Qianjie-Coffee flavor introduction

Aroma

Fragrance dry aroma, coffee is ground into powder before the volatile aroma emitted before brewing in hot water, aroma wet fragrance, gasification fragrance produced after hot water brewing.

In the process of grinding coffee beans, you will smell the obvious aroma, which is the first impression of this coffee. When the hot water comes into contact with the coffee powder, the aroma will be filled with it. Flowers, nuts, caramel, chocolate.

This olfactory experience is similar to sniffing at the perfume counter. You may not be able to tell the exact smell at first, but you can feel that the oncoming aroma is pleasant and comfortable, without the smell of sour rot.

Sour

The coffee beans extracted from coffee are the seeds of the fruit coffee cherry. Therefore, there will be fruit-conditioned acids in the coffee. The acids in coffee are divided into organic acids and inorganic acids, and the acidity we taste mainly comes from quinic acid caused by roasting.

Charming sour drink will feel bright, rich, lively, with the freshness of fruit. If the acid you drink is like nibbling on unripe lemons or drinking a tablespoon of vinegar, if you're not a heavy fan of old vinegar, change this coffee as soon as possible.

Sweet

Raw coffee beans contain 6%-9% sucrose. During baking, sucrose is pyrolyzed into glucose and fructose at about 130 ~ 170 degrees Celsius, releasing aroma and carbon dioxide, and monosaccharides are continuously polymerized and concentrated above 180 degrees Celsius to form darker medium molecular weight caramel. Of course, the sweetness in coffee is not like the sweetness of drinking sugar water, but more like the scorched sweetness of black sugar.

Yu Yun (Aftertaste)

After drinking a cup of coffee, there will be aroma and flavor between lips and teeth, let people aftertaste, this is the beauty of good coffee. If what you feel in your mouth is the astringency of drinking tea with more tea, the flavor of coffee will be greatly reduced.

Alcohol thickness (body)

Coffee liquid is a special taste created by oil, carbohydrate, fiber or gum. Good coffee will make people feel full and smooth in the mouth, rather than a thin sense of water. This is probably similar to the taste difference between stewed chicken soup for 12 hours or hot water with thick soup.

Degree of equilibrium (Balance)

Balance refers to whether the overall flavor of a coffee can be perfectly integrated, and a certain item that is too prominent or too weak will affect the overall drinking experience of this coffee. After all, drinking coffee is the overall sensory feeling, balance is still very important.
