How to make a delicious coffee bean

The term "BLEND" in coffee refers to the combination of several coffee beans of different producing areas and roasting degrees to produce the ideal coffee according to the flavor characteristics of the coffee beans.

Of course, before blending, it is necessary to decide what kind of coffee should be prepared, for example, to emphasize sour taste or bitter taste. After determining the taste, mix it according to the characteristics of various coffee beans. Here are several representative ways of blending coffee.

What's the difference between mixed coffee and individual coffee?

A single product, as its name implies, is a bean from a single producing area.

Blending refers to beans that mix more than two kinds of single coffee.

The purpose of blending beans is to distinguish them from other coffee shops.

What are the naming rules for matching coffee names?

The name of the commodity is an important basis for consumers to judge when they choose and buy. if it causes misunderstanding, it will cause great problems.

When using a trade name, we must first investigate whether there is any infringement on other people's trademark rights. In addition, according to the Fair Competition regulations on the labelling of General concentration Coffee and instant Coffee, the name of blended coffee must meet the following conditions.

To add the origin of raw beans to the trade name, the commodity must contain more than 30% of the coffee from that origin (converted to raw beans). For example, if it is named "Kenyan blended coffee", where raw beans prevail, the product must use more than 30% of Kenyan beans (according to the specifications of the Japan Coffee and Beverage Association, liquid coffee must account for more than 51%). However, the proportion of Kenyan beans does not have to be the highest, and the weight ratio of baked beans is fine even if it is less than 30%.

In addition, according to the definition of the all-Japan Coffee Fair Trade Agreement, raw materials must be used for specific trade names (some examples are given on the next page). Special attention should be paid to this part.

Take "charcoal roasted mocha blended coffee" as an example, if the heat source during baking is used as the trade name, other heat sources cannot be used when roasting coffee beans. Under this principle, it is necessary to use more than 3 ○% (raw beans) of mocha roasted by charcoal fire (Ethiopia or Yemen), as well as charcoal roasted coffee from other places. In addition, if the name of the raw material other than coffee (such as soybeans or dandelions) is added to the trade name, or the words "the highest level" are added without objective basis, it is improper marking.
