The magic of coffee is not just in small cups.

◎ Coffee experiment it takes 5 years to make a cup of coffee

Required conditions: from the cultivation to the cup more than 10 links can not be less.

Don't underestimate a cup of coffee, each cup of coffee takes about 5 years to enjoy for you. In order to make a good cup of coffee, in addition to these 5 years (from cultivation to picking), there are about 10 steps between picking and quenching. Picking-peeling-soaking-drying-peeling-screening-baking-grinding-quenching (some will add other processes). A simple baking process has many degrees, such as shallowness, medium depth, medium depth and so on. You may think a good cup of coffee is about to make its debut here, but it's not that easy. Li Yanmin said that four points must be strictly controlled here: baking, grinding, quenching time and water temperature. These four points are the key to the taste of coffee. If one step is not done, the taste of the coffee is not what you want. Due to the low pressure in Yunnan, boiled water is generally between 92 and 95 ℃, which is very suitable.

He explained that incense refers to its unique aroma, a combination of nutty, vanilla, chocolate, etc.; sweet, long-lasting aftertaste; pure, pure, refreshing, no miscellaneous taste, no strange taste, smooth, that is, the sublimation of fragrance; sour, refers to the sour taste of tannin in coffee beans, the taste is close to acid, but is very pure, unique, not exciting, and will decrease with baking; bitter refers to the bitter taste of coffee beans themselves.

Let the taste buds stretch completely

A good cup of coffee is already in front of you, maybe you are eager to try it, and you are going to try it first. But before drinking, it is better to know the skills of tasting coffee, which is more helpful for you to understand the culture behind coffee.

What's the skill? Pan Longjun and Li Wending, who are in charge of the bar and outside the Cafe Dragon House in Hong Kong, said that there are mainly six steps:

Step1 drinks warm water. Let the taste buds stretch while gargling, so that you can accurately taste the characteristics of the coffee.

Step2, look at the color. Observe the color of the coffee, understand and remember.

Step3, smell it. Smell the coffee and feel it.

Step4 tastes the characteristic. Take a sip and experience its characteristics.

Step5 is going to stay. Don't swallow in your mouth. Stay in your mouth for a second or two before swallowing. Only in this way can we taste the real taste of it.

Step6 should take advantage of the heat. Don't think that when you get to the coffee shop, you will finish your coffee. You can sit down, but you'd better finish your coffee in 15 minutes. Because it tastes purest at 65-70 degrees. When it is cold, the sour taste will stand out and the taste will be greatly reduced.
