How to become a coffee connoisseur

Taste the coffee, not only drink it, but also smell it. Although there is no absolute formula for judging whether coffee is good or bad, mastering the following four connoisseur principles will still help you understand and taste coffee:

* acidity (Acidity)

After the coffee is imported, the taste of leaving it on the tip of the tongue. The word "sour" looks eye-catching, but in fact, the original flavor and fresh vitality of coffee beans, like wine, are contained in its sour taste. The acidity of fresh coffee, with its fruity aroma, is like the natural acidity found in lemons, grapes, apples and other fruits. It tastes pleasant and fresh, and must be different from sour, another word used to describe expired coffee. Among the coffee, Yemen "mocha" coffee is famous for its strong acidity.

* texture (Body)

The taste feeling that lingers on the back of the tongue and mouth after sipping coffee-is it strong or light? Mellow coffee, even if the concentration of coffee powder is not high, can still bring strong taste shock. Generally speaking, black Coffee has the lightest taste, while Sumatra (Manning) coffee has the strongest texture. Heavy-flavored coffee is best mixed with milk, highlighting its mellow taste that cannot be concealed.

* fragrance (Aroma)

The mellow smell of coffee in the wandering air. From roasting, grinding to brewing, coffee beans try their best to release their fragrance at every stop of its long journey. Therefore, you might as well make good use of your sense of smell and experience this fragrant journey with coffee.

* flavor (Flavor)

Connect the above three to form a coffee impression. Some coffee has a variety of flavors, sour, sweet and bitter, while others are extremely sour, completely occupying your sense of smell and taste. There are also people who are used to using "feeling" to dominate judgment-does coffee have its own style? Does it have a unique forest or fruit aroma? Is your temperament gentle or masculine? This is the most intimate and emotional stop in all the tasting processes.
