Black coffee is fragrant, bitter, sour and sweet. The original aroma is the life of the quality of black coffee, and it can best represent the production process and baking technology of black coffee, as well as the climate, variety, harvest, refined treatment, storage and roasting technology of the consuming country, which all determine the aroma of coffee beans. The bitterness of black coffee is the basic taste of black coffee, part of the starch, sugar, fiber caramel and carbonization, to produce the most symbolic bitterness of coffee. Black coffee also has a sour taste, and proper heat to produce a moderate sour taste will make the coffee taste better and make people feel more deep. The sweetness of black coffee complements the bitterness.
