coffee planting
The weak acid fertile soil under volcanic gestation, obvious dry and wet seasons, high temperature and sufficient precipitation provide excellent conditions for coffee cultivation.
coffee varieties
100% Arabica. In 1989, in a rare move, a national ban on Robusta cultivation was passed, which was extended to boycott cartimor varieties. See more caturra, catuai.
Coffee harvesting and processing
Hand picked. Harvest time is from August to April, depending on the altitude of the producing area. Traditional water treatment. Sun drying. It usually takes about 7 days to reduce the water content to 12%, and it is stored in the warehouse with shell beans. There are also machine dryers that can shorten the drying time to 24 hours. Machine drying is suspected of affecting flavor.
Coffee grade
According to the altitude of the producing area, the density of beans is graded:
SHB, strictly hard bean ≥ 3900 feet (about 1200m)
GHB,good hard bean, hard bean ≥ 3300 feet (approx. 1000m)
MHB, medium hard bean ≥ 1600 feet (about 500m)
In general, altitude is positively correlated with density. In high altitude areas, the temperature is low, the coffee fruit grows slowly and the density is high; in low altitude areas, the coffee fruit grows faster and the density is low.
coffee producing areas
