How to taste the aftertaste of hand-brewed coffee? Why is Italian concentrated oil so fragrant? What is the coffee tasting process?

We will taste a cup of coffee from many angles, aroma, taste, taste, aftertaste and so on. In fact, it is not only coffee, but also for other drinks (tea, wine). But perhaps many friends will focus on the perception of aroma and flavor, completely ignore the experience of Yu Yun, but do not realize that Yu Yun is also very important for a cup of coffee.

In the scoring section of the coffee cup test, there is Yu Yun this item. Even if the coffee itself has a more prominent taste, but if it does not have any good aftertaste, then this cup of coffee will not get a high score. So we can see that the rhyme is very important for a cup of coffee. But the reason why many friends will ignore it is not deliberately, just because the existence of Yuyun itself is difficult to be detected, need certain tricks to feel the beauty of Yuyun! So today, Qianjie will share how to feel Yu Yun!

As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles. If we want to feel Yu Yun clearly, then we must first know what Yu Yun is!

What is Yu Yun? To put it simply, it is the taste, aroma and taste that suddenly occur in our mouth after we swallow the coffee. This feeling is "aftertaste". The taste and aroma we feel before swallowing coffee is very obvious and direct, while the afterrhyme is a little weak in comparison, so we need to feel it carefully before we can roughly find out the taste and aroma.

Take one of the common chestnuts in life and you can understand it! When we eat durian, we can feel the strong aroma and taste of durian, and after swallowing, the mouth will still have this aroma for a long time, and this is Yuyun! It is easy to understand when the protagonist is replaced by coffee! Of course, coffee doesn't have the impact of durian.

How is the remaining rhyme formed? As mentioned earlier, the performance of Yuyun has aroma, taste and taste, which represent the experience felt by different senses after swallowing coffee. Among them, the aroma accounts for the vast majority, and the remaining rhyme is shown in the mouth, that is to say, most of the remaining rhyme of coffee comes from the sense of smell behind the nose to the aroma of coffee. Because there are a lot of oil-soluble aromatic substances in coffee, they are insoluble in water, after we drink coffee, some of the coffee oil will remain in our mouth, and when these oils dissipate, the aromatic substances will begin to show. And then it will be caught by our sense of smell behind the nose! Like many times, we will feel an aroma coming out of the throat is the same reason.

Therefore, if we want to feel more aftertaste, we can shut up and breathe back after swallowing the coffee, send the aroma out of the nasal tube in the mouth, and then sense it through the sense of smell. in this way, we can feel the existence of the aftertaste to the maximum extent! Of course, not only the sense of smell, but also the sense of taste and touch should be combined to feel the taste and taste. The combination of the three is the essence of Yuyun. But it is important to know that although the rhyme is very important, not all the rhymes are good!

Yu Yun is also good and bad? The criteria for judging the quality of Yuyun are mainly divided into three aspects, first let's talk about the taste! A good aftertaste will have different positive flavors such as floral aroma, honey, caramel and tea, which will change according to the roasting degree of coffee beans, while a bad afterrhyme will have unpleasant negative flavors such as bitterness, acidity and excessive fermentation.

The second is the taste! A good aftertaste will be very smooth, with a more obvious return to sweet, without any unpleasant feelings, while a bad aftertaste will appear dry, rough, stuck throat and other very unpleasant feelings. The last is the duration, which is very important! As we said, there is a rhyme and no rhyme means that its time is long and short, because according to reason, coffee has a rhyme! It's just short. The longer the rhyme lasts, the more substances it contains, the better it will be, and vice versa! It should be noted that the lasting time of different types of coffee is different. For example, espresso in very high concentration, if it has a good aftertaste, then the aroma and taste can remain in the mouth for more than ten minutes! If it is hand-brewed coffee, then no matter how high the aftertaste is, the duration will not be too long.
