Introduction of Asian Coffee Flavor and Coffee producing area name

Coffee production in Asia is second only to Central and South America. Indonesia has always been the largest coffee producer in Asia, but this situation has changed greatly in recent years. With the assistance of the World Bank, Vietnam's production expanded rapidly and officially squeezed out of Indonesia in 1999 to become the largest coffee producer in Asia. However, Vietnam mainly pulls beans, which does not belong to the category of boutique coffee. In 2007, Wannan produced 957000 tons of coffee beans, making it the largest coffee producer in Asia and the second largest coffee producer in the world. Indonesia produced 420000 tons of coffee beans in the same year, ranking second in Asia. India produces 291000 tons of curry beans, making it the third largest producer in Asia. The mellow thickness of Asian coffee is higher than that of Central and South America and Africa, but the sour taste is lower, with slightly sinking, herb, spice and earthy flavor, and the low and stuffy aroma is higher than the rising sour flavor.

Producing areas and characteristics

The texture of Asian coffee beans is dense, extremely thick, sweet and round. Asian beans are mostly washed and semi-washed, so the particle size of raw beans is very uniform.

It is generally known that selected coffee beans are produced in Indonesia, Yemen, India, Vietnam and other countries in Asia.

Yunnan area:

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892. A French missionary brought coffee to Yunnan from abroad and successfully planted it in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. The coffee plants of this batch of coffee seeds are still blooming and bearing fruit in Binchuan County.

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small grain coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. There are many varieties of small-grain coffee, there are differences in taste, some acidity is very light and faint, continuous and spread to the gills, accompanied by a clear sense of balance. Some flowers are mixed with citrus flavor, which is very exaggerated. Some acidity has berry flavor, and the taste is extremely dry. Some are full of malt flavor, feeling very low-key. Classic coffee will not be particularly attractive, all flavors are strong and well balanced. As early as the 1950s, Yunnan small seed coffee was very popular in the international coffee market and was rated as the top grade of coffee.

Yunnan coffee was planted on a large scale in the mid-1950s, with a planting scale of 4000 hectares at one time. By the end of 1997, the planting area of coffee in the province had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the planting area of the province accounts for 70% of the national area, and the output accounts for 83% of the whole country. Yunnan coffee has established the dominant position in China in terms of planting area and coffee bean production.

Indonesia:

Representative coffee: Java, Sumatra manning. Indonesia produces coffee beans mainly in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and other three islands, all of which belong to volcanic topography. It is generally believed that Indonesian coffee beans have a strong aroma and low acidity, with a slight taste of traditional Chinese medicine and soil.

Indonesia (Indonesia)

Famous representative coffee: Java (Java), Sumatra Manning (Sumatra Mandheling)

Indonesia produces coffee beans mainly in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and other three islands, all of which belong to volcanic topography. Due to the favorable climate and soil, Arabica quickly spread to Sumatra in the northwest of Java and Sulawesi, another large island in the northeast. Until today, Robusta is still the main coffee in Indonesia, accounting for 90% of coffee production, distributed in the low-altitude areas of Java and Bali. The elegant Arabica is mainly distributed in the higher elevations of Sulawesi and Java in northern Sumatra, accounting for only about 10% of Indonesia's coffee production, but the reputation of Mantenin, Golden Manning, Lake Lake Tawar, GayoMountain, Ache, Sulawesi, aged Manning and Java Old Brown has made Indonesian coffee famous in the boutique world for decades. Not dragged down by inferior Robusta.

It is generally believed that Indonesian coffee beans have a strong aroma and low acidity, with a slight taste of traditional Chinese medicine and soil. Mandheling, produced in the mountains of Sumatra, is world-famous and rich in texture.

Robusta beans from Java have a unique smell and are often used as a recipe for espresso because they are rich in oil. The coffee produced by Sulawesi is rated as having a special herbal flavor, deep and clean.

In particular, there is a special animal called the civet in the mountains of Indonesia. Because it makes Indonesia produce a kind of coffee that is almost the most expensive in the world-civet coffee.

This kind of cat likes to eat coffee berries, and hard coffee beans are eventually excreted because they are indigestible. During the period of passing through the digestive tract, coffee beans are fermented to produce a unique and complex flavor, which makes many gluttons like this kind of coffee with special aroma. But because the output is very small, so the price is very high, in the hundreds of dollars per pound.

Vietnam:

Representative coffee: Vietnamese coffee. Vietnam is also one of the top coffee producers in the world. At present, the vast majority of coffee trees in Vietnam are planted by Robusta. Because the Arabica coffee trees in Vietnam were destroyed by leaf rust in the mid-19th century, they were all planted in Robsta, which is resistant to leaf rust.

Robusta coffee beans have a unique aroma and bitter taste, and their caffeine content is higher than that of Arabica. Also because the higher proportion of extraction is related to you, it is often used to make instant coffee, canned coffee, or mixed with three-in-one coffee and so on.

India (India)

Famous representative coffee: monsoon Malaba (Monsooned Malabar)

India is a country that mainly drinks tea, the famous Assam black tea, but its coffee production ranks first in the world, and it has both Robusta and Arabica. It is also one of several countries where water washing and sun treatment exist at the same time. As early as 1600 or so, an Indian named Babudan went to Mecca and secretly brought seven coffee seeds back to India from Mocha. They were planted in the southwestern state of Karnataka. The Chandragiri mountains where he practiced started the Indian coffee cultivation industry. In 1699, the Dutch transplanted coffee trees from Malabar, India, to Java, making Indonesian coffee what it is today. Although India is the first country in Asia to grow coffee and its output ranks sixth in the world, it is not common in Japan, Taiwan, or even the United States, but India's Malaba's "waxy" coffee, or Monsooned Coffee, fascinates Europeans, and Italy is the largest buyer of Indian coffee. According to data released by the Indian Coffee Bureau, Italy once again became the largest importer of Indian coffee in 2007, importing a total of 53229.5 tons of Indian raw beans, accounting for 23.87% of India's coffee exports. Italians prefer Indian stout beans to make espresso formula, of which India's Robusta imports 43706 tons and Arabica only 9523.5 tons. In addition, Russia, Germany and Belgium are also big customers of Indian coffee. Indian coffee is not famous for its traditional sour fruit and floral aroma, but is popular in the boutique world with its alternative "pickled" flavor.

Indian coffee is grown mainly in the areas from the Western Gaozhi Mountains in southern India to the Arabian Sea, with coffee sold under the names of Maiso and Malaba.

Monsoon Malaba is a unique kind of coffee in India. Because of the coffee beans exported from the coast of Malaba to Europe at that time, the appearance and taste of the raw beans were changed after being hit by the sea breeze for a long time. And become a taste that Europeans are accustomed to and like.

This later became a special method of handling coffee beans. After the coffee beans were harvested, they were especially placed in the wet monsoon for a few months, so that they turned yellow and white and reduced acidity, that is, the monsoon Monsooned Malabar we bought.
