Can't miss Xinglong stir-fried coffee

If you travel to Hainan, you can't miss Xinglong Coffee. Returned overseas Chinese not only bring the tradition of drinking coffee and the skill of making and brewing coffee to Hainan Xingxing, but also produce the famous Xinglong coffee.

Xinglong Coffee settled in Xinglong in 1953, shortly after the establishment of Xinglong Farm, in order to achieve the practice of "growing in the short term", that is, using short-term crop income such as coffee, citronella and rice to make up for long-term crop income such as rubber. Xinglong began to introduce coffee from Chengmaifu Mountain.

After a long period of research, it has been found that although the large seed of coffee is high-yielding, its quality and taste is poor; although the taste of the small seed is excellent, its growth environment is plateau climate, the elevation of Xinglong is very low, and planting small seed not only has low yield, but also the life span of the tree is not long. Finally, they began to plant medium-grain coffee on a large scale as the most suitable variety for prosperous cultivation, and the prosperous altitude, latitude and climate provided a good guarantee for the settlement of medium-grain coffee.

At that time, the planting area of coffee was very large, and the whole Xinglong had more than 3000 mu. In order to ensure the quality of coffee beans, coffee beans are cooked and picked. At that time, the workers were too busy, and the students on the farm often came to the plantation for half a day to pick coffee.

Xinglong's stir-frying technology adopts the Southeast Asian method. Xinglong's local coffee is most suitable for this method. In the frying process, we should not only master the heat, but also timely add white sugar, salt and butter. This kind of coffee is particularly fragrant.

"Xinglong coffee is first-class in the world. I have drunk a lot of foreign coffee, but our own coffee tastes good." On February 7, 1960, Premier Zhou Enlai visited Xinglong Farm and greatly appreciated it after drinking Xinglong coffee. A cup of coffee with strong flavor, an amiable prime minister, wrote a good name for Xinglong Coffee.

The flavor of fried coffee is strong, and the taste of coconut milk coffee is unique. Some scenic spots in Xinglong are also fried on the spot, so that tourists can taste the freshest coffee and understand its production process at the same time. However, high-quality coffee and excellent stir-frying technology have failed to really carry forward Xinglong Coffee. Today, this is an eternal pain in the hearts of many Xinglong people.
