I do not know if you have this sub-experience: obsessed with boutique coffee, full of pious hands to make a cup of boutique coffee for friends to taste, friends take a sip, but the brow gently Zou: "Hmm ~ so sour!" What's so special about this coffee? ". Even if you rack your brains to explain the introduction to him for most of the day, then he is just "mm-hmm, oh, oh, oh. "

Or, you are recently the newcomer to the boutique coffee ring powder, carefully selected a whole set of hand flushing utensils, and then cheered to open a treasure that wanted to choose his first boutique beans, but couldn't start with a screen full of "boutique coffee beans".

Today, the editor will come to share with you how to introduce boutique coffee to friends and how to introduce people to keng. By the way, you can also learn how to choose boutique beans that suit you.

Smell and taste are great navigators

This is not to say that people who know how to taste high-quality coffee will necessarily have more taste buds or olfactory cells than other people, but that they know how to distinguish the complex taste between smelling and drinking after a long time of taste and practice. So it is normal for people who are just beginning to come into contact with boutique coffee if they are unable to drink the taste description of the coffee by professional cup testers.

The following are common daily situations in cafes:

Barista: "this cup of coffee has the aroma of jasmine, a touch of citric acid, and a multi-layered smell of tropical fruit." What do you think? "

Novice customer: "well... . Sweet and sour. "

So, when introducing friends to drink boutique coffee, or recommending it to beginners for the first time, you might as well cut in from several different directions.

First of all, we recommend super distinctive coffee beans.

Such as very obvious aroma of coffee-rum barrel fermentation processing coffee beans, this coffee bean just after grinding, the whole room will be full of wine aroma, brewing and drinking entrance, will also obviously feel the aroma of rum, very suitable for friends who love to drink!

This unusual flavor of coffee will also give friends a refreshing feeling: "Wow!" It turns out that coffee still tastes like this! "first break the novice stereotype that coffee is either sour or bitter, and then evoke their infinite imagination of fine coffee!

The second is the type of boutique coffee after bitterness.

For example, PWN Gold Mantenin and aged Mantenin beans all have this flavor, because these boutique coffee beans and hanging ear coffee are usually deeply roasted, sour, slightly bitter and thick, with a sweet finish, which is close to the coffee on the market. But it will bring a lot of surprises that are different from ordinary coffee!

For most Chinese, sour drinks are not very popular. On the contrary, because they are used to drinking tea, it is easier to accept the bitter coffee flavor.

The third kind is fine coffee with sweet taste.

Coffee beans such as honey-treated or refined sun-treated coffee beans are usually more sweet (of course, the degree of honey treatment is also different), which is very suitable for inviting girls to drink, showing your broad and profound knowledge of coffee. Compared with commercial coffee beans (most commercial coffee beans are washed or half-sunburned), this type of coffee has many layers of aroma and taste, and its acidity is not obvious, so it is suitable for girls who are afraid to touch black coffee.

The fourth is fine coffee with a refreshing taste.

Compared with the more mellow coffee, the refreshing taste of coffee is very suitable for a cup when you are in a good mood, such as most African water-washed boutique beans, shallow-baked Yega Chefe or Kenyan AA, with fresh and bright acidity, with a slight sense of tea in the throat, take a nap in the morning or afternoon, listen to relaxed music and feel the elegance of coffee.

If you are not afraid of sour, or already like sour, you can try the last one: sweet and sour boutique coffee with good taste.

The editor most recommends the rose summer coffee from Panama. The Central American coffee beans themselves are sour and sweet with rich layers, while the rose summer varieties have more acidity, and the aroma explodes without losing the mellow taste. Whether it is washing in the sun or honey treatment, it is a delicious treat to drink.

In addition, the editor suggests that when tasting boutique coffee, you can try to sip it slowly from hot to cold, and taste the process that the flavor changes with the temperature, which is very interesting.

The weather is going to get cold soon, so you might as well make a cup of boutique coffee for your partner, friends or family when you are free.
