Qianjie-A brief introduction to coffee, beans and awakening beans

"appreciation period"

Are you still looking at the expiration date on the package before you buy the coffee? We want to tell you another important thing: the best taste period of coffee is not equal to the shelf life, you should pay attention to the baking time.

Although the taste of roasted coffee beans will change over time in the next 1-2 weeks, we will take an extra journey to witness the ups and downs of coffee, and we usually get the best taste in about a week. Is the tasting period of coffee beans 15 days? From the experience of the baker, the taste period of coffee beans is about 15-30 days (depending on the baking degree), that is, after the bean cultivation period, it is the best taste period within 7-20 days from the baking date.

"bean cultivation period"

The process of waiting for taste is the so-called cultivation of beans (usually single beans for 4-7 days and Italian beans for 7-10 days), which is similar to red wine that needs moderate oxidation to become smooth and layered after opening the bottle, but after a long time, the wine will turn sour again. Freshly fried coffee beans sometimes have grassy, peasy, which will disappear the next night. On the other hand, new beans smell like baked bread, and people who insist on raising beans may not have tasted them.

"awakening period"

Make the remaining CO2 in the coffee beans escape, and use the principle of oxidation to make the flavor more round and smooth. In order to remove the uncomfortable bitter taste of deep baked beans, the awakening time can be lengthened. If shallow baked beans have enough time to raise beans, the flavor has been fully developed. If the awakening time is too long, the aroma of coffee beans will be lost and the taste will be insipid.

Therefore, the time to wake up beans is inversely proportional to the time to raise beans.

Knowledge: the source of aroma and flavor of coffee is highly volatile. So the longer the coffee beans are stored, the more aroma and flavor will be lost.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
