The appearance of BLENDS is not necessarily gorgeous.

The process of development may not be glorious.

But today Timade is too beautiful coffee.

I need to say something fair for it.

Mixed beans are made from a mixture of coffee beans from different regions or countries, while individual coffee comes from a single country, a farm or even the same piece of land on a farm. Which kind of beans is more satisfying? Throughout the history of coffee, the two concepts have been in a game, and individual coffee should have the upper hand at present.

However, if you only focus on individual coffee, it is like a restaurant with only Burgundy on its wine list. As a good restaurant, there should be a rich selection of red wines on the wine list, as well as other wines of different types and prices.

Sometimes, what people want is simple, stable and delicious coffee, which can be done with a good mix.

1. What is blended coffee

Single coffee refers to coffee beans of single variety, single origin, or single roasting degree.

Blended coffee refers to coffee beans of different varieties, different producing areas, or different roasting degrees, which are generally combined by 2 or 5 kinds of coffee beans according to a certain need.

Blended coffee usually does not take the 1:1 blending ratio, because this may suppress each other's unique flavor, so the blending must be primary and secondary in order to produce a better taste than a single coffee.

2. Why do you match?

Different coffee beans have different personalities because of different varieties and producing areas, and there are subtle differences in sour, bitter, sweet, aroma and mellow thickness. Single coffee beans tend to show the unique characteristics of a certain kind of coffee.

And the blending of coffee, a variety of individual coffee beans mixed together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, learn from each other, or complement each other in taste, or strengthen, so as to create a richer new taste of coffee.

The purpose of matching is generally

Unique flavor: for those who drink any kind of coffee can not satisfy their taste, or some businesses, in order to have their own unique flavor of coffee beans, will mix several kinds of coffee beans.

Balanced taste: the espresso machine has a feature that magnifies the most prominent flavor feature of coffee beans, so it is almost impossible to use a single variety of coffee beans to make espresso, otherwise if that coffee bean is bitter, the espresso made will be extremely bitter and sour. Therefore, it needs to be matched to balance all kinds of flavors.

Stable flavor: because coffee beans are a kind of crop, the flavor of coffee beans in the same producing area will be different from year to year, so mixing several kinds of coffee beans can solve this problem very well. can keep the flavor basically the same every year.
