The definition and concept of Fine Coffee beans and Fine Coffee

Boutique coffee beans 1. Boutique coffee beans must be high-quality beans with flawless beans. It should have an outstanding flavor, not "no bad taste", but "taste particularly good".

two。 Boutique coffee beans must be excellent varieties, such as the original bourbon species, mocha species and Tippica species. The coffee beans produced by these trees have unique aroma and flavor, which is far from that of other tree species, but the relative yield is low. in recent years, in order to pursue the ability of disease and insect resistance and increase the yield, there have been many improved tree species, such as Kenya to promote a large number of high-yield rurial11 species, but the taste and quality are greatly reduced. Of course, you can't call it "boutique coffee".

3. The growth environment of boutique coffee beans also has higher requirements. Generally grow at an altitude of 1500 meters or even more than 2000 meters above sea level, with appropriate precipitation, sunshine, temperature and soil conditions. Some world-famous coffee beans also have a special geographical environment, such as the alpine clouds in the Blue Mountains, the free shade provided by Kona's afternoon "Flying Cloud", and the volcanic ash soil in Antigua, which provide conditions for the growth of boutique coffee.

4. The best way to harvest high-quality coffee beans is to harvest them manually. That is, only mature coffee fruits are picked to prevent coffee fruits with inconsistent maturity from being picked at the same time. Because those unripe and overripe fruits will affect the balance and stability of coffee taste, boutique coffee needs to be picked frequently and carefully during harvest.

5. High-quality coffee beans are refined by water treatment. The coffee beans with less impurities can be obtained by the water washing method, but if the water quality and time are not properly controlled during the fermentation process, the coffee beans will easily be infected with the sour taste of excessive fermentation. and dry beans also need to pay attention to timely re-inspection to prevent coffee beans from being contaminated by wet ground and sundries. Processed beans should be dried in time, and the drying should also have a certain degree. Generally, the moisture content of processed beans is 11% 13%. Insufficient drying can easily make beans moldy, and excessive drying can easily affect the flavor of beans.

6. Boutique coffee has a strict grading system. In general, raw beans are preserved as "parchment coffee beans" in the form of endocarp after processing, and the endocarp is removed before export. Go through a strict grading process to ensure the uniformity of quality. And its preservation and transportation in the process of protection is very important, such as temperature and humidity control, ventilation control, avoid odor adsorption and so on, if these do not do well, then no matter how high-grade beans will no longer become fine.

Boutique coffee 1. Fine coffee is made from boutique coffee beans. If the beans that make coffee are not boutique coffee beans, the coffee liquid produced cannot be called fine coffee.

two。 Boutique coffee is fresh coffee. Whether it's food or drink, of course, the fresh the better, and so is boutique coffee. High-quality coffee should keep the coffee beans fresh before making, including the preservation of baked beans, and grind the coffee beans into powder before making, which is also to retain its original and best flavor. The hand cannon coffee making method is such a way to make high-quality coffee, and it is also one of the coffee making methods that can best retain the original flavor of coffee.

3. Boutique coffee is good coffee and is harmless to health. Different from coffee made with low-quality coffee beans, high-quality coffee uses high-quality coffee beans and freshly made coffee, which is harmless to health, and drinking in moderation is beneficial to the body and mind.

4. Boutique coffee has a rich and beautiful taste. Even if the coffee made of boutique coffee beans is not all fine coffee, it depends on whether it gives full play to the characteristics of coffee beans, whether it has a good taste, if not, it can not be called boutique coffee.

The development trend of boutique coffee as long as it is delicious coffee, coffee consumers are willing to pay high prices; as long as delicious coffee is provided, consumers will not abandon coffee, and the market will grow. "High-quality coffee represented by boutique coffee is a big business." Coffee producers and consumers have discovered this simple fact.

In recent years, coffee producing countries no longer blindly pursue high output while neglecting quality. Many countries have begun to introduce a new coffee evaluation system in order to arouse the enthusiasm of producers and promote the production of fine coffee. For example, Brazil began to implement the Cup of excellence coffee rating system in 1999 in order to better subdivide boutique coffee. And boutique coffee has become one of the fastest growing markets in the catering service industry, reaching 12.5 billion US dollars in the United States alone in 2007. All these can see the potential of the boutique coffee market, and the boutique coffee market will certainly grow stronger and stronger in the future.
