Introduction to the flavor description and taste characteristics of Equatorial Guinea coffee beans

Hawaii is an almost well-known tropical Pacific island. In addition to its beautiful scenery, it also produces coffee. The famous Kona coffee is grown on the volcanic slopes on the southwest coast of Hawaii's main island and is the only coffee produced in the United States. Due to the island topography and volcanic soil, Hawaiian coffee has a very special taste, not too strong, not too sour and mellow, with pleasant wine aromas and acidity. Kona coffee is divided into four grades, namely Extra Fancy, Fancy, Prime and Gr.No.1. However, due to low production and high production costs, with the increasing demand for boutique coffee in recent years, the price of Kona on the market is catching up with the Blue Mountain of Jamaica, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy good Kona beans.

Oceania-Australia (Australia)

Well-known representative coffee: Australian coffee

Coffee was grown in Australia around 1900, with both Robasta and Arabica species, mainly in eastern Australia, roughly distributed in northern New South Wales (New South Wales), around Queensland (Queensland), and Norfolk Island Island. Northeast Queensland is a famous Skybury-growing area, while Norfolk Island is a small island in the South Pacific Ocean east of Australia, with about 20, 000 Arabica coffee trees. The quality of Australian coffee beans is quite good, with the characteristics of island beans, mellow and with mild acid, different from the coffee beans usually with bright acid in Central America. Its aroma is slightly chocolate, and it is good to drink alone or to be used for blending.

Oceania-New Guinea (New Guinea)

Well-known representative coffee: new Guinea

New Guinea lies in the north of Australia, also known as Papua New Guinea. The world's second largest island in the Pacific Ocean grows Arabica coffee trees, mainly in the north-central Hagen Mountains, where coffee beans are washed. The coffee trees of New Guinea are of the same species as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and the seeds were successfully planted in New Guinea in 1927. Coffee in New Guinea is grown at a height of about 4,500 to 6000 feet, mostly in small fields. Thousands of coffee farmers form cooperatives to manage the production and marketing of coffee, mainly to Australia and the United States. New Guinea coffee tastes rich and balanced, with sweet and bright acidity, with fruit-like aromas. Its fruity aroma is similar to grapefruit with a hint of chocolate, and some people think it has a nutty flavor.

South America-Ecuador (Ecuador)

Well-known representative coffee: Galapagos

Between Colombia and Peru, Ecuador, which passes through the equator, is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and robastian coffee. In fact, Ecuador means "equator" in Spanish. Due to the use of old-fashioned traditional harvesting and handling methods, Ecuadorian coffee is not listed as a boutique coffee, so it is generally rarely seen.

Ecuador faces the Pacific Ocean, and near the equator, about 900km off its west coast, near the equator at 90 degrees west longitude, there is also a dependency of the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Island), also known as Cologne, which produces the famous Galapagos coffee. In order to protect the natural ecology, the Ecuadorian government has designated the archipelago as a national park and banned the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, so coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as organic coffee. Galapagos Islands coffee flavor is more balanced and neutral, moderately mellow, with a little obvious but pleasant acidity, with a special aroma. However, because it is seldom seen on the market, not many people talk about this coffee.
