are still attached to a layer of slippery pectin. Put the coffee beans with pectin in the fermentation tank for 16 hours and 36 hours, during which the microbes will decompose the pectin. After the fermentation is completed, a large amount of water is used to remove the pectin residue from the coffee beans. Finally, the washed coffee beans are dried in the sun. The water washing method has both soft and strong acidity, suitable mellow, sweet and spicy.

Cauca of Cauca Province

Cauca province, located in the southwest of Colombia, accounts for 8% of Colombia's total coffee production. Is the Colombian coffee origin certification area, the average altitude of 1758 meters, the highest altitude can rise to 2100 meters, Cauca province is 80% mountainous, the biggest difference in climate with other producing areas is the relatively large temperature difference, the day-night temperature difference is 11 ℃, and the average temperature during the day is 18 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in high-quality coffee. The low temperature at night and the relatively higher altitude slow down the growth rhythm of coffee, so that coffee beans can more fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits. Qianjie believes that it is precisely because this high-altitude planting environment has contributed to the better acidity and special sweetness of Coca-Cola.

The coffee bean variety introduced by Qianjie Coffee is Castillo, a coffee variety currently promoted in Colombia, which was developed in 2005 by the Colombian Coffee Research Institute to enhance plant disease resistance. And according to Qianjie, Kastiyou is the result of five generations of cross breeding between Katim and Kaddura, while Katim is the result of a natural hybrid between Arabica and Robusta, with tall plants and resistance to leaf rust.

Kaddura is the result of natural mutation of bourbon species, the plant is short, the yield is higher than that of tin pickup and bourbon, it inherits the high quality flavor of bourbon, the plant spacing is small, and the plants per unit area are denser. But it is also susceptible to leaf rust. The coffee beans derived from the hybrid of these two varieties also inherit Kaddura's high-quality flavor and are as resistant to leaf rust as Katim varieties, so they are widely popularized and planted.

Treatment of Cherry Blossom Coffee beans in Columbia Paradise Manor

Colombian coffee is mainly washed, while the special treatment is extended on the basis of washing treatment. Colombian coffee with special treatment is very popular with coffee fans, and this Colombian Paradise Manor cherry blossom coffee beans are treated by anaerobic sun treatment. this treatment uses a stainless steel container (which does not absorb the previous coffee bean flavor) to place the coffee fruit to make the flavor cleaner. Fermentation in a closed environment, various factors are easier to control, each treatment of coffee beans tend to be more consistent, and the aromatic substances are not easy to volatilize. Fermentation in an oxygen-free environment, the flavor is more round, easy to have cheese, cream aroma.

Diego Samuel, the owner of Paradise Manor, specializes in special treatment as the selling point of the estate. This cherry coffee bean shows a very special flavor through anaerobic treatment, which is similar to the aroma of wormwood, basil and chamomile. This is a flavor that is difficult to appear in other coffee beans and is well worth a taste.

Qianjie coffee brewing Colombian coffee parameters suggest: filter cup: Hario V60 # 01 water temperature: 91 ℃ powder: 15g powder: water ratio: 1:15 grind: medium fine grinding / fine sugar size (20 sieve pass rate 80%)

When brewing, three-stage water injection can be used for extraction, thus giving the coffee a richer sense of hierarchy. First inject 30 grams of water to wet the coffee powder completely and steam it for 30 seconds, then the small flow slowly circulates into the second section of water to 125 grams for segments, the water level in the filter cup drops to the point where the powder bed is about to be filtered, and then the injection can be stopped when the water in the third stage is injected to 225 grams, and the filter cup can be removed after the water in the filter cup drips completely to the bottom of the sharing pot, and the total extraction time is 2 minutes.

For coffee brewing, Qianjie recommends using freshly roasted coffee beans for brewing, so that you can maximize the rich flavor of coffee. The coffee beans shipped in Qianjie are all roasted within 5 days, because Qianjie is well aware that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Qianjie knows very well that the flavor of coffee in different producing areas will be different, so Qianjie will get a few or even a dozen coffee beans from the same producing country or the same large producing area, so that more coffee friends can taste and compare them. There are more than a dozen individual coffees from Ethiopia alone, and there are 8 kinds of rations beans from different producing countries in Qianjie, which are the most representative coffee in each producing country, and the performance-to-price ratio is very high! It is very worthwhile for you to start from here, and then to individual products, these can completely satisfy the curiosity and love of coffee fans!
