Although Colombia is a well-known coffee producer, it may not get good coffee, because most of the high-quality coffee beans (specialty coffee) are exported. After all, the consumption power is different, and the consumption power of many countries is much higher than that of Colombia. At first glance, this logic is probably as absurd as Ding Taifeng's branch in New York.

Colombian Coffee (COLOMBIA)

Colombia produces about 12% of the world's second-largest coffee beans, although the output is not as good as that of Brazil, but the coffee beans are of good quality and mostly belong to high altitude areas. After wet processing, the coffee beans are mellow and thick, sweet and sour, and strong. There is a peculiar sweet potato skin flavor, which is a good taste in coffee. It is often used to increase the aroma of other coffees. because of its rich aroma, it is very suitable for both individual consumption and synthesis.

The highest grade product is SUPREMO, which has the average taste of sweet, bitter and sour in acid. The three main varieties produced in the Central Mountains of central Colombia have a rich, delicate taste with an average rich sour taste.

Colombia is the standard bean of coffee, its taste is the average of all kinds of coffee, so the general coffee to distinguish between sweet, bitter, spicy and mellow, are compared with Colombia as the standard.

Colombia is collecting water to wash Arabica coffee beans. It has a balanced flavor, proper acidity, good taste and relatively low baking difficulty.

Here are some Colombian coffee beans:

1. St. Augustine, Colombia

This is a good coffee grown at high altitude (about 1700 meters above sea level) and 100% Tibica old trees. The planting process completely follows the traditional Colombian way. After pure water washing and drying in the natural sun, no electric drying equipment is used, making the flavor clean, mellow, light baked with elegant aroma similar to Caribbean beans, very soft and balanced. The baking tolerance is large. Very shallow baking to medium-deep baking all show different styles.

two。 Emerald Mountain of Colombia

This is a high-end Colombian coffee famous in Japan, with a very soft and palatable flavor, with a refreshing, clean grass aroma (light roasting) and a taste similar to flower and fruit tea (medium roasting). Medium and shallow baking degree is fresh and clean, acidity is obvious, but taste is medium.

3. Columbia Snow Peak

This is a famous coffee that is extremely rare and carefully processed using a traditional manual grinding process, and is often considered to be one of the best coffee produced in Colombia in the boutique coffee industry. The flavor is very quiet and balanced.

It has good fruit aroma, beautiful acidity under light baking, thick palate under medium and deep baking and a charming chocolate finish. The very shallow roasting degree is fresh and clean, the acidity is obvious, but the taste is weak, and the medium-deep roasting degree can show the thickest taste and sweetness of this coffee.

Because Colombian coffee beans and Blue Mountain coffee beans both belong to the Mild family of coffee beans, although they should be produced, good Colombian coffee is not inferior to Blue Mountain coffee.

The significance of cup test: measure the score of the cup to make a sound for the quality of coffee

In a broad sense, Cupping is a way to judge the quality of coffee. From the point of view of the commercial market, cup test is professional and scientific, and it is a set of standards and systems. The purpose is to let coffee industry or buyers know the quality of coffee clearly before deciding whether to purchase it or not. Although it is professional, cup testing is by no means an exclusive coffee activity, nor is it exclusive to the field of boutique coffee. On the contrary, cup testing is a tool for producers to improve coffee quality, an indicator for coffee manufacturers and buyers to monitor coffee quality, and a way for coffee lovers to learn to evaluate coffee quality in an objective way, express coffee taste and aroma, and interpret changes in the flavor of beans, just like drinking red wine. ?

Therefore, the test scores of coffee cups have different meanings for all sectors of the coffee industry, such as producers, traders, distributors, bean bakers, cup testers, and even consumers.
