When it comes to Japanese coffee UCC, people immediately think of UCC canned coffee and instant coffee. However, on April 22nd this year, Shangdao Coffee opened a cafe specializing in boutique coffee: COFFEE LOVER'S PLANET, on the ground floor of Taipei's SOGO department store Dunnan.

On the last day of April, I went north to make a pilgrimage to COFFEE LOVER'S PLANET. I bought the bean "Jaguar" The Rios Jaguar Reserve from Treslios, Costa Rica, and took it home to taste it.

COFFEE LOVER's PLANET sells coffee beans in small packages. A 100-gigabyte pack of Jaguar coffee beans like this costs NT $270, which is not very cheap. However, small packaging has the advantages of small packaging, because the number of good beans produced by each estate is very limited: in addition, in order to let customers drink the flavor of coffee fresh and want to finish it in a short time, UCC abandoned half a pound of coffee beans and sold them in small packages instead. Small packaging can also allow customers to buy several kinds of boutique coffee and taste it slowly. Sure enough, UCC is very business-minded and slowly trains people who love boutique coffee.

Come back to this bag of coffee beans!

As soon as you open the UCC Costa Rican "Jaguar", each coffee bean looks complete and full, emitting a strong coffee aroma, really very fragrant.

"Jaguar", a coffee bean from Central America and Costa Rica, grows at a high altitude of about 1300 meters. The coffee treated with honey is said to taste fruity and honey, but I am looking forward to the charming flavor of red wine or dark chocolate.

Sure enough, the fresh beans and the ground coffee powder are very fragrant.

The so-called "honey treatment" of coffee means that after the thick peel of the coffee cherry is removed, the sticky pulp layer below it is retained, followed by direct sun treatment, and then the sticky layer and shell are removed directly after the pulp is dried. Honey-treated coffee beans, coffee sweetness and mellow times enhanced, the aroma will be more meticulous. This makes me look forward to the flavor of honey-treated "Jaguar" coffee.

Whenever I stay at home on weekends and holidays, I like to play hand-made coffee. Although there is a bit of "hard work" in preparing hand-made toys every time, I enjoy it. Let's go to Jaguar today and have a good taste.

Do you smell coffee?

When hand brewing, hot water is used to extract the fragrance of coffee drops through coffee powder and filter paper.

Coffee is ready. Let's have a drink together.

The sour taste of the hand-made "Jaguar" coffee was as strong as red wine, which made me exclaim "very exciting!"

The acidity is followed by rich fruit aromas, especially berry aromas: however, the palate gradually turns to soft, chocolate and sweetness.

This Costa Rican "Jaguar" is rich in flavor and aroma, which makes me see UCC's good beans, which is very impressive.
