A brief introduction to the treatment method of grinding degree and baking degree of pure and slightly sour fine coffee beans in Renas Manor

The Himalayan Manor, located in Santa Ana, a famous producing area in the Apaneca Mountains at an altitude of 1500 meters, is one of the few estates managed by Aida Batlle. The varieties planted are mainly bourbon, El Salvador boutique coffee is concentrated in the volcanic rock producing areas of Santa Ana in the west and Charantanan fruit in the northwest, and the top 10 cup tests in recent years almost all come from these two producing areas, with an elevation of about 9-1500 meters above sea level. mainly bourbon (68%), followed by Pacas (29%), mixed-race Pacamara, Duraai and Kaddura accounted for only 3%.

The coffee harvest lasts from November to March. The fresh fruit of coffee is picked by hand.

On the whole, Salvadoran coffee inherits the mild quality of Sino-American coffee, which is soft, slightly sour and has beautiful sweetness. At the same time, it also has its own characteristics: the aromatic taste is slightly sour and very soft; it is pure and has no miscellaneous flavor, and the taste balance is excellent; the smooth feeling like cream chocolate is impressive; the dense feeling of coffee in the mouth gives the coffee a deep taste and a long finish.

Many coffee lovers will not know the country of El Salvador, which is located in the north of Central America. It is bordered by Honduras to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, Guatemala to the west and northwest, and the Gulf of Fonseca in the Pacific to the east. The smallest and most populous country in Central America. Topography to mountains, plateaus, multi-volcanic, Santa Ana active volcano 2385 meters above sea level, the highest peak in the country; the north for the Lompa River Valley; the south for the narrow coastal plain.

Salvadoran coffee ranks side by side with Mexico and Guatemala as the producers of Asa and Merdo, and is fighting for the top one or two places in China and the United States with other countries. The highlands of origin are large coffee beans of all sizes, which are fragrant and mild in taste. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee. It is divided into three grades according to elevation: SHB (strictlyhighgrown) = highlands, HEC (highgrowncentral) = mid-highlands, and CS (centralstandard) = lowlands. The best brand is Pipil, which is what the Aztec-Mayan (Aztec-Mayan) called coffee, which has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica).

Savanna climate. The plain area belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the mountain area belongs to the subtropical forest climate. The average annual temperature is 25-28 ℃. The annual precipitation is more than 1800 mm in mountain areas and about 1000 mm in coastal areas. The rainy season is from May to October.

Don't underestimate El Salvador's coffee production. In its heyday, it was once the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, but decades of civil war almost dragged down the coffee industry. fortunately, the war has stopped in recent years, and the coffee industry has come back to life. The only benefit that the civil war brought to the Salvadoran country was that the farmers' fields were barren and failed to catch up with the most popular Katimo exposure train in the past two decades, thus preserving the ancient varieties of bourbon and Tibica, that is to say, El Salvador still uses the most traditional shade planting, which is of positive significance to the aroma of coffee. In 2005, the Salvadoran mixed-race Pacamara boasted in coe, which confused many international cup testers and did not know how to grade it. It was never expected that this hybrid bean not only broke the mellow boundaries of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee.

El Salvador boutique coffee is concentrated in the volcanic rock producing areas of Santa Ana in the west and Charantanan fruit in the northwest. In recent years, the top 10 cup tests are almost entirely from these two producing areas, with an altitude of about 9-1500 meters, mainly bourbon (68%). Followed by Pacas (29%), mixed-race Pakamara, Dulaai and Kaddura accounted for only 3%.

The city of El Salvador has a large number of 16th-century buildings and religious buildings, many of which are decorated with 17th-and 18th-century carvings and stripes made of colored mud, reflecting the characteristics of the colonial period. Its overall characteristics are described through a forest of monuments and consistent ideas. All this shows that El Salvador is a famous example of a city that is structurally suitable for colonies.

In El Salvador, the coffee beans rich in the Kuskabapa region are the best, slightly lighter, fragrant, pure and slightly sour. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society. Another rare coffee is Parkmara, a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Marago Rippi coffee, best produced in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkmara coffee is full-grained, but not very fragrant

On the whole, Salvadoran coffee inherits the mild quality of Sino-American coffee, which is soft, slightly sour and has beautiful sweetness.

There are also buildings and dwellings of different styles built in the next two centuries. The city of El Salvador was an important meeting place of European, African and North American civilizations in the 16th and 18th centuries, and it was also a model for the successful transplantation of Renaissance urban architecture to colonial cities. Bahia culture originated from the African slave culture at that time, and the traditional music, dance, art, food and living habits of Africans can be found and seen in Bahia. In the square of El Salvador, black women can often be seen knitting small braids for non-black girls, and some black people are selling black jewelry, musical instruments and blankets. Various activities bring a strong sensory stimulation to tourists from other places. Today, the ancient city is still the center of the development and spread of Brazilian black culture. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see the mysterious Candomble religious ritual.

Coffee fields are endless, and most of them are harvested by machinery, which is in line with economic benefits. When 75% of the coffee fruit in the coffee garden turns red, mechanical harvesting is started, followed by the same pre-washing operation, which is moved into the sink to remove floating beans, sift out the sunken beans, and then use a large pulp screening machine to dig out the pulp and remove the pods covered with pectin. The next stage is separate from the washing method: the sticky pods do not need to be moved into the tank to ferment, but to the outdoor bean drying farm. Because of the dry climate in Brazil, the sticky pectin on the pods will harden in about a day or so. Then use a large number of manpower to turn up and down, so that the pods dry evenly inside and outside, so as not to return to moisture and stink. For about two to three days, with the help of the natural forces of sunlight and dry climate, the pods can achieve a certain degree of dehydration. Then further dry with a dryer, the water content is reduced to 10.5%, and the pods are stored in a special container for about 10 days to further mature, in order to stabilize the quality, remove sheep skins (pods) before export, remove coffee beans, and pack them in stages.
