High-quality coffee not only contains a strong aroma of flowers and fruits, but also a mixture of sweet and sour. After tasting, the mouth will be clean and comfortable, give birth to fluid quickly, and the cheek teeth will stay fragrant and intriguing.

Compared with Chinese tea, the same work is different, but it is more colorful.

"when you bake beans, do you add some essential oil? otherwise, why is the coffee so smooth and rich in flavor?"

We have received such questions countless times.

Yes, is there coffee in the fragrance of flowers or coffee in the scent of flowers?

The flavor of coffee bothers many students. How can I not drink so many flavors on the flavor table? ~ after all, not everyone has a professional feeling, or I drink not peach flavor but plum flavor. The reason why there is such a difference is the difference in life, culture, diet, regions and different descriptions of the same cup of coffee, so the most important thing in coffee taste evaluation is communication. Tell me how you feel about this bean, and your experience must be different, but this kind of communication can bring a lot of fun, isn't it?

To give a simple example of the flavor wheel of SCA coffee, the chocolate aroma reflected in Mena's reaction, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate, can really tell the difference between these three chocolate flavors if they are not specially trained or have a high level of taste.

To understand coffee, you need three conditions:

First: have you ever experienced a similar sense of taste and smell? If you haven't eaten peaches, of course you can't taste peaches.

The second: it is recommended that you wait until the coffee is completely cold before tasting it, because usually the fruit tonality of the coffee will not be recognized until it is cold, and the coffee flavor will unfold as the temperature drops.

Third: the thickness of coffee will also affect the tonality of a cup of coffee. If it is a shallow roasted coffee with floral flavor, it is recommended to dilute it and open the taste spectrum, so that it is easier to find the flavor.

For example, to taste a good cup of coffee, steps:

Drink coffee with a small sip, drink slowly, or even gargle and gently stir the coffee liquid in your mouth.

Each mouthful will spread out with the change of temperature, and the roots of the first two tongues will be bitter. When the coffee temperature is cold, it will slowly change from bitter to sour, subtle citrus acid.

In the middle of the drink, the coffee changes from sour to sweet, from bitter to sweet, begins to taste sweet, has a sweet taste on the tongue, and finally has a sweet aftertaste to caramel, staying between the mouth and nose, tasting the aftertaste of coffee through the sense of smell behind the nose.

Do not rush to wash the cup after drinking, to smell the sweetness of the bottom of the cup.

The brain receives information ➡ for comparison, ➡ analysis of ➡ memory (the whole process)

We can smell a smell, taste a taste, but maybe we can't describe it very accurately. On the other hand, the flavor wheel can systematize and classify all the tastes perceived by humans, & # 39; often practice can clearly perceive the tiniest differences among all odors.
