A brief introduction to the treatment method of grinding degree and baking degree of Colombian boutique coffee beans mixed with sour and sweet fruits

As for the color of the beans, the growing environment of coffee beans and the processing technology of green beans will affect the color of coffee beans. If the same coffee beans from the same plantation are treated differently, for example, one batch is washed with water and the other with honey, the two batches will have different colors. In general, bean density is the most powerful basis for judging the elevation of coffee beans

Coffee Bean Density: How does the elevation of the coffee growing area affect coffee quality? At high altitudes, warmer temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night can slow coffee berry growth. The longer growth time of coffee trees means that coffee beans have more time to develop rich and complex flavor curves. What is the result of growing coffee in the highlands? Coffee beans are harder, smaller in shape and richer in flavor. The denser the coffee beans, the deeper the roasting depth they can withstand.

Valle del Cauca Province to the south, can reach Cauca Province, and then to the southeast can reach Costa Rica's second largest coffee-producing province, Vera Province, is also the largest quality bean producing area. Further south is the fine production area of Nalinglong Province, both of which have volcanic and fertile volcanic ash soil, because volcanic ash is rich in minerals, nourishing coffee fields and helping to breed coffee. The flavor of these two regions is similar, both known for sweet and sour fruit notes.

Colombia coffee species have to mention "Arabica species"(scientific name Coffee Arabica). Arabica coffee trees grow at an altitude of 900 meters to 2000 meters; cold-resistant, suitable growth temperature is 15-24℃; larger humidity is required, annual rainfall is not less than 1500 ml, and at the same time, higher requirements are required for cultivation techniques and conditions. So you can now understand why the above explanation of the logo uses the Dis Mountains in the coffee-growing area as the background

Vera province has two harvests a year, the main season is October to February, the second season is in summer but the quality is slightly worse, Vera accounts for about 10% to 20% of Costa Rica's coffee production; Nalinglong only harvests once a year, the harvest period is in spring and summer, Nalinglong accounts for about 3% to 5% of Costa Rica's coffee production.

Cauca department, named after Cauca River. Located in the southwest of Colombia, it is an important producing area of fine coffee in Colombia together with Nario Department and Huila Department.

The biggest difference between Kauka and other producing areas in climate is probably the relatively large temperature difference, with a daily average temperature of 11 ° C and a daytime average temperature of 18 ° C. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in the composition of high-quality coffee. Low temperatures at night and higher altitudes slow down the pace of coffee growth, allowing coffee seeds and beans to absorb more nutrients from the coffee cherries, resulting in better acidity and the special sweetness that is praised for coffee.

Elevation directly affects the appearance of coffee beans. When you look closely at green coffee beans, you will notice that each coffee has a different size and density. Are the coffee beans in your hand small and dense? Is the gap in the middle of the bean tightly closed or open? Is the slit straight or curved? Is the color of the coffee bean close to jade, light green or blue? The shape of the beans can directly reflect the growth altitude of coffee beans.

The best quality coffee beans are usually firm and grow at altitudes above 4500 meters. These beans grow extremely slowly, so the density of the beans is high, and the gaps in the middle of the beans should be curved. In contrast, coffee beans grown at lower elevations tend to have a lower density and a slightly open gap in the middle.
