Coffee beans believe that everyone is no stranger to beans, and if you want to drink good quality coffee, you can't do without choosing this gate. When you come to Qianjie Coffee, there are dozens of coffee varieties. In the face of so many kinds of coffee beans, how can you choose the right coffee beans?

First of all, you may want to know what kind of coffee you like, such as sour coffee, bitter coffee, or balanced coffee, then you have to look at beans from different producing areas.

Coffee belongs to plants, and coffee grown in different places has different flavors. The large area can be roughly divided into African beans, American beans, Asian beans and island beans.

The most obvious flavor of African beans is lemon, citrus, berries and flowers. It specifically represents the state-owned Ethiopia and Kenya.

The most distinctive flavor of American beans is clean, citrus or nuts, chocolate, and a sense of balance. As the American coffee is later artificially planted, its quality level will be relatively high, the balance is very good. The specific representative countries are Brazil and Colombia.

The flavor of Asian beans is characterized by black tea, chocolate, nuts, herbs and mellow. The specific representative country is Indonesia.

Island beans refers to growing in a relatively small area of the island, the general micro-climate of island coffee will form a different flavor from mainland coffee. Also because some of the more famous island coffee use advanced management planting technology, coupled with limited production, the formation of a unique and expensive coffee. For example, Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica, Kona Coffee in Hawaii, and St. Helena Coffee (famous for Napoleon).

Next, the treatment of coffee beans will also affect the different flavor of coffee, and different coffee treatments will show different coffee flavor. the common coffee treatments are sun treatment, washing treatment and honey treatment. The beans treated with water will taste clean, fresh, bright and sour. On the other hand, the sweetness of sun-dried beans will be obvious and rich in layers. Honey-treated coffee beans are very sweet and soft.

Another thing that will affect the coffee flavor is the roasting of coffee beans. The lighter the roasting degree, the richer the aroma and coffee flavor. With the deeper the roasting degree of coffee, the more obvious the reaction between caramelization and Mena. The more obvious the caramel and bitterness. Therefore, in terms of baking degree, if you want to feel more fruit and flower aroma, you can choose medium and shallow roasted coffee, and if you want to be mellow, thick and sweet, you can choose medium and deep roasted coffee.

Finally, these suggestions on Qianjie Coffee hope to help you who love coffee, understand the nature of the producing area of coffee beans, the treatment and the depth of roasting, then spare no effort to choose your favorite coffee beans.
