Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

When I came to Bali this time, I spent some time buying some gold coffee from Bali, Indonesia.

To make a comparison, of course, only represents personal preferences, only for everyone to buy, as a reference!

How did the name Golden Coffee come from? I can't find any powerful relevant information for a long time. If anyone knows, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The so-called golden coffee refers to the improved coffee varieties peculiar to Bali. The coffee trees of the most common "Arabica" variety in the world are grafted onto the branches and leaves of the "Robusta" variety, which belongs to the smaller bean species.

Several principles for the selection of the tested group:

1. Only compare coffee beans, coffee powder due to congenital preservation conditions are poor, coupled with the packaging are only plastic bags as inner bags, aroma is more likely to lose, so only with relatively loose preservation conditions of coffee beans as a comparison, but it is recommended to try to choose a relatively new manufacturing date, and as soon as you return home, it is appropriate to put it in an appropriate container or refrigerator.

two。 Easy to get, this should be the most important, when no one is on vacation, want to spend time asking questions?

3. Don't be too expensive. Don't exceed NT500 per pound. After all, you can buy good beans in Taiwan at this price.

4. To be fair, they all take normal beans as the target, not compared with the so-called public beans (although I think public beans taste better).

So in the end, what I bought and drank was

1.Butterfly Globe (purchased from Wubu supermarket)

2.Kopi Bali (DISCOVERY mall)

3.Golden rabbits (specialty store)

4.Boma Bali (Matahari Department Store)

I originally wanted to find a lot of Golden Kirin and Little Sheep that the tour group would visit, but I asked many locals that they didn't know it, so I had to give up. It was also easy to find the Golden Rabbit, which is often visited by the tour group, on the way to ULUWATU, near the InterContinental Hotel.

Evaluation method:

1. Grind the raw beans with a Pegasus grinder with a scale of 3.5 degrees.

two。 In order to compare the more meticulous taste, the continuous water bubbling method was used.

3. Use filter paper, no filter cloth, avoid taste residue, water temperature 87 degrees, bean water ratio 1: 10

The result of the evaluation:

Butterfly Globe: the best recommendation for self-use!

For some reason, I only found the packaging of coffee beans in Wubu supermarket, and only coffee powder was sold in other places!

Baking: Full city+

It is easy to peel, the freshness is OK, the baking is suitable, and there is little difference between inside and outside.

Palate: slightly bitter, slightly oily, but not hindering the mouth, full-bodied, sweet and quick.

Feeling: it is the oldest local brand, it is really good, and the price is cheap, but it is a pity that the packaging only uses paper + plastic bags. If it can be changed into an one-way breathable valve, it will definitely add a lot of points.

KOPI BALI Best Officer Gift recommendation!

Of all the brands, the packaging has the most sense of design, and this alone is worth buying, coupled with the fact that the inner bag is an aluminum foil bag, which is more sincere than plastic bags. KOPI Bali seems to be the same company as Butterfly Globe, and KOPI Bali is a younger Brend, taking a high-quality route.

Baking: Full city

Aroma: ★★★★

It is easy to peel off, and the freshness is very good. Sure enough, the aluminum foil bag is poor, but it still needs to be properly preserved after opening, and the baking control is slightly poor.

Palate: slightly sour, no bitterness, insufficient bottom of the mouth, light sweet taste.

Feeling: the aroma is obvious, the only bag has a sense of aroma, can smell a touch of fruit, there are a large number of bubbles when steaming to see its freshness, but it is a pity that the taste level is not obvious, but it is still worth a try. I think it's a good gift for family and friends, because it's so textured.

Golden rabbits: the best … Chinese explanation, people are not close to the soil, the soil is not close to good bad words make sense!

Baking: no, it looks like Dark

Aroma: ★★

Beans are obviously bigger than the other three, it should be the relationship between varieties, baked really. The outside coke is mottled inside, come on!

Taste: a little bitter, after drinking it, the taste is slightly heavy, and the taste is strong. Similar to the taste of tobacco, a little strange, the level is not enough, it is palatable, and the sense of sweetness is medium and low.

Feeling: in fact, I didn't expect the coffee at Shopping station, and when I saw that his beans were not roasted well, I deducted points first, but the actual taste was not too bad. It is recommended not to do a single product, but to do a fancy base.

Doma Bali: the best good man for card friends only

Baking: I really don't know how to write this. Read it for yourself!

Aroma: ★

It's insincere to bake like this!

Taste: slightly bitter, not sour, unwilling, simply like mixed-brand instant coffee.

Feelings: there are only two reasons to buy it, one is that it often appears in my line of sight, and the other is that it is too cheap. I want to say that there are always some unfamiliar friends and neighbors, which is an economic choice.

.

Conclusion: regardless of the beans themselves or the baking technology, Indonesian coffee suffers a great loss in packaging, and the aroma dissipates quickly. at this price level, the packaging bought in Taiwan has a simple air valve, and he is still a plastic bag. For Butterfly Globe and KOPI BALI, it is a bit of an outburst. Generally speaking, I personally think Indonesian coffee is good to taste once in a while, and it is also suitable for relatives and friends. It's nerve-racking to buy too much just for preservation. Here my throat itches again. Let's make a cup of mamba. Half a pound in Hsinchu costs only 300, and you can make an appointment with your boss about baking time for beans. It's 100% fresh!
