A brief introduction to the treatment method of grindability and baking degree of aged Mantenin boutique coffee beans

Properly stored coffee beans will change their taste and shape, such as reduced acidity, dark color and lack of moisture, thicker and thicker taste, sweetness with honey flavor, and some of the defects that originally belonged to raw beans become less obvious. Because the storage environment is dark and for a long time, aged coffee is always difficult to get rid of the complex flavor such as musty taste or commonly known as sack or pig and so on.

Aged beans (Aged bean) must be strictly and carefully controlled during storage, regularly flipped evenly, humidity and ventilation adjusted to prevent moth or mildew.

Generally speaking, the storage of aged beans does not take place in the producing area or manor, but is the business behavior of raw bean dealers or brokers.

Old coffee is different from Indian monsoon coffee, which is the result of natural aging of raw beans through rapid water loss in raw beans during a short period of 3-4 months. Monsoon coffee beans are young and strong. Old coffee beans are more different from old coffee. The flavor of raw coffee beans is preserved in the natural environment for about 12 months, and the weaker the flavor at the end is. The coffee beans that have been roasted for more than 12 months taste old and lack hierarchical changes, so they naturally lose the value of the products.

Not all coffee beans are suitable for storage as aged beans, and the raw beans that are usually selected for storage must have a strong physique. Therefore, the coffee beans produced in Indonesia's three important and well-known producing areas, Sumatra Mantenin, Sulawesi and Java, are the best choice for making aged coffee, especially the aged Mantenin. It is also an old coffee bean that is generally easy to buy in the world.

The internationally renowned Hawaiian Kona also has a small amount of aged beans, but not many people know it, mainly because it is not the mainstream flavor.

The aged coffee is full-bodied, calm, mellow and fermented, the taste is very similar to Pu'er tea, warm and mellow colloid smooth and smooth, aged coffee and Pu'er tea is the delicate fermentation changes brewing over the years, but the aged coffee beans can not be stored as long as Pu'er tea, although there are great annual differences, coffee beans are fruits, Pu'er tea is leaves, there is still room for competition between the two.

Which kind of beans have better flavor and special performance, such as aged Mantenin, aged Sulawesi or aged Java? The flavor of the coffee made by the deliberate storage process is very similar, and if there is any difference, it is only the mellow performance produced by the healthy quality of the raw beans at that time; even the aged Hawaiian Kona made of high-quality materials such as Hawaii Kona can not retain the unique volcanic smoke smell of Extra Fancy Kona, which is enough to awaken the soul aroma, delicate and elegant acidity and clear and clean balanced taste. Some, apart from the honey taste, consistency, mellow texture and low acidity of the aged Indonesian coffee beans, they still can't overcome the complex flavors such as mildew, leather, sacks and cellars.

The aged Agedmandheling is as sweet as honey. The successful old bean has worn away Manning's inelegant sour taste. The sour ingredients are ripe and converted to sugar, making the coffee more round and sweeter to drink. Manning is like a coffee zombie in the old age of failure, and the taste is difficult to taste.

Mantening coffee beans have large granules and hard beans, and they are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they usually have to be strictly selected manually. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. In addition, different degrees of baking will also directly affect the taste.

Sumatra manning has two famous names, they are Sumatra manning DP 1 (Sumatra Mandheling DP Grade 1) and collection Sumatra mantenin (Aged Sumatra Mandheling).

No one knows what DP in Sumatra Mantenin DP I means, but it is certain that of all the coffee in Indonesia, the DP grade is the most expensive; the Sumatran manning is called a "classic" because the desperate coffee is stored in the cellar for three years before it is exported. But classic coffee is by no means old coffee.

As a matter of fact, old coffee has a long history in Indonesia, because the early shipping is not so developed, and it takes a long time to transport coffee from Indonesia to other countries. over time, the water-rich fresh coffee beans slowly dried, coupled with the sea breeze blowing to add a very special flavor.

The pursuit of boutique beans, famous producing areas and manors has become a trend, as for old coffee beans (Aged bean) is still a strange term for consumers.

The so-called aged coffee beans (Aged bean) mean that raw beans age naturally by prolonging their storage time (usually 2murs-3 years). These changes include reduced acidity, color changes and thickening of beans. The storage environment must be cool and ventilated.
