Pay attention to the organic certification logo when buying organic coffee

Coffee imported from China has become an indispensable drink in life for Mr. Yang, a coffee lover. Mr. Yang said, "the taste of organic coffee is not much different from that of ordinary coffee, and what we pursue more is the freshness of its concept." In terms of taste, people who are sensitive to taste still feel this way: organic coffee will be closer to the original taste of the variety to which it belongs, the dietitian said.

So, how to distinguish between organic coffee beans and ordinary coffee beans? Zang Quanyi believes that if you can see coffee beans that have just been picked, it will be easier to identify them. Organic coffee beans and ordinary coffee beans are not very consistent in size and appearance, and organically grown coffee beans are relatively small. However, after the coffee beans have been carefully picked and graded, it is difficult to distinguish them from their appearance. "after being processed into powder, compared with coffee made by the same variety and the same method, organic coffee will have a slightly stronger flavor."

Shen Guanghong, deputy director of China Green Huaxia Organic Food Certification Center, suggested that when consumers buy organic coffee, if it is coffee with packaging, pay attention to whether the packaging carries the Chinese organic product certification mark and number. For organic coffee sold in bulk, it depends on whether the seller can display or provide a copy of the organic product certification certificate.
