Colombia Na Linglong Coffee Bean Flavor Characteristics Brand Taste Treatment Introduction

German imports account for 25 per cent of Colombia's total exports, reflecting the country's excellent quality. The coffee grade is divided into top grade (Supremo), excellent grade (Excelso) and top grade (UGQ, Unusual Good Quality). Klauss coffee in the excellent grade is exported to Germany and Europa coffee is exported to Nordic countries. Excellent grade coffee and top coffee can be bought in most coffee shops. The difference between the two professional regulations is that the coffee beans used in top coffee are larger, and the raw materials are taken from newly harvested coffee beans, so it is easier to ensure the quality of the products. Excellent coffee is usually softer and slightly more acidic than top coffee, but both are aromatic coffee with moderate granules and excellent fruit. Colombian coffee is often described as having a silky taste. Of all the coffees, it has the best balance, soft and smooth taste, and can be drunk at any time.

The thorny question facing Colombian coffee growers is whether to replace bourbon coffee with fast-growing and high-yielding Arabica coffee trees. Some people say that the quality will not be as good as it used to be, but others say that in the place where coffee is most suitable for growth, there will not be much difference in quality.

Narino province of Columbia is located in the southwest of the country, facing the Pacific Ocean to the west and Ecuador (Ecuador) to the south. The Andes Mountains run through the province. Coffee is grown on a high-altitude cloud belt of 1600 to 2300. The soil is fertile volcanic geology, the bean shape is small but full, and the color is green. Most of the annual output in Nalinglong producing area is acquired by large American bean merchants, which is very popular in the North American market.

◆ Nalinglong producing area is located in the Andes at the junction of southeast Colombia and Ecuador. Near the equator at latitude 0 ℃, it receives almost the same number of sunshine hours every day. The stable temperature change and annual rainfall in the morning and evening produce rich soil organic matter, so that the coffee trees in Nalinglong producing area can also thrive in high altitude areas, creating quite a flavor aroma.

Colombia's geographical environment is excellent: low latitudes, high elevations, coffee trees are mostly planted in the Andes, between 1200 and 1900 meters above sea level, and the planting area from south to north, staggered production seasons, coffee production throughout the year, becoming the world's third largest coffee supplier. In particular, Colombian coffee is an Arabica species, with a balanced, long-lasting, bright and mellow taste, is a good coffee that is easy to brew, and is very suitable for small family units, even office workers (lazy people) who drink American coffee machines or mocha pots quickly.

At present, there are two main producing areas in Colombia: commercial coffee producing areas and boutique coffee producing areas. Commercial coffee is distributed in Medillin, Armenia and Manizales in the north-central region, collectively known as MAM. The high-altitude areas in the south are the boutique coffees, such as Huila, San Augustin, Cauca, Tolima and Nari ñ o in St. Augustine.

There is a hidden business trap. How do I know that the coffee beans I bought are commercial coffee? Or boutique coffee?

Colombian coffee beans are graded according to the "size" of raw beans (1 item is 1 stroke 64 inches), so how to judge the size of raw beans? Let's "sift through the net" together! A total of three grades are divided into: Supremo (the highest 17 orders / 18 orders, 17 orders 6.75mm 7mm), Excelso Extra (16 orders / 15 orders), U.G.Q. (Usual Good Quality,14 / 12 orders, belong to commercial beans! See, XD). Therefore, to buy Colombian coffee beans, in addition to visually judging the size of coffee beans, be sure to confirm the "producing areas" of coffee beans again and again to ensure that they are the best coffee in Hong Kong.

One of the most famous producing areas in Colombia is the province of Nalinglong. The other real name is Narino, literally translated as "Narinho", and translated as "Na Linglong" by the domestic coffee industry. Na Linglong has a balanced and soft flavor, clean and rich flavors of apricot, grapefruit and toffee, so it is very popular. And this is because: Colombia is famous for its high altitude, the lower altitude in the north-central part mainly produces commercial beans, and the south-central part mainly produces high-quality beans. The south-central region is also the area for the winners of previous "extraordinary cups" and SCAA "Coffee of the year", and Nalinglong Province is one of them. At the same time, the quality of Colombian coffee beans is divided into more than 200 grades, with SUPERMO as the highest grade, followed by EXCELSO, but only selected coffee with beans No. 18 (diameter 18x64 inches in diameter) can be included in the selection. And Na Linglong is the SUPERMO quality. And this is also closely related to Na Linglong's choice of high-quality Kaddura varieties and high-quality natural conditions.

[hand made Columbia Linglong Coffee]

On the first day, the steaming time was 30sec, and the nutty aroma (macadamia nut) was obvious, but the entrance was a completely new world! First there is a tomato flavor of fruits and vegetables, followed by lemon fruit acid, mellow taste, the first time to drink coffee with fruit and vegetables flavor, very interesting!

On the second day, Brita filtered water was used to maintain 30sec for steaming time. The flavor of imported fruits and vegetables (tomato) decreased, the flavor of fruit acid (lemon) increased, and the taste was more mellow than that of the first day. Cool about 35 °C to taste, the sour taste of lemon is more obvious.

Although Colombian coffee beans are not as unique as the Yega Sheffield region of Ethiopia, the mellow taste is also irresistible, and it is a good choice for mixed beans.

Colombian Coffee

The world coffee is divided into two series, one is the "hard" coffee represented by Brazil, which has a strong flavor, and the other is the "soft" coffee represented by Colombia, which has a light flavor. The difference lies in the altitude of the producing area and the method of planting. Coffee is planted extensively in hilly red soil in Brazil and intensive cultivation in mountain black soil in Colombia. The Colombian super aroma is rich and thick, with clear high-quality acidity, high balance, and sometimes nutty, lingering aftertaste. Columbia Super Class is excellent in appearance and quality, just like a woman's vaguely charming, charming and just right, reminiscent of the fact that Colombia's suitable climate provides a real "natural pasture" for coffee. Coffee trees in Colombia are mainly cultivated in the Andes, on steep slopes about 1300 meters above sea level, where the annual temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall is 2000 to 3000 millimeters, latitude 1 °- 11 °15 north, longitude 72 °- 78 °west, the specific range of elevation is more than 2.000 meters. A special combination of factors, latitude, altitude, soil, plant origin of species and varieties of coffee production in Colombia's coffee growing area, rain patterns produced by the climate of the coffee growing area and tropical convergence, changing topography, luminosity, favorable temperature range throughout the year, moderation and Rain Water's distribution And include some common cultural practice areas in the process of selective logging and transformation, including washing and drying. It is very suitable for the growth of coffee, mild climate, humid air, and can be harvested regardless of season, regardless of yield or texture. Colombian coffee is first produced by Medellin, which is characterized by full granulated coffee beans, rich nutrition, moderate acidity, good balance, rich aroma and soft taste. In addition to Medellin, the capitals of two neighboring provinces in the south, Armenia and Manizales, are also famous coffee producers, which formerly belonged to Medellin's province of Andiquio, which had a Caldas football team that played in the last Toyota Cup. These three places have formed the world-famous "coffee zone".
