Qianjie-High quality Coffee beans recommend Costa Rican musicians Series introduction

Qianjie has Costa Rican musician series coffee beans, belonging to Costa Rica's same high-quality production area Tarrazu. Qianjie recommends this coffee because this series of musicians with different processing methods is to distinguish the flavor changes, so that we can experience the different treatment methods of the same producing area and beans. The musician series is a successful attempt. We are also willing to look for and try more coffee with different flavors.

Production area introduction

Costa Rica is located in the isthmus of Central America, and is controlled by Pacific and Atlantic currents and sea breeze at the same time. There are many towering volcanoes up to 2000 meters above sea level. Coffee berries grow slowly in the fertile volcanic ash soil and cool environment at high altitude, giving birth to coffee beans with complete and rich flavor.

Costa Rica is divided into two seasons, the dry season is from December to April, the coffee harvest is from December to April, and the wet (rainy) season is from May to November. In recent years, micro-treatment plants have been established, and since the water consumption is only 5% of that of traditional washing plants, and does not require huge sinks and exposure fields, the investment required is relatively small. The "honey-treated coffee" with low acidity, high complexity and strong sweet flavor has become the target of competition in the coffee industry in recent years.

Coffee was grown in Costa Rica two hundred years ago, first on the slopes of the Poas and Barva volcanoes, now known as the Central Valley. At present, Costa Rica has eight main producing areas: West Valley in the western valley, Central Valley in the central valley, Tarrazu in Tarazu, Tres Rios in Sanhe, Orosi in Europe, Brunca in Brenka, Duli Alba Turrialba and Guanacaste in Guanacaster. Tarrazu is one of the main coffee producers here.

Canet Carnett Manor

Carnett Manor is located at the highest altitude in the Tarazu producing area and is the densest fruit-growing area in Costa Rica. Carnett Manor is mainly to grow passion fruit, the amount of coffee is very rare, only a specific area to grow coffee, take special care. All coffee cherries are picked by hand, only ripe red cherries are harvested, but there is a screening process before processing after harvest to pick beans that are not ripe or too ripe.

The treatment method is honey treatment, which can be regarded as a double fermented honey treatment. The harvested coffee cherries are poured into a large tank, the floating beans need to be removed, and the screened coffee fruits are put on an elevated bed to dry into raisins. Then remove the pulp and peel, retain the pectin and then dry. In the fermentation flavor will be more rich, the flavor level will also be more rich and full.

Knowledge expansion: honey treatment pectin preservation is higher than other honey treatments, in the drying process to constantly turn the coffee cherries to dry evenly, to dry slowly to ensure that the coffee has fermentation treatment, but not so slow that excessive fermentation occurs.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
