Introduction of Costa Rican boutique coffee beans

The natural treatment of French ska is quite laborious. Hand-harvested high-sugar cherries are first placed in an African viaduct in the sun for about 10 days, and then placed in a plastic cloth-covered greenhouse to create more direct heat and continue to dry until the water content reaches 11.5%. The slow drying process allows raw beans to develop more natural sweetness from within, but it also requires more careful care and precise calculation of the number of turns. In the end, the red cherries turn black, giving off the aroma of fruitcake, black sugar and even sherry, and it's done.

There are two kinds of sun treatments in Lajas, which are treated by the times in the process.

Black Pearl (Perla Negra): sun-treated, dried in an elevated bed, turned normally

Black Soul (Alma Negra): tanned, dried in an elevated bed, turned only a few times a day

"Black Soul" has less turning times and higher degree of fermentation than "Black Pearl", but it is also more likely to fail. Under the careful treatment of Lajas, this "Black Soul" has become the best of sun-dried beans with rich flavor, thick and round taste and long tail. With Lajas different treatment of raw beans, showing different flavors, compared with each other, you can definitely have a special experience.

Bourbon: juxtaposed with Tibica as an ancient and excellent variety. Some botanists even believe that Bourbon is a variant of the early Tibika transplanted to Yemen, where the bean shape changed from a thin tip to a round body. It was not until 1715 that France transplanted Mocha round beans from Yemen to the island of Bourbon on the east coast of Africa, and it was not until 1715 that it received the name round bourbon. Bourbon, which spread to Brazil and Central and South America in 1727, is also round beans. In addition, the British transplant of Yemeni mocha to St. Helena Island in 1732 was also a round bean. interestingly, it did not pass through Bourbon Island, but it was named Green Top Bourbon. It can be seen that the industry thinks that all the world's bourbon beans come from Bourbon Island is a big misunderstanding. It is important to recognize that there are many round bourbon beans that spread directly from Yemen without passing through the island of bourbon. In 181○, some of the round beans on Bourbon Island mutated into pointed beans, also known as the "pointed body of bourbon." its caffeine content was only half that of ordinary coffee, and its output was low, weak, and extremely rare.

With the exception of Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica, the mutants or mixed-race varieties cultivated or found in Central and South America, India and East Africa are mainly Tibica and bourbon, and the genetic complexity is far lower than that of Ethiopia. this is the main reason for the weak physique and poor disease resistance of Arabica outside Ethiopia.

In addition, the biggest thing that bourbon and Tibica have in common is that shade trees must be "protected" to help block the sun. These two ancient varieties, such as unshaded trees, will not be conducive to growth and flavor development.
