A brief introduction to the steps of Qianjie-Brazilian Yellow bourbon Coffee and semi-washing

Brazil, known as the "coffee kingdom", is one of the largest coffee consumers in the world and one of the three largest coffee producers in the world. Among the many kinds of coffee beans, Huang bourbon is of outstanding quality and is highly sought after by people in the boutique coffee industry.

Brazil yellow bourbon

The variety of bourbon has a yellow pericarp, which is not widely planted because it is not resistant to wind and rain, so its yield is low, but its quality is excellent. Huang bourbon has a charming flavor and has been the leader of Huang bourbon in the COE (extraordinary Cup) competition in Brazil over the years.

The three major boutique coffee producing areas in Brazil are Hirado, South Minas and Mojiana. Yellow bourbon comes from the producing area of Syracuse in Brazil, and its quality is the best in the high altitude area of 1100-1300 km above sea level. the coffee beans produced are sweet, mellow and tasteless.

The peel-free sun (Pulped Nature) treatment was used to make coffee beans have a thick sweetness similar to that of honey treatment with better flavor and remarkable sweetness. Jump out of the traditional Brazilian flavor, excellent acidity, with nutty, lemon and fruit aromas, silky and well-balanced palate, thick and long throat, sweet and warm and with hazel fruit flavor, with an amazing taste experience.

With regard to the steps of the semi-washing method, the first step is the same as the washing method. When the fruit turns red and ripens, it is picked by the coffee farmer and then put into the pool to remove the immature coffee berries.

Then remove the silver peel of the ripe coffee berries with a special machine, spread the berries on the ground, dry them and then wet them, or move the red fruits into a sink for fermentation, and then move the pectin-bonded coffee beans to the outdoor bean drying farm to dry.

When the water content reaches 10.5% Mel 12%, the coffee fruit is stored in a special container to ripen, and finally the dried flesh and residual pectin are ground off with a special machine, and the coffee seeds are taken out. These are raw coffee beans that have been semi-washed.

The coffee produced by this method has a sticky feeling, and the mucus will not be removed with fermentation in the tank. Therefore, the coffee produced by this semi-washing method contains the characteristics of both washing and drying.

In this way, the final coffee has good acidity, sweetness, seasoning, and flavor; the disadvantage is that the flavor of the coffee is not as strong as that produced by pure drying or complete washing.

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