Qianjie-Asian Coffee Origin Introduction

Since coffee was introduced to Asia, it has shown its strong and steady side. Asian coffee beans have a dense texture, a strong sense of thickness, a strong sweet and round taste, and a conservative aroma and acidity. However, the unrestrained feeling is not the strength of Asian beans. Asian beans emphasize the large and thick taste like the bottom of the pyramid; it is the aroma of the coffee that has not yet been tasted.

Asian beans are processed by washing and semi-washing, so the grain size of raw beans is also very uniform. Some raw beans processed by semi-washing will be darker in color than those processed by other methods. In fact, high-quality Asian beans can also show sufficient flavor and soft fruit acidity under light roasting. It is generally known that Indonesia, Yemen, India, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea in Asia have selected coffee production.
