1. from light to medium light

When roasted, there are three elements that determine coffee flavor: sweet, sour and bitter. Generally speaking, the longer the baking time, the less sour will remain, but the bitter will increase, and the sweet will be between the sour and bitter peaks. The coffee world once pursued a very shallow roast,"shallow to the point where the expresso was sour to the point where it was like lemon juice." Now we're starting to strike a balance, sweeter, richer flavors, nutty flavors, and less thinness.

2. return to sunlight

Solarization is sensitive to weather and environmental factors, sometimes with negative flavors, and has been replaced by methods such as washing and honey treatment. With the advancement of sun technology in recent years, African beds for drying coffee beans have become more popular, while the coffee industry is pursuing special flavor coffee beans, and the bean frying division has returned to the embrace of sun. "The flavor after washing is not as complex as the sun. The sun treatment adds a complex fruit flavor after fermentation, and the sweetness is also higher." He suggested that washed beans could be used for hand-brewed coffee, which would have a sour and sweet flavor, while sun-dried beans could be used for espresso, which would highlight the explosive sweetness.

3. Blended coffee is still mainstream

Single coffee beans (single origin) in recent years is a hot coffee shop,"I used to think that the mixture may not be good enough, but now some people think that a single coffee bean everyone has, mixed coffee beans have more personality." It depends on whether you want to drink the taste of the place or the coffee shop." Mr Chan Tin Lok, a coffee surveyor, has also supplied beans to many coffee shops in Hong Kong. He pointed out that mixed beans still account for the majority: "Hong Kong people are used to drinking coffee with milk. Single coffee falling into coffee with milk may not be the most comfortable combination." Because single coffees are too personal and biased towards a certain flavor, blended coffee beans are still the mainstream, combined with different coffees." It also depends on the coffee shop's guest route, whether to pursue a stable taste, or to drink the most seasonal coffee bean flavor. For his part, he prefers East African coffee beans, which have a strong taste and are more like fruit tea.
