Hanging-ear coffee has become popular in recent years, because its production method is simple and convenient, it is favored by office white-collar workers, and it has become one of the necessities for coffee practitioners to travel. On the other hand, Qianjie Coffee believes that hanging ear coffee not only preserves the original regional taste of coffee beans, but also retains the aroma of coffee.

The Origin of hanging ear Coffee

Hanging-ear coffee originated in Japan. In 1990, Japan Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. applied the concept of tea bag to coffee, invented filter-hanging coffee and applied for a patent. The birth of hanging-ear coffee is for convenience, there is no need for a good pot, temperature meter, weighing, etc., as long as there is a cup, a pot of boiling water, a bag of ears, you can have gangster fresh black coffee anytime and anywhere.

The emergence of hanging-ear coffee, we do not have to succumb to the taste of instant coffee, we can choose coffee beans according to personal preferences, the aroma and flavor performance of hanging-ear coffee can not be compared with instant coffee. However, Qianjie Coffee pays great attention to the quality and freshness of coffee beans. Qianjie Coffee, as a coffee shop focusing on beans, pays great attention to its freshness, whether it is hanging ear coffee or hand-brewed coffee beans. They all use freshly roasted beans. After we place an order, they are basically delivered on the same day, so that we can taste the best flavor of the coffee.

You can also choose a kind of coffee beans you like in Qianjie Coffee and make it into hanging-ear coffee directly. Qianjie coffee can be ground instead of powder, but if you buy beans for hand-brewed coffee, Qianjie coffee is advised to grind when brewing will have more aroma.

How to buy a kind of hanging-ear coffee that suits you?

When buying hanging-ear coffee, you can consider the freshness, the source of beans, and the coffee flavor of beans. For example, Qianjie coffee hanging ear coffee in order to facilitate guests to choose, hanging ear coffee flavor will be divided into five directions, respectively for fruit, flower, fermentation, wine and alcohol thickness.

Fruit-fragrant hanging ear bag, Qianjie Coffee recommends coffee beans from Ethiopia's Yega Xuefei producing area, which is better than if Ding Ding Coffee. When Qianjie Coffee passed the cup test, it was found that the washed Yega Xuefei has a clean and refreshing taste, bright and rising acidity, with citrus acidity as the main tonality, accompanied by the fresh aroma of jasmine and the finish of honey.

Flower-scented hanging ear coffee, Qianjie Coffee recommends Panamanian Rose Summer Coffee, because Panamanian Rose Summer Coffee is mainly grown in the Baru volcano area in Pokuit and grows in the volcanic area at an altitude of 1600 meters. It is found that Barnabas Coffee performs well in thickness, acidity and floral aroma.

Wine-flavored type of hanging-ear coffee, if it is like the fermented aroma of ripe fruit, Front Street Coffee recommends Bach or Mozart coffee from the Costa Rican musicians series. In addition, if some people prefer whisky, Qianjie Coffee recommends Shirley beans from Honduras, because in the process, the raw coffee beans are fermented in an oak barrel filled with whisky aroma, so that the coffee beans absorb the aroma of whisky. Therefore, this sherry coffee bean will have the taste of whisky sherry, and rich vanilla cream, with a long-lasting nutty chocolate flavor.

Everyone can choose their own hanging-ear coffee according to these aspects. In addition, many people will pay attention to how much caffeine coffee contains.

How much caffeine does hanging-ear coffee contain?

In fact, the caffeine content of each type of coffee varies greatly, and it is difficult to accurately tell the caffeine content of each type of coffee, but Qianjie Coffee recommends that the daily intake of caffeine should not exceed 400 mg, otherwise it will lead to insomnia and affect rest.

But generally speaking, robusta coffee contains twice as much caffeine as Arabica coffee. Lightly roasted coffee beans contain more caffeine than deep roasted beans because lightly roasted coffee is denser. In addition, the gouache ratio also affects caffeine content, and if you use more coffee powder, the caffeine content is higher.

Therefore, we can adjust the coffee concentration by adjusting the powder-to-water ratio and time length of hanging-ear coffee. Next is the front street coffee about the method of hanging ear coffee.

The brewing method of hanging-ear coffee

Hanging-ear coffee is sometimes called a simplified version of hand-brewed coffee, because it needs to pay attention to the proportion of brewed coffee, just like hand-brewed coffee. In general, Qianjie coffee recommends the brewing ratio of hanging-ear coffee between 1:14 and 1:18. When brewing hanging-ear coffee, we can also use the same three-stage extraction method as hand-brewed coffee, because the three-stage extraction method can more fully extract the flavor substances of coffee and enhance the hierarchical sense of coffee.

Qianjie takes into account that the powder content of each house's hanging-ear coffee may be a little different, so Qianjie Coffee takes its own hanging-ear coffee as an example when introducing to everyone about hanging-ear coffee. Before brewing hanging-ear coffee, Qianjie Coffee usually prepares the needed hanging-ear coffee, hot water and cups.

The first step is to preheat the cup. Then tear open the outer package of the hanging-ear coffee and take out the coffee filter bag inside.

The second step is to tear it open along the "open" prompt of the coffee filter bag, and then prop the paper straps on both sides of the coffee on the cup or spout. Note that the mouth of the cup should not be too large, otherwise the coffee will not hang firmly.

Step three, start making coffee. The amount of coffee in each bag of Qianjie coffee is 10 grams, and the recommended brewing ratio is 1:15. First, inject a small amount of hot water into the first stage to ensure that all the coffee powder is moistened for 10 to 20 seconds, the second stage is nearly full, let the coffee liquid drop, and finally a section of water is filled to full, a total of three stages of water. Wait for the remaining coffee liquid to filter and enjoy.

The fourth step is to throw away the brewed coffee. Do not soak the hanging-ear coffee in the coffee liquid for a long time, it will extract a lot of bad coffee flavor. This involves the problem often mentioned in Qianjie coffee, do not cycle many times to brew hanging-ear coffee, because the first brewing flavor of hanging-ear coffee is the best, after many brewing, the flavor will fade, bringing a bad sense of coffee experience.
