Introduction to Flavor treatment of Brazilian Coffee Variety producing area

Brazilian coffee, as a major coffee producer in the world, I believe everyone has heard of this country's coffee, even if they don't know much about coffee. Brazil is located in the tropics, with a warm and humid climate and plenty of sunshine and moisture. It is more suitable for coffee growth, which is why Brazil's manufacturing industry is growing faster and stronger than other places.

Legend has it that in 1727, an army officer, Pacita, went to French Gaiana to mediate the war between France and the Netherlands. The governor of French Gaiana fell in love with the officer and presented bourbon seeds as a pledge. Later, the officer resigned to plant in Brazil, which later led to a coffee-growing boom.

Because of its low altitude, the sour and fruity coffee produced in Brazil is not prominent, but it can bring better mellow thickness, sweetness and chocolate flavor, which is more accepted by most people because it is not dominated by Africa. Because the output is large and the price is not high, it is later widely used as one of the mixed beans of espresso in coffee shops.

The varieties of coffee grown in Brazil are Arabica and Robusta, which are mainly red bourbon, yellow bourbon and Kaduai. Brazilian coffee is divided into five grades: extremely supple, slightly supple, unpalatable, iodine choking and strong iodine.

Treatment mode

According to the humid climate, Brazilian coffee farms are mainly treated by sun, half-sun and water washing to show the best regional flavor, which is extremely rare in the whole world.

Before 1990, the whole country of Brazil basically used the method of solarization. Because of the unstable climate, the products regained moisture in case of rain, odor, mildew and other problems. After 1990, Brazil developed a method of half-sun treatment according to the characteristics of dry climate. After the pulp of coffee was removed, the shell beans covered with pectin were exposed for one to three days, and then dried by machine to 12% water content, thus shortening the working time.

Of course, the sun method is not weakening, mainly based on local humidity conditions, in principle, high humidity water washing method, low humidity to use the sun, or half-sun.
