On the afternoon of the 19th, the Los Angeles Chinese Business and Economic Friendship Association held a double 10th Coffee talk at the overseas Chinese Education Center to celebrate the 106th anniversary of the Republic of China. Coffee experts in Los Angeles were invited to introduce the secrets of coffee, from the choice of raw beans to roasting and coffee tasting, attracting many coffee lovers to attend.

Mao Huimei, president of the Economic and Trade Association, said that many Chinese like to drink coffee, but many people have no idea or know little about the true appearance of coffee, so on that day, they not only showed you the fruits of coffee, but also introduced to you the roasting and selection of coffee. let everyone have an in-depth understanding of coffee, drink the right coffee, drink good coffee.

Frank Chen, a coffee expert who was invited to give a lecture on roasting that day, said that in recent years, the most widely accepted by the American people is Central American coffee, because Central American coffee is the most convenient to get, and Central American coffee is sweeter, and it has a stronger feeling of turning bitterness into sweetness. The most famous is Panamanian coffee, which sold for $600 a pound last year, but the most widely consumed are beans from Colombia and Brazil, which are sold in almost every coffee shop because of their high production. Asians, on the other hand, prefer Indonesian Mantenin coffee, which has a thick taste with a touch of smoke and a natural earthy flavor.

Frank said that for personal consumption, affordable Guatemalan coffee beans are good, he personally believes that the coffee beans from this region are rich and layered, and the price will not be too exaggerated. Commercial beans are mainly used in Brazil and Colombia, which are cheap, but they don't seem to be as rich and layered as Guatemalan coffee.

Coffee experts said that the most important thing for coffee is fresh, fresh roasting and fresh brewing to ensure the best flavor of beans. Coffee is also the more fresh the better, brewing methods and utensils are different, you will get different taste and flavor of coffee, the stale taste of coffee will slowly fade away. The taste of coffee usually begins to fade away after the roasting is finished, so the time should not be too long. The longer the coffee is, the less obvious the coffee is, so that every kind of coffee is very close.

Coffee experts advise the public that the fresh flavor period of coffee should be finished within two weeks after baking, but if it is preserved, it should be kept in a dry place that does not bask in the sun. It can be preserved for a month or two, but the taste will surely fade away. Even if it is sealed or stored in the freezer, it can only be preserved so that the coffee does not rot, but it does not preserve the taste of the coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy a small amount of coffee every time, two to three weeks at a time, and often buy Changxin, so as to ensure that you can drink the freshest and delicious coffee.
