Qianjie-introduction of Costa Rican diamond yellow honey

Costa Rica ranks third from the bottom in terms of land area in China and the United States, but because the country attaches great importance to the development of the coffee industry, Costa Rica has coffee planting and processing skills that can not be surpassed by all the major producing countries in the world.

And nothing is more commendable than the honey treatment that it created. (for more information, please see this push Coffee treatment Class (half-sun treatment Pupled-Natual& honey treatment Honey)

(three treatments of yellow honey, red honey and black honey)

What is honey treatment, is to remove the peel, let the golden pectin peel assist on the coffee beans, continue to control the honey treatment fermentation time and other factors, make the coffee flavor more unique, at the same time, it can also make the coffee have a very good sweetness. like honey color and taste.

Honey treatment, improved half-sun treatment from Brazil, is popular in coffee-producing countries in Central and South America. Its characteristic is to let the beans fully absorb the fruity and sugar essence of the coffee pectin layer in the process of processing, which tastes like sugar like honey, like a kiss on the partner's mouth.

Costa Rica's honey processing is very exquisite and has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. So I have been thinking about finding a boutique bean that can conquer me: it should have the gentle and supple balance of Costa Rican coffee, if the taste is as sweet as sauce, and there should be a touch of fermented acid at the same time. The middle section fully demonstrates the unique nutty flavor of Costa Rican beans, and in order to show a good mellow thickness, it is best to finish with elegant black tea.

La Lajas Manor is located in the central valley with the longest history of coffee cultivation in Costa Rica, 1500 meters above sea level and fertile soil near volcanoes. It has a history of more than 80 years. It is one of the first estates in Costa Rica to systematically study honey processing technology.

The processing technology of diamond yellow honey is very fine: after removing the peel of coffee, move the shelled beans to the African scaffolding and place them in the sun for 2 to 3 days, turning every 2 hours. Then put the beans on the cement floor in the shade shed and spread them into 15~20cm thickness to dry. Every 2 hours during the day, cover the beans with plastic sheeting and ferment for 2 hours, and turn the beans after fermentation to ensure that the beans placed on the bottom can breathe fresh air and repeat. At night, the beans are piled into mountains and covered with thick black plastic sheeting. 10-15 days later, when the moisture of the beans dropped to 11%, the beans were bagged but not sealed, put them in the warehouse, and then sealed with GrainPro and plastic bags after the coffee fruit cooled.

Knowledge: Costa Rica enacted legislation in 1989 to prohibit the domestic cultivation of Robusta, and then began to restrict and ban the variety of cartimor.
