Qianjie-A brief introduction to the varieties and treatment of Brazilian coffee

Brazil is the number one coffee producer in the world, with full grains, mild aroma and soy nature, moderate sour and bitter taste, smooth taste, is the representative of neutral coffee, individual taste or mixed with other coffee beans are an excellent choice.

Brazil is also constantly experimenting with boutique tree species, whether it is the familiar yellow bourbon, yellow Cadura, Mondonovo, or the internationally popular summer roses, or various experimental varieties, are planted in Brazil. At the same time, Brazil also continues to study all kinds of anaerobic coffee treatment methods, and farmers even improve the quality of coffee through various cup quality testing competitions.

As a coffee variety, yellow bourbon has been cultivated for nearly 90 years, but we can see from its origin, that is, its patrilineal and matrilineal varieties. In the 1850s, Brazil became the world's leading coffee producer, relying mainly on Tibica, which was first grown in Brazil in the 1720s. Exports of Tibika fell because of its limited production, when a Brazilian traveled to the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar in order to obtain seeds from the red bourbon variety. By the 1870s, red bourbon had become the most common variety in many coffee shops in Brazil.

And in 1871, something strange happened. A variety has been born in the city of Botucatu, and the fruit is yellow, which is unprecedented in Brazil and has no record. The yellow Tibica variety was called Yello Botucatu at that time, but the yield of this variety was not high. But many farmers began to grow this variety because they were curious about the color of the fruit it produced. It is worth noting that some researchers believe that yellow bourbon is a natural variant of red bourbon.

Although coffee is diverse, Brazilian coffee is suitable for the taste of the public. For example, coffee produced in the northern coastal areas has a typical iodine flavor and is exported to North America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Another kind of coffee that is interesting and worth looking for is washed Bahia. This kind of coffee is not easy to find because Brazil is the world's largest consumer of coffee after the United States, and many of the best coffee can only be found in its domestic market. In Brazil, the largest producer is Robbins. This kind of coffee is sold in the supermarket. Brazil's Robucht coffee, sold under the name Conillon, accounts for 15 per cent of total production.

Old bourbon coffee is grown on some estates in the Serrado district of MinasGreais in southeastern Brazil. These estates, such as Caping Blanco (CapinBranco) and Vista Allegre (VistaAllegre), grow old varieties of bourbon coffee on the market.

In the half-sun, they all go through the process of removing the skin and part of the gum from the coffee fruit by a pulp separator. In Brazil, the name "Pulped Natural" is more common, which is also a method of drying coffee with part of the pulp attached to it. In most cases, half-sun exposure is closer to yellow honey. Other South American coffee producers are more likely to call it honey treatment.

Knowledge: the more colloid, the darker the color of the beans, the stronger and stronger sweetness and taste you can feel.
