A brief introduction to the flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of boutique coffee beans in Sumatra, Indonesia

The coffee was discovered because stingy Dutch planters banned local workers from drinking coffee. In order to get the magical fruit they had worked so hard to grow, they had to find another way to find it in the excrement of civets. After cleaning and grinding, it was made into world-class coffee, which was then found by the Dutch and became more expensive. Bali, as Indonesia's main tourist destination, is often famous for its golden coffee in tourist brochures. In fact, this is the special item of Golden Mandheling coffee in Sumatra, Indonesia, also known as Golden Manning. In Sumatra, which probably escaped the disease in the past, Mantenin is one of the top coffees in the world. It is slippery and mellow, with a heavier taste and a longer aftertaste than Java coffee. It may not be as delicate as Java, but more ferocious. You can recognize the trademark of the golden butterfly when you buy it.

Manning's suffering will not upset you, but will make you feel more awake. Before you encounter real pain, Manning is just an ordinary drink with a bitter taste, a refreshing liquid, a tool to slow you down, and it can't feel your grievance yet. but there are many people who are madly infatuated with Mantenin's bitterness, as if they can't quit if they are poisoned. If you want to know why, they will smile and tell you: "because love is bitter." Manning style Manning leaping micro-acid mixed with the richest aroma, so that you can easily taste the lively factor in the mild fragrance, its outstanding taste has confused many suitors

Grinding: in order to blend with water, coffee has made the greatest sacrifice-smashing into pieces. Before brewing coffee, the beans must be ground into fine grains to increase the contact area between water and coffee in order to extract the delicacy. In fact, the bean grinder is more important than the coffee machine. At present, most people choose the "sawtooth grinder" because it can grind uniform coffee powder quickly and steadily. The operation method of the sawtooth bean grinder is very simple, generally speaking, it will have two setting functions, one is to set the grinding degree, the other is to set the grinding time. The degree of grinding is mostly expressed in Arabic numerals, and the smaller the number is, the finer the grinding is. On the top of the bean grinder is a funnel shaped box containing unground beans, and below is a drawer to hold the ground coffee powder. When you choose to buy a bean grinder, you should pay attention to its power, usually between 70 watts and 150 watts, the higher the better, the higher the power, the faster the grinding speed, and the shorter time the coffee powder stays in the sawtooth, so it can grind the coffee powder at low temperature.

Even if the coffee made of boutique coffee beans is not all fine coffee, it depends on whether it gives full play to the characteristics of coffee beans, whether it has a good taste, if not, it can not be called boutique coffee.

Boutique coffee is fresh coffee. Whether it's food or drink, of course, the fresh the better, and so is boutique coffee. High-quality coffee should keep the coffee beans fresh before making, including the preservation of baked beans, and grind the coffee beans into powder before making, which is also to retain its original and best flavor. The way of making hand-brewed coffee is such a way to make high-quality coffee, and it is also one of the coffee-making methods that can best retain the original flavor of coffee. Boutique coffee is good coffee and is harmless to health. Different from coffee made with low-quality coffee beans, high-quality coffee uses high-quality coffee beans and freshly made coffee, which is harmless to health, and drinking in moderation is beneficial to the body and mind. Boutique coffee has a rich and beautiful taste.

Sumatra (Sumatra):

Coffee in Sumatra is very complex and elusive. Although Sumatra is large, coffee is not grown all over the island. Coffee trees are grown in only the two northernmost provinces of the island's eight provinces, Aceh and Jiangsu: Aceh coffee is mainly produced in the Gayo Mountain mountains around Lake Lake Tawar, and most of the farmers in this area are local Gayo People aborigines. On the other hand, coffee in Jiangsu Province is mainly produced in the world's largest super crater lake-Lake Toba Lake (Tuba Lake) and south Lindong (Lintong) producing area, and the local farmers are mostly composed of Batak People aborigines. Due to many sharecropper producers and the use of their unique semi-washing treatment and lack of iron in the soil, coffee beans in this area have a special blue color at the stage of fresh beans.

The Gayo region is located in Aceh and Gayo, north of Sumatra. Coffee is grown on the slopes around the town of Takegon and Lake Tawar. The average planting height in the production area is between 1110 and 1300 meters. Coffee is planted by shade farmers under shade trees, showing a peculiar flavor, low depth and lively and full-bodied flavor. Aceh, the northernmost corner of Sumatra, is a fascinating and complex place. Aceh is not an area visited by ordinary people because of its long-term political instability. Gayo people are hardworking and have a firm personality, and nearly 20% of coffee processors are women. Under this semi-wet and semi-dry peeling and wet washing method, the coffee farm machine removes the peel and pulp of the red cherry fruit. There is still a lot of mucus on the coffee beans, and then stored in a fermentation tank for about a day (24 hours). The attached mucus is easily washed away with water. Then when the sun-drying reaches about 30% to 35% water content, the coffee bean shell is removed and it can be sold on the market. When the shell of the coffee bean is removed in this semi-wet and semi-dry state, the bean itself reveals a unique dark blue, which reduces the acidity and increases the alcohol thickness (body) of the coffee, making this unique Indonesian coffee.
