Introduction to the regional treatment method of Colombian coffee bean flavor description, grinding scale and variety production

The main varieties of Colombian coffee are small grains of coffee. Plants are small trees or large shrubs, 5-8 m tall, usually much branched at base; old branches gray-white, nodes dilated, young branches glabrous, compressed. Leaves thinly leathery, ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, 6-14 cm long and 3.5-5 cm wide, apex long acuminate, acuminate part 10-15 mm long, base cuneate or slightly obtuse, rarely rounded, entire or shallowly wavy, both surfaces glabrous, lower vein axils with or without small pores; midrib raised on both surfaces of leaf, 7-13 on each side of lateral veins; petiole 8-15 mm long Stipules broadly triangular, arising from the tip of the upper part of the young branch conical or awn tip, the tip of the old branch is often protruding tip, 3-6 mm long. Cymes several clustered in leaf axils, each with 2-5 flowers, without a peduncle or with a very short peduncle; flowers fragrant, with pedicels 0.5-1 mm long; bracts basally somewhat connate, dimorphic, of which 2 are broadly triangular, nearly equal in length and width, and the other 2 lanceolate, twice as long as wide.

The pure taste of Colombian coffee comes from Colombia's natural environment with the most favorable conditions for coffee growth. But beyond that, it is inseparable from the hard work of local growers. In Colombia, coffee cultivation has reached 1.07 million hectares, there are about 302000 coffee plantations in the country, and 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production. Although there are many farms in Colombia, they are not large in area. The area of each farm is only about 2 hectares, and more than 80% of the coffee plantations have only about 5000 coffee trees, an average of 3000. Thus it can be seen that agriculture in Colombia belongs to the small-scale farm type. The locals plant tall trees or banana trees around the coffee trees. Build an Arbor for coffee trees at the seedling stage to ensure the cool and humid environment needed for coffee growth. Due to the high humidity, small temperature difference and slow ripening of coffee beans in the coffee forest, which is conducive to the accumulation of caffeine and aromatic substances, the quality of coffee is the best.

The main varieties of Colombian coffee are Arabica coffee (coffea arabica), that is, small fruit coffee (small grain coffee). Relatively speaking, large fruit coffee (coffea robusta) is mostly grown in Africa of origin, such as the famous Madagascar coffee. There are several varieties of small fruit coffee. Brazilian coffee, which has the largest yield in the world, has larger seeds, stronger adaptability and high fruit yield; by contrast, the mild coffee produced in Colombia is a more high-quality variety, which is related to its special geographical location and climatic environment.
