World boutique coffee beans: Brazilian cerrade Syrador Serrado coffee beans

The birth of Brazilian Syracuse Serrado Coffee

The birth of Syrador (Syrador, Serrado) Coffee

As early as 30 years ago now, the unknown name, as a desolate mountain, Brazil quietly "Serrado". In Portugal it means savagely. Serrado is now a famous coffee producer. Serrado soil and climate characteristics are inherent, the Japanese concept of modern agriculture and Serrado agricultural technology cooperation, to overcome the harsh natural environment, from everyone has given up coffee cultivation, into a real high-quality harvest. The land at the level of 1000 meters above sea level, flat plateau for large-scale mechanization, unique soil, rich groundwater climate. Everything is ultimately essential for the birth of high-quality coffee. In 2005, Serrado, who grew and harvested high-quality Arabica coffee, "Serrado" (Syrador Serrado Coffee), refers to according to international standards, is officially certified by the Brazilian government.

At present, Brazil's "Serrado Coffee" is synonymous with high-quality coffee, and his name has become a world-famous coffee bean beyond Brazil.

Caccer (Kaseru: Serrado producers Association) set up

CACCER (Kaseru) is the contact of coffee producers in the Serrado region of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Kaseru organizes the coordination of Serrado Coffee growers, Regional Marketing, Serrado Coffee Origin quality Certification (name Serrado Certification), etc., we have issued.

Kaseru was founded in 1992.

Three years later, in 1995, 55 cities, the Serrado region of the state of Minas Gerais, were designated as the first certified coffee producing area of the Brazilian government.

In 1997, officially participated with the company Kaseru banknotes, as the representative of Japan, will supply coffee to Serrado development, we reached today.

The Kaseru establishment, quality assurance has previously been neglected, based on the logistics bar code, commodity exports, can now balance the production history.

In 2003, on the basis of the American (SCAA) Special Coffee Association and the conclusion, the coffee SCAA "taste" type will be promoted to expert consensus, and the exclusion of "taste" from previous evaluations is now key.

Since then, with regard to the assessment of the location at the Serrado Coffee Institute, a certificate has been issued in accordance with the provisions of SCAA Kaseru.

In addition, in 2005, Kaseru's Serrado Coffee Origin quality Certification (name Serrado Certification) was issued taking into account the certificate of origin and the preemptive right of coffee in the designated area of Serrado.

Serrado (Serrado Coffee) is a high-quality brand.

In 2005, due to the first right designated by the Serrado Coffee region in the field of origin certification, coffee met the standard in this area of production, "called Serrado" and claimed to be recognized.

Like wine, coffee producing areas allow only limited quality "identity" for the successful acquisition of world-class coffee regions, and the name "Serrado" is now known.

The "Serrado title" is called and you must pass the certification test and production quality. For production, the conditions for the production of so-called project rules (certification area, production area elevation, identification of varieties, best soil, best agricultural technology, in the guaranteed voluntary participation program) have been met, so that if planted in a designated certification, the farm can accommodate signs of Kaseru certification.

In addition, the quality, status and number of evaluation methods with a score of more than 75 points SCAA. All our coffee is delivered only those high-quality coffee beans.

Serrado field environment

In Serrado, in addition to the temperate climate, irrigation facilities enable enterprises to always maintain a stable production supply of quality.

In addition, in planting, the balance of the entire environment, spreading herbicides, nourishing weeds that are enough to spread chemical fertilizers, daring to fill the land, harvesting weeds rich in humus, the production of coffee trees will be reduced, while the meticulous operation of nature will take the earth-friendly and safe way.

As a result, small animals and earthworm armadillos are often seen on the ground, with the unique characteristics of the Serrado agricultural community.

You can also see that the real estate next to a pig farm and ranch is one of the typical agricultural Serrado landscapes.

So chicken and pork can easily get organic fertilizers for cow manure composting, plus they are all scattered compost fruit cherries and parchment. The edification of these environments, on the ground, makes it a powerful natural organic ecology of Serrado coffee.

Utopian Serrado coffee growing area

I played for a day and the terrain was flat, developing a small shock.

At the same time flowering and irrigation equipment companies will even bring results.

Transfer chemical fertilizer to balance environmental weeds. Coffee is reduced to cover this point.

The Serrado is easy to succeed in composting, and compost is actively planted on the farm.

Cobweb bird's nest: becomes the nest of a coffee tree, but also reduces pesticides that must be picked very carefully during harvest. Birds and spiders who play an important role in cleaning pests.

Jikabachi:Jikabachi is the natural enemy of pests in coffee and coffee plantations is a blessing. Coffee cultivation is the result of natural inhibition of the use of pesticides.

Two ways of harvesting

1 mechanized harvesting

In the harvest, the harvest can reach the labor force of about 150 minutes.

If you are taking harvest coffee cherries ripe long-awaited sister rarely for many days is a mature change, the new stage has no meaning. Be careful not to get rid of beans just ripe persimmons ripe down, leaving less damage caused by the coffee tree harvester vibration.

2 picking coffee beans by hand

Hand-picked ripe coffee beans in coffee treatment Serrado is harvested for its own production.

Drawn by each grain is superior in the sweetness of experienced cherry cultivation, but the quality and popularity of Serrado owns NO.1, which is a rare crop annual agreement that determines a quantitative yield limit.

On the first landing in Japan, and the first flushing in September every year, this Qin ordered ripe beans.

The examination method of Serrado's expression harvest

Specific gravity sorting machine washing formula

Gravity sorting machine washing process of sunken beans (immature + ripe green beans)

The sorting machine in beans floats in the process of washing gravity (the upper vine beans begin to dry their skin).

Filefish hulls and machines grow into ripe beans, eliminating some meat. Now the skin of immature beans screening is tight.

Delete soy bean filefish on this machine. Part with parchment pulp (mud).

The pulp will not be removed from the green bean filish machine (Brazil this is for a second-class immature bean)

Tanks help to take flesh slime. However, environmental pollution (water pollution), so let farmers use less Caccer.

All Serrado coffee [ecological washing] has been carried out.

While the rest of the pulp (slime) stabilizes the first appliance in the removal of water. With the latest mechanical improvements, less pure water can be used.

The wood is stored in stable water and beaten well for at least two weeks.

Air drying of common beans to purify Brazilian natural beans

Green beans are immature, mature beans, even without the separation of rattan dried beans, with the sun (sunlight), and dried in a dryer for about a week.

Traceability

I can explain how to produce a farm.

Coffee beans are born and in Serrado, TOC's Serrado program, which grows and provides agricultural quality information at any time, traceability verifiability (traceable detector).

TOC Program Serrado (CERRAD traceable Origin Coffee Program) is the accumulation of research results to date, their own quality of bean Serado persistence, and the establishment of a system to provide that the buyer needs continuity based on birth and mung bean origin, and then track the planned trajectory of a system to be understood.

Study this system, FUNDACCER "Serrado Coffee Research Institute", and as a strategic business performance, and equipped with a full range of systems for the global coffee market.

Place of origin of quality certification

The bar code area can be authenticated. Bar codes also sew jute bags.
