What kind of coffee can be called fine coffee and what kind of coffee is it?
As a proper term, coffee tasting (Specialty Coffee) was first put forward by Ms. Erna Knustsen, who is known as the godmother of boutique coffee, in the Tea and Coffee monthly (Tea& Coffee Trade Journal) in 1974, which showed that "only in the most favorable microclimate and soil and water can we cultivate high-quality coffee with unique flavor". The aim is to distinguish it from the commercial coffee in New York futures market.
In 1972, Ms. Knudsen co-founded the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA,Specialty Coffee Association of America) with six others, including Donald N. Schoenholt, and the word "specialty coffee" became a global language. Knudsen has always been opposed to the coffee industry blindly pursuing the invariance and monotonicity of flavor with low-cost formula beans, ignoring the unique "Terroir" of coffee from different producing areas, that is, different soil, variety, climate, and soil and water, resulting in different coffee flavor, which is the soul of fine coffee. Without the unique regional flavor, it is not fine coffee, but ordinary commercial beans or canned coffee (large canned coffee beans or powder).
Ms. Knudsen first put forward the concept of boutique coffee, emphasizing the relationship between upstream planting environment and coffee quality. Today, the American Fine Coffee Association has redefined the concept of boutique coffee:
Carefully select the most suitable variety and plant it in the altitude, climate, soil and water environment that is most conducive to the development of coffee flavor. Careful washing and sun processing, select the most advanced raw beans without defects, and deliver them to customers with zero defects in the transportation process. After the superb craftsmanship of the roaster, it leads to the richest regional flavor, and then brews delicious coffee in a recognized way of extraction.
According to this definition, the connotation of fine coffee not only includes the most core factor of planting environment, but also includes three key processes: raw bean treatment process, baking process and extraction (brewing) process. In short, high-quality coffee should be a trinity of "good raw beans, good roasting and good extraction".
