Introduction to the description and treatment of Grinding degree and Flavor in El Salvador Himalayan Coffee area

The topography here is mainly mountainous and plateau, with many volcanoes. Savanna climate. The plain area belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the mountain area belongs to the subtropical forest climate. The average annual temperature is 25-28 ℃, and the annual precipitation is more than 1800 mm in mountainous areas and about 1000 mm in coastal areas. It is rich in water resources, short and swift rivers and volcanic lakes.

El Salvador's coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports, and it is usually picked in November, December and January-March of the following year. The export of raw beans lasts almost all year round. Coffee is produced in seven of the country's 14 provinces, with the largest number in the northwestern provinces of chalatenango and santa ana. El Salvador produces 100% Arabica coffee, 68% of which is bourbon, which usually grows at an altitude of 1062 Mel 1972 meters. On the other hand, El Salvador has a unique mountain, river and plateau, which provides a suitable environment for the growth of bourbon coffee. At the same time, El Salvador's suitable temperature, abundant precipitation and fertile soil are also indispensable natural conditions for breeding high-quality coffee beans. Salvadoran coffee, like other typical island beans, is well-balanced, soft and good in texture.

Central American countries generally distinguish quality grades by altitude, such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and other countries. Similarly, El Salvador is graded by altitude. At high altitudes, due to the cold climate and slow coffee growth, the density of raw beans will be higher, the hardness will be stronger, the unique acidity of Arabica will be better, and of course the better the quality will be. Therefore, the higher the altitude of coffee growth, the better the flavor, on the contrary, the lower the altitude, the higher the temperature, the faster the growth rate, the lower density, the lower hardness and the worse quality of raw beans.

So much for the introduction of Savaldo, so let's go back to the original topic: what surprised me?

The first El Salvador to drink is washed beans, medium-shallow baked, warm and gentle, smooth entrance, sour and sweet mellow thickness are very regular, do not have too prominent flavor characteristics, so do not leave too much impression. But the flavor of tanning El Salvador becomes very recognizable and amazing. After grinding, the dry aroma gives off a pleasant tropical fruit aroma, followed by steaming, extraction, and until the end, a steady stream of jackfruit aroma. As soon as the extraction is over, I can't wait to take a sip. Strawberries, brown sugar, faint spices, and then two more sips, the creamy taste can be described with an advertising phrase-"silky at the moment." . This country is a small coffee-producing country, which is very suitable for honey treatment and solarization. On the whole, honey treatment and sun treatment have also given a new soul to El Salvador. The long-lasting taste is rich, sweet and sour, chocolate, unique tropical fruit notes, let people remember deeply.

Finally, for the way this coffee is made, I personally recommend hand brewing. Hand flushing can show its unique charm and experience its rich aroma step by step in the process of grinding and extraction. In addition, it can also be extracted by siphon, which shows the same characteristics as Yega Schiffe.
