Where did the cold coffee come from?

When the Dutch colonists came to Indonesia, they brought coffee seeds. At first, there was only the easy-to-survive species of Roberta, which was very bad to drink.

Fortunately, the creativity of foodie is endless. The Dutch came up with a way to soak the coffee powder in cold water.

The coffee made in this way does not have the bad taste of Robota beans, except that it is a little light and tastes good.

The soaking time is usually about 20 hours.

It was later called cold extract coffee.

Vietnam, which is rich in robusta beans, has a similar way of making, that is, the famous ice droplets.

The picture below is the ice drop coffee pot.

In terms of modern knowledge, it goes like this:

After the coffee beans are ground, the oil and aromatic substances will be emitted at a certain water temperature, but at the same time, some bad flavors will come out. Good beans taste better and taste less bad at the same time.

For example, Rose Summer, fragrant lemon tea taste, mellow and almost not bitter. It was praised as the first place as soon as it came out.

Of course, the price is not cheap, also known as "kneeling".

Back to cold coffee.

From the way cold-extracted coffee is made, we can see that the selected coffee beans do not need to be produced in famous areas that we are familiar with: it is too late for such a good aroma and aroma to be made that day.

Therefore, the selected cold extract comprehensive beans should be a batch of beans with the largest output, stable quality and real price in a certain producing area.

It is said that Yunnan coffee is a supplier to Starbucks.

As for limited supply, it is even easier.

Because cold coffee needs to be soaked in cold water for 20 hours.

Who knows how much it will sell in 20 hours, so the partners made a vat until it was sold out.

So it was limited.

It tastes good. But no matter how the taste is preferred, the quality is also necessary.

We have to pay for the ice water made of ordinary coffee beans, which is quite expensive.

When manors and bakers around the world spend a lot of energy studying how to balance tastes.

Starbucks made a cup of ice water with cheap beans and a traditional way, and made a lot of money.

This is to make a fortune in silence.
