With the aggravation of environmental pollution and people's attention to health, organic food is becoming more and more popular, and coffee is no exception. In addition to the taste, drinking organic coffee is not only a responsibility for health and the environment, but also an organic attitude towards life.

Production of Organic Coffee

Organic coffee is made of beans grown in the shade of trees. Although the yield of the method of planting in the shade is not high, its quality can reach the level of gourmet coffee.

This is because shading trees can slow down the ripening of coffee trees, give coffee full growth, and make it contain more natural ingredients, better taste and less caffeine.

Organic coffee does not use any insecticides or other chemicals to treat diseases and insect pests or cultivation problems, but uses natural methods, such as natural composting, hedgerow, pruning, and so on, to maintain the growth of coffee trees.

Selection of organic coffee beans

Choose fresh coffee beans. When buying, pay attention to whether the color of the beans and the size of the particles are the same. Good coffee beans are shiny and have a strong aroma without being mixed with peculiar smell.

No matter what kind of coffee beans, freshness is an important factor affecting the quality. When shopping, grab one or two coffee beans in your mouth and chew them with a crisp sound (indicating that the coffee is not damp) and the fragrance of the teeth and cheeks is the top grade, but it is best to squeeze it with your hands to feel whether it is solid, rather than buying crispy coffee.

If the coffee bean has lost its fragrance or smells stale, it means that the coffee bean is no longer fresh and is not suitable for purchase. Freshly fried coffee beans are not suitable for immediate consumption and should be stored for a week to completely release the gas from the beans.

Generally speaking, the best drinking period for coffee is a week after stir-frying, when the coffee beans are the freshest and the aroma and taste are the best.

The purity of coffee beans is also another consideration. The expert candidate for coffee is not necessarily to look at the size of the particles, but to grab a handful of individual coffee beans, about dozens of portions, to see whether the color of each single bean is the same. whether the particles are similar in size and shape, so as to avoid buying shoddy products disguised as mixed beans.

In addition, heavy heat and medium-deep roasting will cause coffee beans to produce oil, but if the lightly roasted beans produce oil, they have gone bad, not only reducing aroma, but also astringent and sour taste.

In short, when buying coffee, we should pay attention to its freshness, aroma and whether it is stale or not, and the ideal purchase quantity is to be able to drink it in half a month.

The taste of organic coffee

When it comes to the taste difference between organic coffee and ordinary coffee, ordinary people may not be able to drink it. But there is no lack of experienced coffee fans who can tell the difference between organic coffee and ordinary coffee.

Organic coffee is free of pesticides and tastes fresher and purer. The taste of coffee is not only related to the environment, altitude and roasting degree of coffee beans, but also related to the way it is made.

In the final analysis, coffee is a drink, and good coffee is used to drink to please the taste buds, not to show off, to please the eyes, to show off your identity. In the final analysis, what really pleases the mouth and touches the heart is the true taste.

Of course, many things have two sides. There are many advantages and disadvantages of drinking coffee. Drinking a moderate amount of coffee does not have much adverse effect. Coffee as a drink, when drinking, should be enough according to the individual situation.

When you drink a cup of non-organic coffee it may be full of chemicals. This is not only bad for you, but also bad for farmers in coffee-growing areas and tropical ecosystems. Drink organic coffee and slowly taste the taste buds it brings.
