Taste:
When you buy coffee beans, you will see descriptions of different coffee flavors, using adjectives such as tropical fruit, caramel, nuts, cocoa and so on. These descriptions of coffee flavor are all derived from the coffee flavor wheel produced by SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America).
[characteristics of various coffee beans]
◎ Manning
The southern part of Sumatra, Indonesia, has relatively high alcohol thickness, obvious bitterness, low acidity and deep baking degree.
Grading: according to the quality of defective beans, from Grade1 (G1) to Grade6 (G6), the quality is divided into 7 grades, and G1 is the best. In particular, I would like to mention Gold Manning, different from the usual understanding, Huang Man is not a grading standard, but PWN selected full-grained, larger-sized beans, named Golden Manning, and registered trademark. So strictly speaking, only beans produced by PWN can be called golden manning, and other beans of the same or better quality can not be called golden manning.
◎ Yega Xuefei
The Sidamo region, which mentions Yega Chuefei, describes it as "strong floral aromas, subtle fruit acidity, soft bergamot and lemon flavors", with a hint of floral and fruity aromas, slightly sour on the palate, and it is good to like the layers of this sour Yega Chefe coffee.
Grading: Yega Xuefei's grading system is a little confused. According to the treatment method, it was first divided into water washing: G1, G2 according to SCAA, and sunlight: G1, G3, G4, G5 (no G2), the smaller the number, the higher the grade. But it seems that since a few years ago, Ethiopian officials have developed another set of grades, with all exported coffee beans anonymously concentrated on the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX). High-quality beans were divided into An and B groups, and each group was subdivided into 1 and 2 grades. Group An is Yega Xuefei, which means that high-quality Yega Chuefei beans are grade A1. This anonymous approach makes it difficult for us to trace specific farms. At present, some domestic sellers are still using the old G1, G2 classification standards, and some are using the new A1, A2 system.
◎ Blue Mountain
The most famous coffee in the country is Blue Mountain Coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee is produced in the Blue Mountains near Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. because of its small production and monopolized by Japan, the quantity of Blue Mountain coffee to other countries is very small, which keeps the price high. In the early years, due to plumbing problems, there were few authentic blue mountain coffee in China, only "blue mountain flavor coffee". To say that the most important feature of Blue Mountain coffee is the balance of various flavors, but those who like it like it, while those who do not like it regard it as boring and think that the greatest feature of Blue Mountain is that it has no characteristics.
Classification: the classification of Blue Mountains, from high to low, is divided into Blue Mountains No.1, No.2, No.3 and Blue Mountains mixed. And the special blue mountain round bean (PB). In addition to Blue Mountain Coffee, coffee grades in other Jamaican producing areas are also classified from high to low: Alpine Coffee, Jamaican quality and Jamaica selection.
◎ Hawaii KONA
"due to the island topography and volcanic soil, Hawaiian coffee has a very special taste, not too strong, not too sour and mellow, with pleasant wine aromas and acidity.
Classification: KONA coffee is divided into four grades, which are the most advanced Extra Fancy, Fancy, Prime and Gr. No.1 et al. However, due to low production and high production costs, with the increasing demand for boutique coffee in recent years, the price of Kona on the market is catching up with the Blue Mountain of Jamaica, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy good Kona beans.
◎ Rose Summer
Rose is a new variety in recent years, which has been planted in many parts of the world. It is of higher quality in Latin American countries such as Panama, Guatemala and Colombia, and now it is well-known and priced to catch up with Blue Mountain and KONA. The flavor is mainly fruity and an aroma similar to oolong tea, so some people say that there is a feeling of drinking herbal tea when drinking rose summer.
◎ Brazil
Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, with the largest total output in the world. Coffee taste mild, slightly sour, slightly bitter, no major shortcomings, no outstanding advantages, relatively moderate, so there is not much boutique coffee, mainly used as beans.
◎ Colombia
The second largest producer of Colombian coffee. Although its output is lower than that of Brazil, the overall quality of coffee beans is higher. The greatest feeling of Colombian coffee should be smooth, this kind of coffee is medium mellow, low acidity, sweet taste, with some nutty flavor, suitable for medium or deep roasting, drink alone, with beans are good.
◎ Kenya AA
Obvious fruit aroma and acidity, sour taste is different from the bright acidity of Yegashifi, Kenyan acid is more rugged.
Grading: AA is actually a grade of Kenyan coffee, with AA++ and AA+ above it, AB below, and PB round beans. However, at present, Kenyan coffee is collectively referred to as Kenya AA in China.
◎ Antigua, Guatemala
Antigua coffee is produced in Antigua, because it is grown on the hillside of the hinterland of the volcano, the beans will contain nitrogen, and it will be charcoal or smoky after baking, but this flavor has a lot to do with the depth of baking. like medium baking, it's hard to show.
◎ Costa Rica
The most famous is the Tarasu producing area. Due to the strict control of the local government, the quality of raw beans is good, but there are few defective beans. Planting at high altitude has a strong sour taste, and coffee trees grow slowly because of the lower temperature in the mountain area, with a more complex but not monotonous taste.
