With the development of the boutique coffee industry, coffee fans now have access to countless individual coffees. There are more than 200 kinds of individual coffee beans from different manors in Qianjie Coffee Line alone. This also makes many coffee fans who are new to coffee do not know how to choose. In fact, coffee beans can be divided into three coffee producing areas, each of which has its own flavor, so the next article Qianjie Coffee will introduce the characteristics of the world's three major coffee producing areas.

Distribution of the three largest coffee producing areas in the world

The three major coffee producing areas mainly refer to Africa, Asia and Latin America. For example, the coffee flavor in Africa is sour. For example, the Ethiopian Yega Sherfield coffee bean in the front street coffee shop is famous for its unique citrus citric acid. The coffee flavor in Asia is famous for its unique herbal flavor and mellow taste. For example, Indonesia Mantenin Coffee is the representative of Africa. The main flavor of coffee beans in Latin America is nuts and cocoa, and the overall flavor is more balanced.

As mentioned above in Qianjie Coffee, these three producing areas all have their flavor representatives, so let's talk about the representative of individual coffee beans with outstanding flavor in these three major coffee producing areas.

Coffee beans from Africa

The flavor of the African region is mainly sour. Qianjie Coffee thinks that nothing can best represent the African coffee region than Ethiopia, where coffee originated, and neighboring Kenya. Although the coffee beans in these two areas are famous for their pleasant acidity, their acids are indeed very different. For example, Ethiopia has always been famous for the citrus citric acid of Yegashifi coffee beans. Kenyan coffee beans are famous for their sour fruit. Next, Qianjie Coffee will introduce the coffee beans from these two producing areas.

Coffee beans from Ethiopia

The most famous coffee producing area in Ethiopia is Yega Xuefei, in which there are many micro-producing areas, and the micro-producing areas are affected by factors such as altitude and microclimate, which makes the coffee beans produced by different cooperatives have a slightly different flavor. Therefore, in the Qianjie coffee shop, there are also a lot of coffee beans from various micro-producing areas of Yega Xuefei that use different treatments to taste for coffee fans.

The origin of this coffee bean comes from the "Red Cherry Project" jointly launched by Ethiopian local coffee farmers and Dutch trader Trabocca. It aims to improve the quality of coffee on small-scale farms and increase the income of farmers. To pick fully ripe coffee fruit, we should not only pick the fruit with high maturity of full red, but also harvest it by hand, but this is only the most basic requirement. There are also corresponding requirements for the treatment of coffee beans.

It became an independent Guotintin Cooperative in 2012 and now has more than 300 smallholder members. At the same time, it is precisely because Guodingding Village is the first independent village area, and many small farmers were also members of the Waka Cooperative, so the technology of producing coffee is not to mention.

After four to six weeks of sun exposure, the workers will scrape off the outer pulp with a machine according to the weather and temperature, and then transport it to addis for storage. Usually, sun-treated beans are stored in the form of shell beans, and they are not shelled until they are exported to ensure the quality of raw beans.

Kenyan coffee producing area

As mentioned above in Qianjie Coffee, Kenyan coffee beans are mainly famous for their unique sour fruit, which is also due to the local development of 72-hour washing treatment, as well as the Kenyan unique sl34,sl28 coffee variety, which are all factors that contribute to the flavor of Kenyan coffee.

Coffee beans from Indonesia

Indonesia Mantenin is famous for its humid climate, so local coffee farmers have issued a wet planing method to deal with coffee beans, which will give coffee beans a unique earthy herbal flavor and taste very mellow. therefore, Mantenin is also loved by coffee fans all over the world, such as Mantenin, the most popular single coffee bean in Qianjie coffee shop. And Qianjie Coffee believes that wet planing is the factor that makes Mantening coffee to the world, because when it comes to Mandy coffee, coffee fans will think of wet planing, which shows that they already complement each other.

According to the test of brewing this latest gold manning coffee in the front street cup, it is found that compared with the previous gold mantenin, it is more of the flavor of baked toast. So it will be a little more mellow in the taste.

And the specification standard of Golden Manning is more than 18 mesh, and there are less than 3 defective beans (300g raw bean samples), which belongs to the highest grade G1, dark green and neat flat beans. After strict screening of Golden Mantenin, Qianjie Coffee not only does not have the unique soil flavor of ordinary Mantenin, but also tastes cleaner and brighter.

Aged mantenin refers to aged Mantenin coffee beans, which age naturally by prolonging the storage time (usually 2-3 years), a process that leads to a decrease in coffee acidity and a change in the color of raw beans. And the storage environment of aged coffee beans must be cool and ventilated to prevent mildew and dampness. Because the storage environment is dark and for a long time, improperly handled old coffee is always difficult to get rid of complex flavors such as mildew or commonly known as sacks or leather.

Coffee beans from Yunnan, China

In fact, Yunnan producing areas have a long history of growing coffee, but it has not been long to enter the boutique coffee market, so Qianjie Coffee believes that Yunnan producing area coffee has great potential for development. therefore, a coffee estate has been set up at the junction of Yunnan Baoshan and Myanmar, specializing in growing Yunnan coffee beans with iron card varieties. Next, Qianjie Coffee will introduce Yunnan coffee beans from Qianjie Coffee Farm.

Qianjie Coffee the difference between Yunnan Huaguoshan coffee beans and Yunnan Xiaoguo beans is that Huaguoshan is a variety of iron pickup, while Yunnan Xiaoguo is Katim, in fact, these two beans can be called small-grained coffee, but because the acid of Tippi card flower fruit is softer and richer, it is specially chosen to distinguish the two varieties of beans in the name of Huaguoshan.

Yunnan small-grain coffee refers to the small-grain coffee cultivated in Yunnan. Coffee is a small evergreen tree of Rubiaceae, native to Africa. At present, small-grain coffee and medium-grain coffee are mainly cultivated as beverage plants. The small-grain coffee cultivated in Yunnan, China traditionally refers to the mixed population of bourbon variety and iron pickup variety.

Small-grain coffee is the most widely cultivated species in the genus Coffee. Because of its strong cold resistance and short-term low temperature resistance, it can grow on mountains 2100 meters above sea level in tropical areas, but it is not resistant to drought; the branches are fragile and not resistant to strong wind; the disease resistance is weak; the fruit is easy to fall off after ripening; after processing, the coffee is mellow and contains low caffeine content.

Country: China

Producing area: Yunnan (Baoshan)

Altitude: 1450-1550m

Variety: Katim

Treatment: red cherry sun treatment

Flavor: caramel, dried fruit, cocoa, dark chocolate, herbs, wood

At present, most of the plants in Yunnan are Katim, which is a hybrid of Kaddura and Robsta, a branch of the bourbon line in the Arabica species. The reason for planting this variety is that Katim has the Robusta gene, so it is better than a single old variety in disease resistance, and the yield is good. Compared with the delicate old variety, the disease resistance is poor and the yield is low. Farmers naturally prefer to plant Katim. So now there has been a Katim wind in Yunnan.

Coffee beans from Latin America

The article in front of the street also mentioned that the flavor of Latin American coffee beans is famous for its balance and has a nutty cocoa flavor. This is because the topography and climate conditions of Latin America have changed greatly, so its coffee flavor is not as extreme as that of Asia and Africa. Instead, it neutralizes their coffee flavor. Among them, the more representative producing areas are Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, and Costa Rica, the founder of the honey treatment method, as well as Colombia. Next, Qianjie Coffee will introduce the coffee bean representatives of these three producing areas.

Coffee beans from Brazil

Brazil mainly grows bourbon varieties of coffee beans, so it also has an excellent sweet taste in the performance of coffee flavor. The next coffee bean is the one that Qianjie thinks best represents the flavor of Brazilian coffee.

Country: Brazil

Producing area: Morgiana

Altitude: 1400-1950

Variety: yellow bourbon

Treatment: half-sun

Flavor: nuts, creamy peanuts, fermented fruit, sucrose

Queen's Manor mainly exports bourbon varieties of boutique coffee. The environmental protection is quite thorough, because the terrain is high, the non-plain terrain, therefore cannot use the machine to do the harvest, the complete manual harvest fruit. And plant low-yield and high-quality bourbon seeds as the essence of high-quality Brazilian coffee. Therefore, Qianjie believes that the coffee of the manor best reflects the high-quality coffee of Brazil.

Costa Rican coffee producing area

The treatment of coffee beans in Costa Rica mainly uses honey treatment, this is because the local coffee farms are on the mountain, it is very inconvenient to send to the coffee processing plant at the foot of the mountain, and the coffee fruit is easy to be dampened along the way. and bean collectors also purchase coffee beans at exploitative prices, so when coffee farmers develop and deal with unique honey-treated coffee beans, they produce and sell their own products and increase profits.

And with the improvement of Costa Rican coffee technology, there are many special honey-treated coffee beans on the market, such as the musician series coffee launched by Costa Rica Carnett Manor in the front street store is very popular with coffee fans.

Colombian coffee producing area

Colombian coffee is the second largest coffee exporter in the world, and it is also the country that exports the most Arabica coffee beans. In Colombia, there are also many coffee beans treated with special treatment, and the flavor expression is also very amazing. Next, let's recommend some special coffee beans in Colombia.

Front Street Coffee Columbia San Jose Manor Coffee beans

Country: Colombia

Producing area: Caldas

Altitude: 1750m

The owner of the San Jose Manor can be said to be the founder of the barrel fermentation process. according to Qianjie, she is the third-generation hostess of the San Jose Manor, because she is committed to promoting Colombian coffee. produced by breaking through and trying to find a different way in the wave of traditional production and modern boutique coffee. On this premise, she had an idea when she was brewing rum with her husband and wondered whether putting raw coffee beans in oak barrels would absorb the oak flavor like the original wine and achieve the effect of barrel brewing.

Under this idea, the hostess Monsalve Botero began to put raw beans into rum barrels of different ages for low-temperature fermentation in 2013, and compared the fermentation flavor produced at different times, through this experiment, the most suitable bucket and fermentation time length were selected. Finally, we successfully found the most suitable combination to achieve a special and satisfactory flavor, so as to produce rum barrel fermented coffee which is different from traditional rum washing.

Front Street Coffee Columbia Flower Moon Night Coffee beans

Country: Colombia

Production area: Huilan (Esteogatine Farm)

Altitude: 1800m

Variety: Kaddura

Treatment: anaerobic solarization

Flavor: strawberry, peach, fermented wine, chocolate, fruit wine

This moonlight coffee bean in Qianjie comes from the anaerobic sun-dried coffee beans developed by Ramirez, the owner of Astorgatin Farm. According to Qianjie, he comes from a coffee-growing family and has been engaged in coffee production since the age of 18. He used to work as a coffee professional in Acevedo, and later had the opportunity to buy this farm called Astorgatin Farm.

And this farm grows Kaddura, our common coffee variety. Kaddura is a natural variety of bourbon, often with refreshing fruit acidity and a hint of sweetness. At the same time, it also sets the tone for Hua Moon Night Coffee. And as early as three years ago, the former landowner of Gatine Farm launched the special treatment program and told Ramirez how to carry out the special treatment project, and Ramirez changed the fermentation process that could not achieve the effect because of his enthusiasm for coffee cultivation.

He put coffee cherries into sealed fermentation barrels and fermented them at low temperature to lengthen the whole fermentation time. With 15-20 days of fermentation, the flavor of coffee has more possibilities. Under the incubation of time, slow drying can make coffee cherries develop the best water activity in this process, so that the flavor development is good. Secondly, the green beans can also be maintained for a longer time in the storage cycle of the season. After fermentation, these coffee fruits are dried in the sun. And this treatment, which Front Street now calls anaerobic solarization.

Front Street Coffee Colombia Rose Valley Coffee Bean

Country: Colombia

Producing area: Tande (Dashu Manor)

Altitude: 1700m

Variety: Kaddura

Treatment method: anaerobic double enzyme washing treatment

Flavor: honey, juicy, strawberry

Rose Valley Coffee comes from the Dashu Manor in Santander, Colombia. Farmer Vargas has been growing coffee on the Dashu Farm for 20 years. In the Dashu Farm, only the fully ripe coffee fruits with bright red appearance are picked, and the defective floating beans are removed by washing, twice anaerobic fermentation and fermentation in a special enzyme group. At the same time, the owner of the manor also pays great attention to the drying process of coffee beans, avoiding excessive temperature during drying and adopting a slow drying method. That is, the dual enzyme anaerobic treatment mentioned in the previous street.

Its process is to remove floating beans by washing, and finally put the processed coffee beans into a closed container, inject carbon dioxide to exhaust oxygen, slow down the decomposition rate of sugar in coffee pectin in an oxygen-free environment, and PH decreases more slowly, prolonging fermentation time, so as to develop a better sweetness and more balanced flavor of coffee.

The above are the coffee beans arranged by Qianjie Coffee House, which can represent the three major coffee producing areas. I hope this article can help coffee fans to better understand the flavor of the relevant coffee producing areas, so as to select coffee beans that suit their own taste.
