What does SOE mean? Are you a little misunderstood about SOE coffee?

What is SOE?

The term SOE, which stands for SIngle Origin espresso, translates to mean espresso from a single producing area.

Individual coffee refers to the coffee produced by only a single item of coffee beans. For example, NDUMA AA in Kenya, NARINO in Colombia, etc., the "single item" in single coffee refers to traceable items, not varieties, because many items of coffee beans actually contain not a single variety. For example, Yega typically has its own citrus flavor, Kenya has its own fruit flavor, and Kenya still calls it a single product, even if it is beans with RUIRU11 trees.

Individual products can also make espresso, while espresso can also use boutique coffee beans, commonly known as "soe".

So why did this thing appear? Then the starting point is on the word boutique coffee.

Give an example to illustrate:

Examples are as follows:

SOE refers to the use of a single variety, single origin, single roasting degree of coffee beans made of Espresso. So here comes the problem, such as the soe made of sun-tanned Yega Xuefei.

Coffee origin: Yega Snow Coffee WOKA Waka, Ethiopia

Baking degree: city+

Espresso flavor: tropical fruit flavor, wine aroma, tail rhyme flower flavor

Milk coffee: toffee, milk fruit, supple, soft acidity, long-lasting finish

This is a typical SOE product, because, as mentioned above, because it is a single producing area of coffee beans, so its flavor will be very typical, coupled with its own espresso will magnify the taste of coffee, so the flavor will be more prominent than hand brewing.

The first misunderstanding of SOE coffee:

SOE coffee tastes better than mixed coffee.

There are many factors that determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good, such as coffee beans, roasting, coffee maker, production process, personal taste preferences, etc., while SOE only refers to espresso made of individual coffee beans, the coffee beans used are not necessarily better than those used in blending coffee, and several other factors also have a great impact on the quality of coffee, so you can't generalize what kind of coffee tastes good!

The second misunderstanding of SOE:

The idea of SOE beans mixed with coffee is not standard.

SOE beans are individual coffee beans, and blended beans are beans made of more than two kinds of single coffee beans. Since it is a mixed bean, it can not be called SOE bean, there is no such contradictory saying as "SOE mixed bean"!

So how to correctly product espresso and soe?

1, usually, the coffee shop espressosoe will be accompanied by a glass of water, drink a glass of water first to adjust the taste buds to the cleanest and most primitive state.

2, observation: oil color, state, smell espresso overflow full of coffee aroma. The olfactory and visual nerves tell the brain that a perfect cup of coffee is about to begin.

You need to take a sip of espressosoe first, don't swallow it in a hurry, just like drinking red wine, let it stay between your lips and teeth for a while. Feel the relationship and weight between its sour and bitter, and then swallow it and wait for it to return.

Most people are used to killing a cup of espressosoe with three mouthfuls. It would be nice if you like to taste it slowly. If you're used to adding sugar, it's not a problem.
