Last Updated: 2024/09/17, It is often mentioned that the altitude determines the flavor of beans. When it comes to beans with high altitude, the impression of outstanding flavor and mellow taste often comes to mind. On the other hand, the beans with low altitude will show the impression of being boring and lack of taste. The cause of this phenomenon has a lot to do with the diurnal temperature difference of beans, soil and water and other time. Because the temperature difference between day and night in high altitude area is larger than that in low altitude area.

It is often mentioned that the altitude determines the flavor of beans. When it comes to beans with high altitude, the impression of outstanding flavor and mellow taste often comes to mind.

On the other hand, the beans with low altitude will show the impression of being boring and lack of taste.

The cause of this phenomenon has a lot to do with the diurnal temperature difference of beans, soil and water and other time. Because the temperature difference between day and night in the high altitude area is larger than that in the low altitude area, and the soil and water conditions are more suitable for the slow growth of beans, the flavor in the high altitude area is better.

Today, I chose to use two kinds of beans, one is more than 1700 meters of Yejia snow coffee water to wash beans, and the other is about 100meters of Vietnam sturdy Robusta beans. There is a deviation between the two beans under the same volume.

It can be seen that with the same volume, the weight of washed Yejia is 681.G, and the weight of sturdy beans is 644.7G, with a mass difference of 5.3%. In other words, the density is 5% less. Assuming that the water content of Yega is 2% higher than that of Robusta, minus the difference of 2%, Yega is still 3% denser than Robusta.

It can be understood that Yega has 3% more flavor than Robusta in the same volume.
