Front Street-Yejia Xuefei Sun Red Cherry Method Pressed Pot Brewing Introduction

As the oldest and most primitive processing method of raw beans, solarization method is once considered to be the most backward processing method due to many uncontrollable factors in the operation process, which is easy to cause uneven quality. With the development of the times, a variety of ever-changing treatment methods have been slowly derived. Water washing, honey treatment, red wine, raisins, anaerobic, etc. Yejia Xuefei is no exception. In 1972, Ethiopia introduced Central and South American washing technology to improve quality, making its jasmine fragrance and citrus fragrance more fresh and refined, becoming the best quality beans in the world. Since then, water washing has become a popular treatment method.

The unpleasant odor produced by sun-dried beans is mostly caused by defects in the processing process. As long as the processing links are controlled layer by layer, it is not difficult to show a clean and transparent flavor. The traditional solarization method, generally without screening in advance, directly to the bean drying field for drying, beans after drying good artificial screening, the process is relatively rough, so the defect rate is relatively high, often lack of fragrance can be old, very not optimistic.

Knowing the root cause of the disease, Baghi developed a strict screening procedure: before the coffee fruit is exposed to the sun, manually remove the immature green fruit or defective fruit; during the drying process, the second screening is carried out to remove the moldy or damaged fruit; about two weeks, the moisture content of the raw beans is reduced to 12%, and the sugar and essence in the pulp have all penetrated into the coffee beans, and then the shell is removed.(Same as traditional solarization method); After taking the newborn beans, they are tested for density and bean color (same as the second half of the washing method), and finally the defective beans are manually picked out by naked eyes.

After layers of strict control, the quality of raw beans is excellent, washed beans lack of clear, fruity sun flavor, but also perfectly interpreted.

Complete washing:

Use washing and fermentation methods to remove the peel pulp and mucous membrane, using washing method farms must build washing tanks, and can introduce a continuous flow of fresh water. When processing, it is to put the beans into the pool, move back and forth, and use the friction of beans and the power of running water to wash the coffee beans to smooth and clean. After washing, coffee beans are still wrapped in the endocarp at a moisture content of 50%, and must be dried to reduce the moisture content to 12%, otherwise they will continue to mellow and rot. The best treatment is to use sunlight drying, although it takes 1 to 3 weeks, but the flavor is very good and quite popular.

Whether it is sun exposure or washing, it is quite welcome. Qianjie today shares the brewing method of Yejia Sherry Red Cherry Press Pot, so that coffee fans can enjoy delicious coffee anytime and anywhere at home!

Yega Shefi Sun-dried Red Cherry

Production area: Yejia Shefei

Altitude: 1800-2000m

Breed: Native species

Treatment: Solarization

Ratio of coffee powder to water: 1:15

Note: The coffee powder used in the French press is relatively coarse, because the coffee powder used in the French press is relatively in contact with water for a long time, and the coffee powder is too fine, which easily leads to excessive extraction. Also avoid too fine powder, in the filter with powder. Water injection: the water temperature is about 92 degrees, superheated boiling water will lead to excessive coffee extraction, so the taste will be relatively bitter, losing the original flavor of coffee.

Cover the cup and let stand for 4-5 minutes. After 4 minutes, slowly press down the strainer and pour out the coffee.

Flavor: Red berry, citrus, tropical fruit, strawberry

Knowledge development: yejia snow Fei body varieties for the local native species, small particle species, relatively round shape, beans are very small, mostly between 14-15 mesh.
