Indonesian coffee on the island of Sulawesi between Borneo and New Guinea

At present, there is no clear judgment standard of fine coffee in the international community. Here, we will briefly explain the standards of the American Fine Coffee Association and the basic standards of coffee producing countries.

American Fine Coffee Association Standard:

1. Whether it has rich dry aroma (Fragrance). The so-called dry aroma refers to the aroma of roasted or ground coffee.

two。 Whether it has rich wet aroma (Aroma). Wet aroma refers to the aroma of coffee extract.

3. Whether it has rich acidity (Acidity). It refers to the sour taste of coffee, the combination of rich sour taste and sugar can increase the sweet taste of coffee liquid.

4. Whether it has rich alcohol thickness (Body). It refers to the concentration and weight of the coffee liquid.

5. Whether it has rich afterrhyme (Aftertaste). It refers to the afterrhyme of coffee, which is evaluated according to the flavor after drinking or spitting.

6. Whether it has rich taste (Flavor). Refers to the taste, the upper palate to feel the aroma and taste of coffee, to understand the taste of coffee.

7. Whether the taste is balanced or not. Refers to the degree of balance and combination between the various flavors of coffee.

The island of Sulawesi, located between Brneo and New Guinea, is sometimes called Celebes. The coffee produced on the island is full of grains and rich in flavor. The best coffee beans come from Kalossi and Rantepao in the southern part of the island. In many brands, try Celebes Carosi Coffee.

One of the main coffee producers in New Guinea is the Sigri plantation, whose products are the same as the overall style of archipelago coffee, full of particles and well balanced.

On the whole, Indonesian coffee has a strong flavor, mellow taste, slightly syrup flavor and excellent acidity, and its two main export markets are Germany and Japan, which reflects the excellent quality of the coffee. What attracts consumers is the unique quality of its Arabica coffee beans. You can add milk or cream to high-quality Indonesian coffee without worrying about affecting its taste. Indonesian coffee is divided into six grades, the best of which is AP. But no one is sure what these two capital letters stand for.

When ships replaced sailboats, the coffee produced in these islands faced the same problem as Indian coffee from Mysore-that is, consumers were used to coffee affected by long-distance travel, so they were reluctant to accept the taste of this "fresh" coffee. In order to solve this problem, the Indonesian government tried to copy coffee affected by long-distance travel. They stored the coffee beans for as long as a year. However, what is not satisfactory is that the taste of this wet-treated coffee is not so widely accepted that it affects the good reputation of its coffee.

However, Indonesia's "store" or "journey" coffee is still produced today. It is generally sold under the brands of "Old Government", "Old Brown" and "Old Java".

Although Indonesia produces so much admirable coffee, it is puzzling that local residents prefer Turkish-style coffee to its famous European-style coffee.
