Qianjie-Costa Rica-Beethoven coffee brewing sharing

The coffee trees planted in Costa Rica are all Arabica coffee trees, and the raw beans are green and large particles on the whole, so the quality of coffee basically belongs to superior coffee. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Costa Rican government laid down legislation: all coffee farms or plantations located in Costa Rica can only grow Arabica coffee (Arabica). In addition, coffee farmers will prune coffee trees all the year round. To keep them at a height of 2 meters for easy picking, and Robusta became a "contraband" in the country.

The high-altitude drop of coffee planting creates a favorable growth environment for the growth of local coffee trees. The local coffee is light and sweet and pleasant, and the excellent Costa Rican coffee is called SHB. SHB is an index of extremely hard beans above 1500 meters above sea level. Generally, the higher the altitude, the better the coffee bean, and the stronger the coffee flavor. Costa Rican SHG coffee is usually full of particles, clear flavor, bright acidity and ideal consistency, with a nutty, floral taffy flavor, sweet and charming, with an attractive flavor.

Finca Canet is located in the Tarazu producing area (Tarrazu), the highest altitude region in Costa Rica, which is the most intensive area for fruit cultivation in Costa Rica. The owners of the manor mainly grow passion fruits, but the amount of coffee is quite rare. They only grow coffee in a specific area and take special care to pick only ripe red cherry fruits. Costa Rica's geographical environment makes a large temperature difference between day and night. For coffee cultivation, this has great benefits, but also highlights the unique characteristics of different coffee beans.

Earlier, Qianjie had just launched a new series of Costa Rican musicians-Beethoven and Bach. The two coffees are single beans, so Qianjie will brew them by hand. The first choice is the V60 filter cup, because the length of the ribs is conducive to the extraction of coffee, with segmented manual extraction to avoid the problem of insufficient extraction.

As the first choice of fine coffee, V60 filter cup can adjust parameters and techniques according to different conditions, and has high plasticity. Qianjie believes that there is no definition as to which cooking method is the best. Each cooking method has different flavors and characteristics. Just choose it according to your preferences.

Knowledge expansion: "Finca Canet" is a small 5-hectare estate in the town of San Marcos in Tarrazu, owned by three brothers, the Robles brothers Leo and Elianand Melvin, who have worked together for more than 10 years and share a small water treatment plant (Beneficio).
