How long is the best taste period for hand-brewed high-quality coffee beans? Can coffee beans still be drunk after the taste period?

As we all know, roasted cooked coffee beans have a taste appreciation period in addition to the shelf life. The so-called tasting period refers to the best tasting period. Using the coffee beans during this period of time can be used to create delicious coffee with very rich layers and outstanding flavors, so generally everyone will try to finish the coffee beans during the taste appreciation period.

But because the vast majority of people drink their coffee during the tasting period, it is inevitable that some friends will be curious about beans that have passed the tasting period: Can the coffee brewed from beans that have passed the tasting period still be drinkable? You can definitely drink it! When stored properly, the roasted coffee beans can last for nearly two months. The shelf life of coffee beans is a full year, so coffee beans that have passed the taste appreciation period can naturally be enjoyed with confidence. When many friends ask "can you drink it", they actually mean "is it good to drink?" Will the coffee brewed from coffee beans that have passed the taste appreciation period taste good?

Of course there is! And the difference will be much smaller than everyone thinks. So next, I'll come from Qianjie to share with you what the difference is between coffee brewed with coffee beans at different times of time ~

The coffee beans used for brewing and sharing this Qianjie comparison are Qianjie Yejia Shefi nuts with different baking dates. One was baked 5 days ago, and the other was baked 2 months ago and then stored in Qianjie. In order to reduce the variables and reduce the differences caused by human brewing, Qianjie will use a cup test to compare the two coffee beans this time. The parameters are as follows: the amount of powder used is 12g, the ratio of powder to water is 1:16, the water temperature is 94°C, and the soaking time is 4 minutes.

Qianjie Yejia Shefei Tintin, which has not been baked for a long time, tastes very rich. We can clearly feel the flavors of jasmine, lemon, berry, apricot peach and green tea. The taste is balanced between sweet and sour, with a full taste, rich layers, and long aftertaste, which is very good; after baking for a while, it also has a balanced sweet and sour taste. The taste is equally full, but the flavor is not so eye-catching. You can only taste the flavors of citrus, berry, and green tea, the aftertaste will be slightly shorter, and the overall level will not be so rich. But it was also delicious, just relatively not as good.

It can be seen that the differences between the two mainly exist in the performance of flavor and the richness of the level, and there is not much difference in other aspects. This is because coffee aroma content caused by different results. Coffee beans have the best taste period because the aroma of coffee beans is volatile. As Qianjie has been sharing, these aromas will begin to evaporate continuously after baking is completed.

The aroma of coffee is the main component of coffee flavor! When the aroma of coffee is abundant, we can more easily taste the flavor of coffee from coffee, and the flavor content will be richer; when the aroma of coffee is scarce, the experience of coffee flavor will be greatly reduced. As shared by Qianjie above, although the taste and taste are not bad, the flavor will not be so prominent and the level will not be so rich.

This is also the reason why Qianjie Coffee has always insisted on selling freshly roasted coffee. When the freshness of the coffee beans is higher, its aroma and experience in all aspects will be better. Therefore, the coffee beans you order from Qianjie Coffee's Taobao or Tmall flagship store will be freshly roasted within a week. The coffee beans you get will have the most complete coffee aroma, and we can break out the most prominent flavor and level. The richest coffee. The above is all the content shared by Qianjie this time! If you don't know how to buy freshly roasted high-quality coffee beans, then you just need to search for "Qianjie Coffee" directly on Taobao or Tmall to buy it.
