Qianjie-Guji washed Hero Coffee

Around 1740, the Dutch discovered in the West Indies that after peeling coffee cherries, the layer of pectin could easily peel off after being soaked in water and fermented. And this is the original washing treatment. Before the Dutch invented the water washing method, people generally used the drip-free sun method, that is, to dry the coffee cherries directly in the outdoor sun. There are many uncontrollable factors in this process. If the weather is humid, the pectin layer is rich in nutrients, which can easily lead to coffee cherry mildew and insects.

Ethiopia has a long tradition of sun treatment. Nowadays, the sun treatment method has become very fine and the water washing method has effectively avoided this problem, so it is very popular all over the world. Especially in Central and South America, there is a strong preference for washing treatment. It is the washing method that creates the impression that Central and South American beans are neat in appearance, good in appearance and clean and smooth in taste.

On the other hand, the water washing method is actually a kind of treatment method which has higher technical requirements. It needs to go through multiple screening, the introduction of relevant equipment, at the same time, the washing process is not unchanged, it will be constantly updated and improved according to local conditions.

In Ethiopia, the introduction of washing treatment can be traced back to the 1970s. At that time, it was the washing method that greatly improved the quality of Ethiopian coffee, highlighted its elegant citrus aroma and broad flavor, and stunned the world.

However, compared with other treatments, washing is still the least interfering method for the flavor of coffee beans. Unlike many special treatments, coffee is fermented in a more special way to increase the aroma of alcohol fermentation. In addition to properly increasing the sour aroma of the coffee, the other flavor characteristics of the water washing method depend on the nature of the coffee bean itself.

Ethiopian water washing champion "hero": delicate lemon and apricot fragrance, which is the original flavor of Ethiopian soil.

A good wash, in fact, is to faithfully record the customs of the producing areas, giving coffee all the good taste. The Water washing Hero, from the Guji producing area of Ethiopia, is a mountain away from the famous Yega Xuefei, and beat Yega Xuefei in this year's competition.

The growth of Hero reached 2150 meters above sea level. In coffee cultivation, farmers will plant legumes in different producing areas and use them as a natural composting material to ensure the organic cultivation of coffee trees. Such a growing environment accumulates rich acidity and fruity aroma for coffee cherries.

Knowledge: the Arabica system was probably first discovered in southern Sudan, but it did not flourish until it spread to Ethiopia.
