Brief introduction of Qianjie-Brazilian Red bourbon Coffee and semi-washing treatment

Tell me briefly what bourbon is. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon before 1789. Bourbon, the second species caused by the Typica mutation, is the oldest coffee variety in existence, and the green fruit appears bright red when it is ripe.

After the red bourbon general coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the color change of the coffee fruit is: green > turn yellowish > turn slightly orange > turn mature red > turn more ripe dark red, so some people also call it [red bourbon], in fact, red bourbon, that is, what we call bourbon species. Bourbon planted at high altitude usually has a better aroma, while the acid is brighter and even tastes like red wine.

Generally speaking, bourbon is a coffee tree that belongs to a branch of Arabica species, generally bearing red fruit, called red bourbon, in addition to yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, yellow bourbon relatively low yield, but better quality.

Semi-washing method

Some coffee producing areas are dry and lack of water all the year round, and semi-washing is invented in this way, which is a combination of sun and water washing.

As with the water washing method, after flotation to remove branches, leaves, gravel and other impurities, remove the pericarp and part of the pectin layer, wash it with water, and then put it in the sun.

Treatment process: flotation-peeling-cleaning-solarization

Flavor

The semi-washing method had the least influence on the quality, and the sour taste of coffee was lower than that of washed beans and higher than that of sun-washed beans; the sweet taste was lower than that of honey treatment, but the cleanliness was better than that of honey treatment, and the flavor was between honey treatment and water washing.

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