Introduction to the flavor, taste and quality of coffee beans

There are 18 kinds of odors: animal, ash, coke, chemicals, chocolate, caramel, roasted sweet potato, earth, flowers, fruit, grass and vegetables, almonds, sour rot, rubber, spicy, tobacco, wine, wood.

The most basic flavors are sour, bitter and sweet. Sour taste is a basic taste of coffee, caused by organic acid, Taiwan citric acid, malic acid and so on. The second is the bitterness in the coffee taste of caffeine, quinine and this alkaloid, which is another basic taste of coffee, and good coffee has a certain degree of bitterness. The sucrose and fructose in coffee lead to the flavor of coffee, which is also an aspect of describing the flavor of coffee.

The third aspect of commenting on coffee is its taste. First of all, there is a strong feeling, after drinking coffee, some are very strong, the whole mouth has a sense of fullness, and the watch will disappear for a long time, this is a kind of excellent coffee. Some coffee tastes like a cup of boiled water, light, without any feeling, losing the rich fragrance of coffee. Another taste of coffee is astringency, which is a particularly dry aftertaste, which people don't like.

Lao Yi loved coffee and found that when espresso, milk and milk foam were mixed, the color was like the dark brown robe worn by monks, so he came up with a drink with coffee and sharp milk bubbles, which was named Cappuccino. The word was first used in English in 1948, when a report in San Francisco first introduced cappuccino beverages, and it was not until 1990 that it became a familiar coffee drink. It should be possible to say that the word Cappuccino coffee comes from the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin) and the Italian headscarf (Cappucio). It is believed that the original word makers of Cappuccino never dreamed that the monks' robes would eventually become the name of a coffee drink.

Cappuccino is also related to the name of a monkey.

There is a small monkey in Africa with a black cone-shaped hair on its head, much like a pointed hat on a St. Franciscan robe, hence the name Capuchin, which was first used by the British in 1785. The word "Capuchin" has generated coffee drink names and monkey names hundreds of years later, which has always been an interesting story for literati.
