Qianjie-Ecuadorian Coffee introduction

Ecuador is prone to such subtle changes, and minor climate changes can have a huge impact on farmland, whether due to elevation and the equator, or to the jungles in the east and the oceans in the west. Where fog is often seen in the morning and afternoon sun, it is sometimes shrouded in fog all day and cannot be dry even in a drying factory. In some cases, the temperature and exposure can become too high for coffee farms. In order to grow coffee of the same quality as in previous years, coffee farmers must pay more time.

The coffee-growing land of Ecuador is located in the western hills of the Andes south of Guayaquil and in the hills of the coastal province of Manabi. The low altitude area of Manabi, which is 500-700 meters above sea level, is the largest area of production in Arabica, producing about 50% of the country's. Some Robusta varieties, used for soluble (instant) coffee, are grown in northern Ecuador.

Most Ecuadorian coffee is grown on small farms with an area of 1 to 10 hectares, about half of the coffee land is grown separately, while the rest is grown on cocoa, citrus fruits, bananas and mangoes.

Ecuador's coffee is mainly treated by water washing, which can produce coffee with a cleaner taste.

Selecting → to remove pulp → fermenting → washing → drying → shelling

First, add a lot of water to the coffee cherry, rinse away the immature fruits and impurities floating on the surface, select beans, and then use a peeling machine to remove the peel and pulp. Then put it into the fermentation tank to ferment for 18 hours for 36 hours, make the fermentation bacteria dissolve the pectin on the surface of coffee cherries, wash it with clean water, dry it for 1-3 weeks, then dry it with a machine, and use a sheller to remove endocarp, peel, seed shell and silver film, which is quite cumbersome.
