Which coffee beans have flowers in them? How does the smell of flowers come from? Does it have anything to do with baking?

The American Fine Coffee Association has created a complex wheel based on the specific smell and taste dictionaries of the world coffee research team, classifying different aroma notes. The runner has three different levels of coffee flavor granularity.

According to the highest level of versatility of the wheel include fruity, sour / fermented, green / plant, "other", roasted, spices, nuts / cocoa, sweetness and floral aromas. Some specific levels of the flower group include flowers such as roses and jasmine-these smells are found in plant flowers. The names themselves give the impression of a bright, warm and fragrant garden, appropriately reflecting the quality of these flowers. As for jasmine, Ethiopian beans usually have this flavor, but so do Panamanian beans.

The presence and intensity of floral aroma in coffee depends on many factors, including the way the coffee is processed and the degree to which the beans are roasted. Compared with other fragrant notes, the fragrance of flowers is a tenacious combination-even in very dark French baking, it still exists. However, the taste and sweetness of the flower aroma will vary according to the degree of baking. Light baking will produce a very sweet floral aroma and flavor, while dark baking will show a gradual floral fragrance. The floral scent is mainly found in Arabica coffee beans, but robusta coffee beans grown at high altitudes and processed by wet processing also produce floral fragrance. The coffee beans that most often show excellent floral scent are those native to Ethiopia. For those who have had the privilege of enjoying Ethiopia's Yega Chuefei, you may have noticed the fresh and garden-like smell and taste of coffee beans.

The next time you enjoy a single origin in Ethiopia, Kenya or Panama, try to pay attention to the aroma of coffee beans before, during and after brewing. When enjoying coffee, try to pay close attention to the flavor and texture of the coffee. When coffee is already a daily experience, you can enjoy the complexity and nuances of different coffee beans from different places.
