Introduction of taste and flavor in coffee producing areas all over the world

In recent years, India has also begun to plant coffee trees in Arabica, more committed to the cause of coffee production, but there has been no development in the boutique coffee market. The Vietnamese coffee we often hear in our conversation sometimes refers to ice droplets? Vertebrae with midges? Pain Shun λ? Does the head of the headland throw a strange horse to send Huang? Neon? Kill Jian Jing? Fear of ointment?

Africa

Leaf Gate (Yemen)

Famous representative coffee: mocha Matari (Mocha Mattari)

In the early days, coffee in Yemen was mainly exported from the port of Mocha, so the coffee exported from here later took Mocha as the name of coffee.

Yemen's coffee is famous for Mattari and Sanani, of which Matari tastes full-bodied, with strong acidity and cocoa flavor, while Shanani has a more balanced taste and aroma.

The coffee beans produced by Yemen belong to Arabica species. Generally speaking, mocha beans are smaller than ordinary coffee beans and look very different from other coffee beans with large particles. However, although small, it contains distinct features, especially the distinct fruit acid is often used as a flavor enhancement role in mixed coffee, no wonder it is compared to the red wine in coffee, the aroma and sour taste are particularly aftertaste.

The name Mocha can be written in several ways, "Mocca", "Mocha", "Moka", "Mokha". Wait, but they all mean the same thing. Mocha beans are especially obvious in deep roasting because of their unique chocolate flavor, so there is a fancy coffee flavored with chocolate sauce and named after "mocha coffee".

Ethiopia (Ethiopia)

Well-known representative coffee: Mocha Harra, Yirgacheffe

Facing Yemen across the Red Sea, Ethiopia was the first place in the world to find coffee trees in Arabica, growing coffee almost everywhere in the country. Among them, the Eastern Highland Hara (Harra) produces the famous Haramoka, which has a special wine aroma and acidity, and is equivalent to Yemenmoka, which is a high-quality coffee.

Sidamo and Djimmah in the south are also well-known coffee producers, and the coffee produced is slightly different from that produced by Hara, with a refreshing sour taste and drupe aromas.

In Sidamo, there is a community domain name called Yirgacheffe, whose coffee has very charming features, with the aroma of jasmine and lemon, and the special taste as sweet as honey, so it is famous all over the world.

Why is the port of Mocha in Yemen, but the coffee produced in Ethiopia is also called Mocha? That is because previously Ethiopian coffee is also exported from the port of Mocha in Yemen, so it is also named after mocha, and subdivided by different names of origin, such as Mokahara, Mokajima and so on.

So it is also mocha coffee, it may be from Yemen, it may also be from Ethiopia.

Ivory Coast (Cote dwellers / Ivory Coast)

Well-known representative coffee: none

Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa, next to Guinea and Liberia. Ivory Coast is a French free translation of the name, if literally translated by pronunciation is Ivory Coast.

Coffee was grown along the coast along with cocoa and palms to stimulate exports under French rule, and by the 1960s coffee production had increased to make Ivory Coast the third-largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia.

However, in recent years, due to the impact of climate, economy, aging and reduced production of coffee trees, its coffee production has not been prosperous in the past.

Since Ivory Coast is also a major producer of coffee in Africa, why are we not familiar with Ivory Coast coffee?

This is because almost all coffee in Ivory Coast is Robusta, and only a few Arabica coffees are experimental. As mentioned earlier, because of its special taste and characteristics, Robusta coffee is mostly used for purposes such as mixed instant coffee or canned coffee, and is rarely consumed directly in the form of fine coffee. Therefore, it does not often appear in the coffee-producing countries that we often mention.

Kenya (Kenya) famous representative coffee: Kenya AA

Kenya is located in East Africa, right on the equator, with the Indian Ocean to the east, Ethiopia to the north and Tanzania to the south.

Kenyan coffee is characterized by obvious fruit aromas and acidity, with a hint of wine in the full-bodied taste. Kenyan coffee is mostly planted in the southwest and eastern plateau areas, the varieties are Arabica species, and are washed coffee, the common varieties are Bourbon, Typica, Kents, Riuri 11 and other four varieties.

The bright fruit aroma and acidity of Kenyan coffee in shallow roasting is regarded as like fruit tea, which shows its unique flavor. Among them, the well-known Kenyan AA is full of particles and rich in taste, which is well received by the world.

Sanya (Tanzania)

Well-known representative coffee: Kilimanjaro

Tanzania is also located in eastern Africa, to the south of Kenya and to the east by the Indian Ocean, with a coastline as long as 1500 kilometers.

Coffee is not the most important agriculture in Tanzania, it is mostly operated on a small scale, and the rest still exports several staple agricultural products such as corn and cotton.

Coffee is grown on the slopes of the Kilimanjaro volcano near Kenya to the north of Tanzania. About 70% of the coffee is Arabica species and is treated by washing, while the remaining 30% of Robusta species are treated by solarization.

The Clemencaro coffee produced here is generally highly acidic, but slightly weaker than that of Kenya, and its taste is similar to that of Kenya, with a rich texture and a strong sweet aroma.

Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)

Famous representative coffee: Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe, located in southern Africa, is a landlocked country not near the sea, right next to Mozambique. It was only at the beginning of the 20th century that Zimbabwe began to grow coffee, mainly in the eastern highlands, all washed.

Zimbabwe coffee is similar to Kenya with strong acidity and fruity aroma, but unlike Kenya, it has a pepper-like flavor. The best coffee comes from Chipinge.

Malawi (Malawi)

Well-known representative coffee: Malawi

Malawi is a small country in southeastern Africa and a landlocked country not near the sea. most of its coffee is grown in the northern plateau, but the yield is not large.

But although it is not near the sea, you can see on the map that there is a very large lake to the northeast of it. It is Lake Malawi, which is also the natural boundary between Malawi and its neighbors.

Compared with Kenya, Malawi coffee also has considerable sweetness and aroma, while the sour taste is in a different style. If the sour in Kenya is compared to the treble, the sour in Malawi feels like a mid-bass.

Coffee grown in Malawi, which is grown in Arabica and treated with water washing, is the country's ninth largest export, accounting for only about 5% of the total export.

However, in particular, although the export volume is very limited, the mode of production and marketing of its coffee is for local people to set up their own production and marketing companies to be responsible for the production, processing and sale of coffee, rather than the collection and distribution of coffee led by the government in Kenya.

In this independent mode of operation, coffee products in Malawi have always maintained a considerable standard, so it is also one of the favorite coffees of traders.

Central America

Guatemala (Guatemala)

Famous representative coffee: Antigua (Antigua), Vivette Nango (Huehuetenango)

The latitude of Guatemala is about 15 degrees, bordering the Pacific Ocean on the left and the Caribbean Sea on the right. The Sierra Mountains on this side of the Pacific Ocean are the main coffee-growing areas of Guatemala.

Because the mountains are very long and the regional climate changes greatly, it has created the seven major coffee producing areas of the country, each with different flavors and characteristics. Among them, the coffee from Antigua is famous in the world because of its slightly sour, rich glycol and slightly volcanic carbon burning flavor.

The coffee of Guatemala belongs to Arabica, which is treated by washing. In the far northwest, there is a piece of Vivette Nango (Huehuetenango) highland, because the elevation is higher than 5000 feet. Blink? The more you shovel and the more you bow, the more you shovel and bow, the more you shovel and bow. What's wrong with the gun? Torture? Mu Yirong? Arc?

Like other Central American countries, coffee from Arabica is widely grown in Costa Rica. Its coffee is mainly grown in two high areas, one is the high area near the capital San Jose, and the other is the Tarrazu mountains southeast of San Jose.

Because it is also grown at high altitude, Costa Rican coffee also has a strong sour taste, and because the mountain temperature is lower, coffee trees grow more slowly, with a more complex and not monotonous taste.

The coffee produced in Tarasu is also one of the coffee tasters' favorite because of its special flavor of fruit and some chocolate or stone fruit.

Nicaragua (Nicaragua)

Famous representative coffee: Nicaragua (Nicaragua)

Nicaraguan coffee is mainly produced in the central and northern parts of the country, with shade planting as its characteristic, while coffee beans are washed and dried in the sun.

Generally speaking, Nicaraguan coffee is less distinctive, so Nicaraguan beans are often used as mixed coffee or instant coffee.

But high-quality Nicaraguan beans such as Maragogipe (a tree with large coffee beans called elephant beans) are highly rated because they are well-balanced and do not have the distinct acidity that other Central American coffees often have, but have a clear taste and excellent aroma.

This round and soft texture also makes it a unique show in the more moderate evaluation of Guatemalan coffee and is loved by many people.
