A brief introduction to the cultivation of Mexican boutique coffee beans with special taste, geographical location, climate and altitude

Aldu Mara coffee beans are the top coffee beans in Mexico, this kind of coffee beans have large particles, with strong sweet, sour and good aroma. The plateau and mountain area of Mexico are about 5 times, with an annual average temperature of 25 ℃. The Mexican plateau has a mild climate all the year round, with mostly plateau topography, no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, and evergreen trees in the four seasons, so it enjoys the laudatory name of "Pearl of the Plateau". Due to geographical and climatic reasons, the coffee growing area in Mexico is close to Guatemala, and the main producing areas are Cora Begu and Aluca states. Most of the products are washed beans produced in the highlands, with good aroma and sour taste.

Mexican coffee-growing areas are mainly concentrated in the southeastern highlands, near Guatemala. Most of the mountains in the south are volcanic areas, and the volcanic ash soil is not only conducive to the drainage of coffee roots, but also provides sufficient nutrients for the growth of coffee trees. Most of the coffee varieties planted are Kaddura, Tibica, bourbon, etc., and the treatment methods are mostly water washing treatment, which are classified according to altitude.

Coffee beans are mainly exported to the United States, and about 70% of the coffee is exported directly to the United States, which is used as a large amount of industrial beans, making it a coffee plantation in the United States. However, Mexico's annual output is not proportional to its position in the coffee world. Although the output is large, there is a lack of some representative boutique coffee with outstanding quality. So when it comes to the level of understanding of Mexican coffee, most people, including myself, will feel relatively strange. When we taste and discuss beans from excellent producing areas of various countries, Mexican coffee exists awkwardly like an outsider.

But with a climate suitable for coffee growth, excellent coffee varieties, good soil and high-altitude planting areas, why is the quality of Mexican coffee not satisfactory?

A few days ago, when I went to Mexico, some colleagues jokingly called Mexico popcorn coffee. The quality of the raw beans exported by Mexico was not good, and the raw beans bought were sometimes mixed with a little corn and sand. If the corn is not picked clean and mixed with raw beans into the roaster, it will really become popcorn. But now the quality of raw beans exported from Mexico has been greatly improved, and the mixing of corn kernels has been a story for many years. Corn was cultivated by the ancient Indians of Mexico, so Mexico is known as the "hometown of corn", and corn is also the main crop in Mexico. Coffee in the drying process is not fine enough to mix with corn kernels. This explains why corn is mixed with corn. From this matter, it is not difficult to find that the root cause of the unsatisfactory overall quality of Mexican coffee lies in the follow-up production processing. From the harvest, treatment, grading, packaging and transportation of coffee fruits, unreasonable operation will lead to the loss of good flavor.

The main producing areas are: Kolabegu, Australia Aluca states, the products are mostly washed beans produced in the highlands, with good aroma and sour taste, the grade is divided into three categories according to altitude: Aldura (219m-1280 m), Prima. Rabe Society (853-1006 m) Puine. Raba Society (640-762 m).

Coffee beans are mainly exported to the United States: Aldura, Mexico. Taste characteristics: large particles, with a strong sweet, sour taste and good aroma. The best barbecue degree: medium fried or body fried. It is characterized by a smooth taste, high acidity, medium mellowness and a slightly nutty finish. Sweet, sour and bitter are neutral, moderately sour, special and elegant. Although the professionalism of Brazilian coffee is of little value, it is very suitable for blending. Because of the huge output of coffee, the price is not very expensive.

Non-alcoholic Mexican coffee often goes with milk. Heat a cup of milk, a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a teaspoon of vanilla powder in a pot at medium temperature, not too hot, and do not boil the milk. Then add the cocoa powder, fully dissolve and stir well. If you like chocolate, you can use chocolate paste instead of cocoa powder and milk. Let the milk dry for about 5 minutes, wait until the milk is slightly cool, then pour into the prepared coffee, decorate the coffee surface with cold cream, then decorate with a piece of cinnamon, and the Mexican coffee is ready. The aromas of chocolate and cinnamon blend together to give off the smell of desert. Tasting such a cup of coffee, it is as if you are walking through the vicissitudes of the desert to choose Mexican coffee manually. The main basis for selection is according to the fullness of coffee particles, whether it is uniform, and then grade it. Generally speaking, coffee with full and uniform grains is easier to preserve. Only the fullest and most evenly grained coffee beans can be roasted to represent the best and best coffee in the country.

After the workers picked the coffee beans, they spread the coffee beans in a special house with ventilation on all sides. About a week later, the coffee beans were packed in loosely packed bags so that the wind could blow through the bags. After about seven weeks, the coffee beans changed color and taste. Finally, these coffee beans are selected manually, and the coffee beans of high quality are selected and officially bagged for preservation.

Mexicans are optimistic and enthusiastic, and it can also be seen from their coffee that the mellow Mexican coffee is not only loved by the native people, but also praised by many coffee connoisseurs. There are many ways to taste Mexican coffee, mainly divided into alcoholic and non-alcoholic practices.

Another way to match Mexico's most famous tequila with coffee is to pour a small glass of tequila at the bottom of the cup, followed by milk and coffee, preferably decorated with cream and cinnamon. Tequila is a wine with great stamina. If you have enough courage, you might as well try this alternative coffee.

Indeed, after drinking Mexican coffee, it really has the effect of forgetting worries and getting rid of troubles. Mexican coffee has a strong low taste, rich aroma, although slightly bitter but very mellow, has a unique and strong flavor, is a wonderful product of afternoon tea, should be carefully tasted. It is also the best choice for mixing other coffees and the first sip of coffee that beginners should taste. When tasting Mexican coffee, you'd better drink it while it is hot. After an hour of hot coffee, all the aroma will be gone. If the coffee liquid is not filtered, be careful not to stir it into the coffee grounds, just like a slowly aged wine, not only to taste it, but also to appreciate its color.
