Qianjie Coffee-introduction to the treatment of Black Honey in Stonehenge Manor, Costa Rica

The naming rules of most coffee farms in the world may be based on local names or customs. Stonehenge is naturally an example. The boulders in Stonehenge come from the Spanish word Las Piedra, and there is a unique boulder landscape in Costa Rica:

Many boulders were originally buried underground and are traces of life left by native Indians. Some theories even suggest that boulders are related to the Atlantean Empire and aliens.

The Stonehenge Manor, named after the boulder, naturally brings a little bit of the majesty of this mystery and the mysticism of postmodern geometric elements. Stonehenge Manor is located in the Blanca producing area of Costa Rica, and this bean is treated with black honey, which is the most complex and time-consuming and money-consuming method in honey treatment. After the strong fermentation degree and full development of black honey treatment, this bean has extremely strong aromas of peach and covered plate. after the entrance, carambola, blackcurrant, blueberry jam and other flavors appear in turn. Its high sweetness and layering make you taste both delicate and hazy, mysterious and dreamy.

For the raw coffee beans treated with black honey, the pectin retained on the surface of the raw beans is dried and fermented under suitable conditions, showing a black appearance. After the drying is finished, the beans are placed in a cool and dry warehouse to keep the beans. Before the exit, remove the black sheepskin shell and put it into a gunny bag for transportation.

Black honey treatment means that the pectin of coffee fruit is preserved to the maximum extent after the peel is removed and dried and fermented in a cooler environment to slow down the fermentation process and produce more abundant by-products and aroma substances. so as to breed more fragrant taste and flavor. Generally speaking, raw beans treated with black honey have stronger flavors, such as preserved apricots, whisky and even fermented bean curd than "other colors" of honey.
