How to choose coffee beans? Friends who have just started coffee may first enter from the coffee brand rankings, thinking that the high-ranking brand must be good coffee. In fact, Qianjie Coffee thinks that whether it is a single bean or Italian bean requirements are fresh, single bean depends on the origin, altitude, processing method, Italian beans see the formula. Coffee brand rankings are only a reference, not absolute, everyone's preferences are different, not the NO.1 in others 'hearts will meet your taste, nor does it mean that ranking high is a good coffee brand, not into the rankings is a bad coffee brand. We need to have this basic understanding first, and then understand coffee in depth.

Choose fresh coffee beans

First of all, the selection of products should be clearly marked with the baking date (not the effective date or shelf life), brand reputation, emphasis on fresh roasting professional coffee roasters to choose and buy. In addition, excellent coffee bags are usually designed with a "one-way exhaust valve" (a button-shaped hole in the top of the coffee bag) for coffee beans to discharge naturally occurring carbon dioxide.

Point the one-way exhaust valve at the nose, gently squeeze the coffee bag and smell the gas. If it is a charming and fragrant coffee aroma, the freshness is not a problem. On the contrary, if it does not smell strong enough, or even smells of smelly oil, it means that this bag of coffee has already gone bad and should be avoided. Every packet of coffee beans sold in Qianjie Coffee is packaged with an one-way exhaust valve to ensure that each packet of coffee beans is in the freshest state to the buyer.

The flavor performance of coffee from different coffee producing areas will be completely different, so how should we choose the coffee beans that suit us? Next, let's talk about the coffee flavor in our common coffee producing areas. Yega Xuefei, a coffee producing area in Ethiopia, is located on the eastern edge of the East African Rift Valley, with complex topography and an elevation of 1800-2000m. It is one of the highest coffee producing areas in Ethiopia on average. Lake Abaya to the west has been a wetland since ancient times, which is rich in water, which also provides a good resource for the Yejiaxuefei water washing treatment plant. Yega Xuefei affiliated Sidamo producing area, because of its unique flavor, has been independent, has its own style, and has become the most famous producing area in Africa. In the memory of many people, Yejia Xuefei has always been a producing area dominated by water washing treatment. Qianjie believes that Yejia Xuefei production area likes to use water washing treatment so much because it can highlight the fragrance of flowers and the acidity of lemon, which brings a little freshness to everyone.

Qianjie believes that the coffee flavor in the producing area ranges from cocoa to fruity with slight acidity. The Panamanian producing area is rich in rose summer coffee varieties, but if the novice buys the jadeite manor directly, the price may be too high. Qianjie recently put on a new blue standard rose summer of the jadeite manor. The blue label rose summer was the first time that the jadeite manor adopted the method of sun treatment in the 2020 production season. This time, the jadeite estate broke through the blue standard coffee which was originally only treated with water washing. It is hoped that consumers can buy the sun rose summer coffee beans of the jadeite manor with low price and high performance-to-price ratio, because in the past, if you want to buy the sun rose summer coffee of the jadeite manor, you can only buy the red mark or the green mark.

This area is surrounded by hills, planted at an altitude of more than 1500 meters, where the most important rivers in Colombia converge, bringing considerable water resources and moisture.

Asian region East of Sumatra, Indonesia: Lindong Mantenin is produced in the Lindong Mountains of north-central Sumatra, near Lake dopa. Qianjie believes that the greatest feature of Mantenin is the aroma of spices and herbs. Lin Dong Mantenin is the conventional version of Mantenin. Lin Dong Mantenin also uses the conventional wet planing method, which creates the characteristics of low sour taste and high mellow degree. However, the situation that will occur when using the wet planing method is that because the semi-hard and semi-soft wet raw beans are easily crushed when the pectin sheep skin is removed, the beans are crushed and split like sheep's hoof-shaped beans, commonly known as sheep's hoof beans, which are not defective beans. It can be said that Mantenin is a very prominent feature. Lin Dong Mantning will not work hard on screening, so there will be situations of different sizes. The infineness of the processing can easily lead to the instability of coffee beans, but it does not detract from the world's love for its mellow flavor.
