（转）Sigri农园的水洗处理咖啡

闲来无事，本想找些关于巴布亚新几内亚Sigri农园咖啡的信息，从Gimme!Coffee的网站上找到了这些照片和信息。

Sigri Plantation is located in the Papua New Guinea highlands. Growing conditions here are well-suited for coffee: about 5200 feet above sea level, with a cool climate and plenty of rainfall.

(Sigri农园位于巴布亚新几内亚，这里的环境非常适宜咖啡的生长，海拔约5200英尺(约1600米)，气候凉爽多雨。

"Processing" or "milling" is the way farmers separate the coffee bean from the pulpy fruit around it. The Sigri Estate has been refining its coffee processing method for over fifty years.

通过处理，工人们将咖啡浆果的果肉同种子(咖啡生豆)分开。50多年来Sigri农园一直沿用传统的方法来处理咖啡。

Sigri uses a classic processing method: fully-washed and sun-dried. Processing the coffee immediately after harvest ensures a clean flavor in the final cup.

Sigri使用传统的水洗方法来处理咖啡，即咖啡在采摘以后马上用完全水洗的方法将咖啡果肉和种子分离，然后再进行晾晒的方法。这种处理方法保证了sigri咖啡清澈干净的味道。

The beans are washed three times over a 72-hour period. In between washings, they are held in fermentation tanks, which helps to break down the pulp around the bean. Once all the pulp is removed, the beans are soaked one last time in fresh water.

经过72小时的冲洗、发酵的三个反复过程，果肉逐渐和种子分离，在果肉最后脱离种子之后，咖啡豆子要经过最后一次清水的冲洗和浸泡。

The beans are spread onto wide patios to dry in the sun. Over the next several days, the beans will be turned over with rakes make sure every last bean is dry. Finally, the coffee is ready to be sorted, shipped, and roasted. The final cup is deep and sweet, with an earthy flavor.

(经过最后一次浸泡的)咖啡豆被平摊在晾场上晾晒。在接下来的几天中，豆子会被经常播翻，以保证每粒豆子都完全晒干。然后豆子就可以按照标准手选分级、运输、烘焙了。最后到我们杯中的sigri，就是甘甜同时带有淡淡泥土香气的咖啡了。
