Qianjie-introduction to Huang Bourbon half-sun at Chateau San Isabel, Brazil

There is no pink bourbon in Brazil, only yellow bourbon. Today I would like to introduce a yellow bourbon from Minas!

St. Isabel (Santa Izabel) is an award-winning manor located in the south of Minas Gerais, near the mountains near Ouro Fino, with an elevation of only 1200 meters, but with a unique microclimate in the producing area, including the ideal annual temperature and the temperature difference between day and night, the coffee produced has excellent quality and excellent performance. Minas is one of the major boutique coffee production areas, this batch is a very rare round beans (Peaberry) grading batch, a coffee tree has only less than 20% of the round beans, meticulous flavor and full sweetness, impressive.

The estate was bought in 2012 by the FAL Group, which also has another high-quality coffee farm, Monte Verde. After being acquired by the FAL Group, the manor invested more painstaking efforts in the processing equipment and planting production process, and devoted itself to producing higher quality coffee, including, of course, trying to grow new varieties. Their names can be found in the award list of the Excellence Cup year after year, as well as outstanding performance in other local quality competitions (Quality Contest).

Most of the large coffee plantations in Brazil are harvested by machines in order to meet the production efficiency and large quantity. But this manor is different and has a fine processing flow. on the contrary, it insists on harvesting ripe cherry fruits by manual means. After being picked, coffee cherries are carefully picked to remove sundries, then sent to the treatment plant for post-treatment, cleaned and then screened out substandard products, while the qualified products enter the stage of Pulper peeling and pulp removal, after removal, they still retain part of the Mucilage of the flesh outside the sheep skin, and then move to the drying bed (Drying Beds) for treatment. the whole drying site is also equipped with large Covered Patios equipment. If not handled carefully, these raw beans with sheep skin may burst like popcorn.
