Coffee causes different taste of sun and water

The reason why the taste of coffee is different between sun exposure and washing. Red honey treatment.

Coffee trees are native to the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia in Africa. It is said that more than a thousand years ago, a shepherd found that the sheep had eaten a kind of plant, became very excited and lively, and then discovered coffee. It is also said that a coffee forest was accidentally destroyed by a wildfire, and the smell of barbecue coffee attracted the attention of surrounding residents. Local aborigines often grind the fruit of the coffee tree and knead it with animal fat to make many ball-shaped balls. These indigenous tribes use these coffee balls as precious food for soldiers who are about to go out to battle. It was not until around the 11th century that people began to use boiled coffee as a drink. In the 13th century, Ethiopian troops invaded Yemen and brought coffee to the Arab world. Because the Islamic doctrine forbids people to drink alcohol, some religious people think that this kind of drink stimulates the nerves and violates the doctrine. Coffee shops were banned and closed for a time, but the Egyptian sultan thought that coffee was not against the doctrine, so the ban was lifted. Coffee drinks quickly became popular in the Arab region. The word coffee Coffee, which comes from the Arabic Qahwa, which means "plant drink", later spread to Turkey and became the source of the word in European languages. The method of growing and making coffee has also been continuously improved and perfected by the Arabs.

At first, coffee was expensive in Europe. Only aristocrats could drink coffee, and coffee was even called "black gold". Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen and got some coffee seedlings, which were successfully planted in Indonesia. In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil, where he planted them with good results. The climate in Brazil is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. Coffee, which has fallen in price due to mass production, began to become an important drink for Europeans.

According to people in the coffee industry, the price trend of coffee in Yunnan in the past 20 years is nearly one every 10 years.

One price cycle. In 2010, the price of coffee in Yunnan reached 41 yuan per kilogram, a record high. From 2012 to early 2014, affected by the decline in international coffee futures prices, the price was once as low as 13 yuan per kilogram, and the coffee planting industry entered the "price winter" for two consecutive years.

At the end of January 2014, with the recovery of international coffee futures prices, Yunnan coffee prices also rose rapidly. "this past February, international coffee prices rose the most in 20 years, from 114 cents per pound on January 28 to 180 cents per pound on February 28."

There are probably three reasons for the rapid rise in coffee prices: first, the dry climate in Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, since the end of last year, which is expected to affect coffee production; second, some coffee producing countries in Central and South America are affected by coffee rust, and coffee production is expected to decrease; third, coffee futures are in the doldrums for a long time, and coffee futures speculators deliberately drive up coffee prices and activate the coffee futures market.
