Coffee unpopular knowledge-how Starbucks beans are named

I believe that when you buy or taste all kinds of Starbucks pure coffee drinks, you will also be exposed to the names of different coffee beans. There are many kinds of names for coffee beans. Are there any rules behind these beautiful names? Today I have a big secret to reveal!

At Starbucks, the types of coffee bean names are not complicated, there are only three! They are named according to the baking method, according to the special meaning, and named according to the place of origin. Next, let's take a look at the differences between these three naming methods.

The first one is named according to the baking method:

This kind of coffee beans are roasted by special roasting methods and are often made from a mixture of coffee beans from multiple regions. The roasting degree of this kind of coffee beans is balanced and uniform, and the flavor characteristics are also very prominent. The coffee beans used in the coffee machine in the store are "espresso roasted coffee", and the only fair trade bean in China, "Italian roasted coffee", is named in this way! The way to identify this kind of naming is to have the word "bake" in its Chinese name or the word "ROAST" in its English name.

The second kind is named according to the special meaning.

This is one of the most widely used naming methods. This approach is adopted in most of Starbucks' new coffee beans in the first quarter. There are also many conventional varieties. Coffee beans named with this name are mostly mixed beans in multi-producing areas, so the name often contains the word "comprehensive", or the English name contains the word "BLEND" (there are exceptions, such as Cacicero). These coffee beans are often reminiscent of certain feelings or associated with certain experiences. For example, the "Florna mixed Coffee", which represents love, the "Frona mixed Coffee", which symbolizes warmth and joy, or the "Fengwu Xiangyun Comprehensive Coffee", which contains Yunnan beans and is full of Chinese style, is the representative of this naming method!

The third is named according to the place of origin

This kind of coffee beans are very recognizable, and without exception, their names are named after place names. And if the origin is not well known, it often includes the name of the producing country. This kind of coffee bean is very popular because of its concentrated producing area and distinctive features. This kind of coffee beans named after the place of origin and concentrated in origin, we also call it "single coffee". Typically, there is "Sumatran coffee", which means that this is coffee from Sumatra province in northwestern Indonesia, and "Antigua coffee from Guatemala", which means that it is a coffee bean from the "Antigua" producing area of "Guatemala".

Recently, Zhenxuan coffee, which is very popular in China, all belong to this type. And the name of Zhenxuan Coffee will be more specific. For example, "tanning Mount Meru in Tanzania" means that the coffee comes from Mount Meru in "Tanzania", and the sun method is used to treat raw beans, "Kenya Aakaratina", which means that it comes from the country's "Karatina" province, with a rating of "AA" (the highest local rating in Kenya). This meticulous to the manor, rating or processing of beans, we also call it "garden-grade coffee", more widely known as: Starbucks selected coffee beans.
