Introduction to the Grinding scale of Variety characteristics of the Flavor description treatment method of Las Haas Manor in Costa Rica

There are eight Costa Rican producing areas, of which Tarazu, the Central Valley and the Western Valley are recognized as the three best producing areas. Las Lajas is located in the foothills of Sabanilla de Alajuela and Poas Volcano in the Central Valley. Strictly speaking, "Lajas" is actually the name of the Chakon family processing plant. The name of the manor is Finca La Mirella, but bean bakers around the world are also accustomed to calling it Finca las lajas Lajas. It is also the first manor in Central America to start honey treatment and natural sun treatment. Tanning is a very traditional practice, which uses the least resources, but because there are too many uncontrollable factors, it is very difficult to do well. Francesca has added many innovations, such as using the sugar meter (Brix meter), which is often equipped in the wine industry, to measure the sugar content of the fruit, and to determine the best time and treatment of harvest according to the sugar content of Brix. Only those with more than 20% sweetness will be exposed to the sun. The Brix value of ordinary fruit is 14 for apples, 12 for lemons and 18 for passion fruits, but the coffee cherry in Las Lajas can reach 21 / 22%. The small coffee processing farm in Lajas has a history of growing and processing coffee for more than 80 years. In 1995, the second generation operator of the small coffee processing plant in Las Lajas died of cancer, which led to the succession of the third generation of French silk.

Other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio and Parana, can be produced in large quantities because they do not require too much care. Although the taste is rough, it is a kind of high-quality and inexpensive coffee, which has its own standards because it is distributed all over the country and varies in quality (NO.2~NO.8 according to the number of sundries, NO.13~NO.19 according to the size of beans, and six grades according to taste). Almost all Arabica varieties are of good quality and stable in price. The most famous one is Costa Rica, which has been a necessity of blended coffee and is familiar to the public since ancient times.

Excellent Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow above 1500 meters above sea level. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee beans, not only because the higher altitude can increase the acidity of the coffee beans and thus increase the flavor, but also because the night temperature at the higher altitude is lower, which can make the trees grow slowly, thus the flavor of the coffee beans is stronger. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, it is very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, its negative effect is to increase additional transportation costs, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including using "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.
