Colombia is an important coffee producing country in the world, geographically across North and South America, with rich landforms, numerous volcanoes, fertile land and abundant Rain Water, which is an ideal environment for coffee growing. and because the natural planting landform has also created the reputation of Colombian coffee in the world, similarly, the coffee produced in Huilan, Colombia is also synonymous with Colombian coffee. In Colombia, there are three Codiera mountains running north and south, right into the Andes. Huilan-HUILA is located in the middle of the East Kodiera Mountains, adjacent to the Magdalena River Basin, leaning on mountains and water. This superior geographical location and climatic conditions make Huilan cymbidium heart and outstanding grace. Almost all the Colombian coffee winners on SCAA come from this region and surrounding area, and Whelan is best known for teaming up with Kaddura and bourbon mixed beans in 2009 and 2010 to win the SCAA Coffee of the year title in 2009 and 10, won by Cauca Valley in 2011, and so far only Colombia has a four-game winning streak, while Whelan has fourth in second place.

Malawi AA coffee beans

Author: coffee Bean time: August 19, 2015 Classification: African Review

Mzuzu is the provincial capital of northern Malawi and the third most populous city in Malawi.

Almost the whole country of Malawi is high in the mountains, so there is a significant vertical difference in climate in most areas, which is the highland climate in the tropical dry and wet season. Generally speaking, the temperature in the alpine plain is very mild and stable, but the temperature in winter can be as low as 4 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, the temperature in the basin is muggy, which can be 39 degrees Celsius at its hottest, and the annual rainfall varies according to the geographical environment, ranging from 600mm to 3000mm. The rainy season usually begins from November to May, while the rainfall from May to November is very low. Because of its plateau, Malawi is rarely threatened by hurricanes, floods and so on.

The idea of blending coffee beans

Author: coffee bean time: August 12, 2015 category: espresso review

Espresso, a strong-tasting type of coffee, is brewed with extremely hot but non-boiling hot water under high pressure to grind it into a very fine coffee powder. It was invented and developed in Italy and began in the early 20th century, but until the mid-1940s, it was a drink made separately through vapor pressure.

At the same time, it is not wrong for Espresso to be regarded as the soul of coffee. Fancy coffee as we know it is mostly made by mixing milk and other ingredients with Espresso as the base.

When we have known coffee for a long time, we will think that Espresso as a type of coffee exists, since it has a comprehensive and rich taste, can coffee lovers mix it as their favorite taste?

I think so. There are two ways of matching performance: living and proficiency. There is no discussion about the pros and cons, we only study their performance.

Life, need to have a very thorough understanding of coffee beans, and need to understand coffee roasting, whether the different combinations of coffee beans are 1: 1 greater than 2?

Such a combination needs different combinations to reduce or integrate the characteristics of each other, this is the purpose of life, roasted coffee will be very stable, the product of Espresso will be quite stable.

Familiar with spelling, I think this method is more in line with the actual situation, ensuring that coffee products have different characteristics every day, and what kind of taste you want can be combined like grasping traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, this is also a way for cafes to enrich the Espresso product line in each period of time.

On matching, in fact, do not need too much theory, only according to their own ideas to match, before production to do a good debugging, fully able to make a distinctive Espresso.

Palmyra La Esmeralda Palmyra RFA, Panamanian Emerald Manor

Author: coffee bean time: August 12, 2015 category: Panamanian coffee bean review

The Emerald Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda) is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain, and the area around Boquete is scenic. There are many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Ca?as Verdes on the left side of the river, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke! Take a look at her brilliant record.
