The champion talks about the rise of the third wave of boutique coffee in the coffee roasting competition

Looking back, I have been in the industry for more than ten years, watching the rise of the third wave of boutique coffee, once, I was also obsessed with re-baking. As a coffee roaster, it is necessary to constantly learn and accept new things. however, I am completely fascinated by the aesthetics of boutique coffee. Daily baking, cup testing and reflection have become a compulsory course. What a boring job it is in the eyes of others, but it is a very exciting job for me. The road to coffee is indeed long, not easy, and good and cherish.

I have been committed to the promotion and popularization of boutique coffee, from raw bean procurement, roasting to cup testing and packaging. Special attention is paid to the regional taste of coffee beans and the traceability of information. There are many other good beans in the store, including the high scores of Ethiopia, Guatemala and other beans that Sweet Maria has snapped up this year. Especially a good one is that Oporal always sells raw beans and cooked beans together.

Shortlisted beans: Nekisse

The baking of the finalists in the Oporal preliminaries is shallow. The self-standard Agtron number is 65. It's the same with the naked eye: I felt a little wrinkled and focused at that time. I'm not sure if it's fully developed. The taste is very good. It was a Nekisse at that time. Nekisse is Essex beans, and we think Nekisse is a suitable bean for standard baking. The taste of Daive baked is close to that of Namuseiro. It smells like caramel coffee. Smooth, balanced. At the same time, the light baking makes the acidity of Nekisse soft and bright, with a hint of cigar smoke accompanied by tropical fruit and a hint of cake. When brewing is very flexible, light then come out black tea flavor, fresh tea flavor, taste is very good.

When it came to the game, due to the problem with the supply of Nekisse, Daive had to replace it with Hachira. He was really sweating for him at that time. Hachira is 1 burst dense again, about 60Agtron. Soak on top of Slayer. The taste is very good. According to Joseph's evaluation, it embodies all the taste characteristics of Hachira.

Baked evenly, the beans are crisp and fragrant. Full of flowers and fruit at the same time. There will be a good acidity between cooling. There is a certain level of complexity.
