Rwanda coffee beans grinding scale processing method production area variety manor introduction

Rwanda has been growing coffee since colonial times. Although the crops are mainly coffee, the quality of coffee produced in Rwanda is not outstanding, and its status in the coffee world is low, and few people pay attention to it. Most of the coffee varieties grown in Rwanda are bourbon. Rwanda, known as the "country of a thousand hills", has a high-altitude mountain environment, fertile volcanic soil and abundant precipitation, and has a climate conducive to the growth of coffee trees. The advantages of varieties and excellent natural conditions should have produced high-quality coffee, but why the quality of its coffee performance is not satisfactory? The reason lies in the later stage of processing. Improper handling will reduce the quality of coffee and sacrifice a lot of good flavor in vain. Harvesting, planting, treatment, grading, transportation and other links will directly affect the quality of raw coffee beans, in which the lack of control in a certain link will become a stumbling block to good coffee.

The coffee fruit needs to be transported to the processing plant as soon as possible after picking, but due to the lack of domestic facilities, it is unable to deal with the fruit at the first time. The fruits are piled up after being picked, which will continue to develop and accelerate mildew and decay due to lack of ventilation. Rotten fruits will affect the quality of coffee and show defective flavor.

In recent years, Rwanda has made great progress in the production and processing of coffee. First of all, coffee fruits are picked manually; coffee production cooperatives are set up all over the country to provide technical guidance to coffee farmers; coffee farmers send them to coffee processing stations for cleaning and screening as soon as possible after picking, and select mature and high-quality coffee fruits for processing.

The flavor of Rwanda is ashamed of the biased perception of Rwanda in the first place. I still remember that when I first came into contact with coffee, smell training was very resistant to No. 3 in the 36-smell bottle, and I even felt nauseous when I smelled it. So subjectively, I always like to make up the taste similar to grass automatically for the smell of green peas. Due to the lack of experience in tasting and production, we will subjectively list the grass and lavender-like aroma that Rwanda has as its own conflicting flavor. So when the production of Rwanda smelled its individual lavender fragrance, the coffee glutton shrank back to its stomach. However, with the improvement of taste and production experience, there is a new understanding of Rwanda with its individual fragrance.

Before sharing this article with you, in order to have a more objective evaluation of Rwanda, it is specially evaluated by cup test. Well-baked water-washed Rwanda has a dry aroma of roasted peanuts, accompanied by spice and wood aromas. The fragrance of wet lavender and green grass is strong. After the temperature drops a little, the sweetness of fruit increases, and the smell of lavender decreases. The palate is clean and mellow, with a good finish and a long-lasting aroma. The acidity is soft and the overall feeling is full and stretched.
