A brief introduction to the characteristics and treatment of Qianjie-Brazilian Coffee

Friends who are familiar with Brazilian coffee must know that Brazil not only has high-quality high-quality coffee, but also an indispensable basic bean in many blended coffees. The most important feature of Brazilian coffee taste is peace, so that people do not have to have too much burden on bitter and sour taste, smooth taste, suitable for matching with all kinds of coffee. The gentleness of Brazilian coffee is also closely related to the conditions of Brazilian coffee.

Unlike most of the world's coffee grown in the mountains, most of Brazil's coffee is grown in the plains. Although the plains of Brazil are low above sea level (also 600-900m). But the area is wide, and it is located in the temperate zone, and the temperature is suitable, so it is also suitable for coffee growth. So Brazil has adopted a strategy of winning by quantity.

For this reason, Brazilian coffee does not have the hardness and strong sour taste of high-altitude coffee, and the beans themselves are soft, so most Brazilian commercial beans are easy to bake and taste softer.

The ancestor of honey-treated coffee

When it comes to Brazilian coffee, another thing I have to say is that half-sun treatment in Brazil also has a lot to do with all kinds of popular honey treatments. Half-sun was born in 1990 and was created by the coffee-producing country of Brazil. Because Brazil is located in South America, lack of water resources and humid climate, drying efficiency is inefficient. Therefore, in the case of sun washing is not feasible, created a way to plane the peel of coffee and quickly improve the drying efficiency.

Half-sun treatment is a compromise between sun treatment and water washing, which aims to produce coffee with cleaner flavor and better taste with less water than water washing, but because Brazilian coffee is processed in large batches, so farmers simply peel off the peel, retain part of the pulp (pectin), and finally get solarization.

Although Brazil's way of handling pectin is simple and rough, 50% of the pectin remains, and if it is to be treated with honey, the Brazilian half-sun treatment is barely up to the standard of "yellow honey".

Knowledge: half-sun treatment, its flavor and taste are cleaner than the sun method, but also have a good taste.
