Uganda Coffee with Low Acidity Flavor Description Variety Characteristics Fine Coffee Bean Taste Introduction

The cultivation of coffee in Uganda is all small-scale family operation. The livelihood of 25% of the population is closely related to coffee production. About 500000 farms grow coffee, but mainly Robster. Robster accounts for 90% of coffee production, and the remaining 1 is Arabica coffee. Arabica and Live Buster are harvested from October to February of the following year. The main sales areas and quality grades of Ugandan coffee are: Bujisu Bugisu AA (accounting for only 4% of the total national production), Bujisu Bugisu A, Vago Wugar A (all of the above belong to water washing treatment), and a small amount of sun-dried bean beads Drugar. Bugisu Bugisu AA. Among them, AA represents the grade of coffee and represents the highest grade in the country. Bugisu Bugisu grows on the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. The palate is thick and low in acidity, with a unique taste of raw papaya, which is very different from other East African coffee, closer to Java coffee in Indonesia.

Uganda leads Africa in coffee production, accounting for more than 70% of its total exports. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 2.5 million bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. It is mainly exported to the European Union, with Germany, Italy and other countries as the largest coffee buyers.

Java, which belongs to Indonesia, is the fourth largest island in the country, and the capital Jakarta is located on the northwest coast of Java. In addition, java is the name of a computer language, and because Java is rich in the famous Java coffee, the computer language takes Java as its name and the steaming Java coffee as its icon.

Java coffee beans are famous for their early Java coffee, which refers to Arabica coffee formerly grown on the island of Java. It has a strong aroma, low acidity, taste lubrication, mixed with mocha coffee, the resulting "Java mocha mixed coffee" was once popular and became synonymous with top coffee.

At that time, Java coffee sold to Europe was a very special kind of coffee. At that time, it was shipped to Europe and the United States by sailboat, and the distance was long and the speed was slow, so it took a lot of time to transport. In this case, the coffee seems to have undergone a special fermentation and has a very unique taste.

Later, when the ship replaced the sailboat, due to the shortened delivery time, people drank relatively fresh coffee beans. But people who are used to drinking Chen beans are not used to the fresh taste, so they desperately pursue old Java coffee, so that the Indonesian government and some businessmen deliberately store fresh beans in warehouses for one or two years and then sell them to consumers. In fact, compared with fresh beans, the acidity of aged Java beans is close to zero, but the flavor is more intense. Because of the long storage time, the increase in cost and the limited quantity, Java has always been a hot item in the coffee market. In the 1880s, 0 merchants deliberately tampered with some fresh Guatemalan or Venezuelan beans to imitate aged Java for high prices. It is intolerable that 0 merchants dye coffee beans to make them look more like old Java, but there is no doubt that the dyed chemicals are certainly toxic.

Java produces only a small amount of Arabica beans, most of which were imported from Africa after the rust disaster. This kind of coffee has a strong bitter taste after roasting, but its aroma is extremely light. Although it has low acidity and delicate taste, it is rarely used for direct drinking. It is often used to mix mixed coffee or to make instant coffee.
