There are so many aromas of coffee, how to tell the fragrance of flowers in coffee?

Coffee drinkers must know that most boutique coffee aromas contain floral aromas. But the aroma of coffee is so complex, and there are so many flowers, how do you tell whether a coffee has a floral fragrance and what kind of fragrance it belongs to?

So it is necessary to share with you here, the following is the knowledge that the editor has learned from the exchange with coffee teachers who have been in practice for many years.

First of all, let's take a look at the coffee flavor wheel.

Three kinds of flowers are mentioned here: chamomile, rose and jasmine.

In fact, these three kinds of flowers should be understood as representing the three types of flowers, but not necessarily these three specific fragrances.

1. Chamomile-smelly, slightly choking fragrance, it will be a little pungent at first, representing the fragrance of flowers and sweet-scented osmanthus.

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is more obvious in Polsa, Guatemala.

2. Rose-fragrant type, there is a peaceful and soothing feeling, representing the scent of flowers and lavender.

3. Jasmine-fragrant type, aroma rising and vibrant, representing the fragrance of flowers and coffee flowers. This flower-scented type of coffee is more.

Panamanian blue standard rose summer, Yega Chuefei Erica is the jasmine scent type.

The fragrance of Panamanian jadeite manor red standard rose is not only jasmine, but also rose.

Hartmann, Panama-the red wine treatment is that the coffee has a strong aroma of flowers.

After understanding the different types of flowers, let's focus on how to distinguish the smell of flowers in coffee. After all, the aroma of coffee is very complex, and it is difficult to judge that the smell of flowers is hidden in other aromas of coffee. But what we use today is not the so-called prenasal or posterior nasal cavity reaction, but the nasal frontal sinus! Popular speaking is the feeling of the forehead, as long as according to the feel of the forehead sinus, combined with the smell of aroma, it is relatively easy to tell whether a cup of coffee has the fragrance of flowers, if so, belong to that type.

This theory is based on the summary of the teacher's experience for many years, and through the editor's personal experience, the credibility is still relatively high. As pictured above, when we smell the smell, the odor molecules will fill the sinuses in the nasal cavity, and the sinuses also have olfactory sensory cells, so why some people get dizzy when they smell some odors. We can use this talent to distinguish the fragrance of flowers!

First of all, let's take a look at the smelly type. After entering the nasal cavity, this kind of flower scent first gathers in the frontal sinus, and then goes to the top of the head. If you smell a similar fragrance in the coffee and there is a rising feeling on the top of the head, you can basically be sure that it is a smelly flower.

Then there is the delicate fragrance type, which will gather in your frontal sinus after entering the nasal cavity, forming a feeling of swelling, which will make your eyebrows a little tight, and you will feel a little dizzy when you smell too much. It only gathers on the forehead, not everywhere.

Finally, the fragrance type, this kind of flower fragrance will rush into the frontal sinus after entering the nasal cavity, and then spread out to cheer you up. It won't gather anywhere, so it won't last long. Coffee with a delicate floral scent is usually accompanied by a good fruity aroma.

Of course, everyone has their own judgment of coffee, this is only Xiaobian's own method, there is a kind of flower fragrance is not classified in the above three, but more like some small wild flowers, we should pay attention to discrimination! The sensory training of coffee is long-term and massive. Only by constantly exercising and remembering to form our own taste memory bank can we taste coffee very well.

In addition, the editor would like to explain that most of the flowers belong to the aroma of medium-shallow roasted coffee, and will slowly dissipate with the passage of time, while in coffee brewing, the flower aroma is more likely to be reflected in the wet fragrance, especially at medium temperature to low temperature. You can try to pay more attention to the coffee tasting according to the above. I'm sure you can catch the fragrance of the flowers.
