Knowledge of boutique coffee-the growth process of coffee
Looking at this pure black liquid, it took a year of growth, harvesting, production, baking, grinding, extraction, and finally condensed into that mellow taste. Like all the things that have been polished by time and hands, such as red wine, such as jade, there is an infinite world lurking in a small space.
Coffee beans "would rather have balls".
Thousands of years ago, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, he shouted: how dare a prince? Of course, it sounds very pleasant to us, who have long been used to the idea of equality for all, but if this sentence is put on the coffee beans, it is estimated that the beans will jump out and object: we all have to talk about our origins! In our view, they are all small black charcoal-like coffee beans, but according to Liang Chaoxiong, a veteran coffee expert, there are basically three species, arabica, robusta and liberica, although there are as many as 40 species of coffee plants. Among them, Lobusta is the most highway. it belongs to lowland coffee, with strong disease resistance and the highest yield, accounting for 60% to 70% of the output of coffee beans on the market. It can be found in Southeast Asia and West Africa. Its caffeine content is also high, instant coffee, canned coffee is the favorite.

Arabica is a typical "alpine flower", belonging to highland coffee, and most of the fine coffee comes from this category. Coffee such as Blue Mountain, which is an idol in the hearts of coffee fans, is also an Arabica species. It has appeared for the longest time in human history, and it is said that the coffee that was first introduced into the western world from the Arab world is Arabica coffee. It is the only coffee that all native species can drink directly, but it has a fatal point is its low disease resistance, how low is it? Sri Lanka was once a famous coffee-growing country, but all Arabica coffee growers in the country went home because of a coffee leaf rust, and they had no choice but to switch to black tea. It can be found in South America, Central America, Africa and parts of Asia.
When it comes to the least minority, Liberia is not as delicious as Arabica, and there is no large amount of money injected into planting, usually only for communication between experts or for research.
Highland coffee is superior to others.
Among the three major coffee beans, players are after Arabica beans. This is because highland coffee is better than lowland coffee. Therefore, when commenting on the quality of coffee, the height of the origin is often included in the evaluation criteria. The higher the altitude and the lower the relative temperature, the coffee fruit can ripen slowly, so the fully ripe beans have good expansibility and are easy to bake. In the coffee producing countries in Central and South America, the quality of coffee beans is basically evaluated only by the altitude of the place of origin. As for boutique coffee, it is all highland coffee. Of course, if you play more professionally and profoundly, you will probably see whether the coffee has organic certification or not. Players generally agree that: American USBA certification, rainforest certification, fair trade certification.
Give coffee beans a second life.
Baking is equivalent to giving coffee beans the finishing touch. The flavor of the coffee bean itself is latent, and only moderate baking can attract its amorous feelings, just as dry wood needs fire. In the eyes of experts, 80% of the factors that determine the taste of coffee come from raw beans and 20% depend on roasting. Baking is divided into deep, moderate and shallow three kinds of baking, these three baking methods themselves are not high or low, or the coffee beans themselves are suitable for what kind of baking method, the key lies in the baking method. If the technique is wrong, even the best beans will be scrapped. The most difficult thing about baking coffee is the best time to stop, which depends on how the roaster captures the characteristics of coffee beans. This should be judged by experience and pay attention to the changes in temperature, color, sound, aroma, shape and luster of beans.
All coffee tastes bitter and sour. Generally speaking, the lighter the degree of roasting, the stronger the sour taste of coffee. The deeper the baking degree, the stronger the bitterness. Deep roasting is suitable for coffee with strong sour taste. Light roasting is suitable for bitter coffee, which can release the sour taste, ease the excessive bitterness and balance the taste. However, coffee has an expiration date, no matter how superb the roasting method is, drink it up within two weeks after roasting, otherwise the flavor will be greatly reduced.
