Wow, green coffee beans.

The young reporter watched the coffee brewing process.

Morning News on March 26, Jianghuai Little reporter Magic Coffee Tour was successfully held in Blue Orange Coffee. With curiosity, 20 young journalists, together with their parents, witnessed the birth of coffee from raw beans to cooked beans, and then to a beautiful cup of caffeine when added with milk.

Raw beans: the first time I heard the legend of the shepherd

"Oh, the coffee beans used to be green! Didn't we see it all in black? " Seeing that the coffee bean particles on the trays and shelves were green one by one, the little reporter could not help but ask questions. Coffee teacher Rong Zedong said that these are raw coffee beans and black coffee beans are ripe beans that have been roasted.

Not only that, young journalists also learned that coffee is grown at the equator, coffee beans are the fruit of coffee trees, about the discovery and origin of coffee, and a shepherd legend.

Legend has it that in Ethiopia in the 9th century, there was a shepherd who one day found some sheep dancing excitedly in his flock. Are these some sheep who can dance? Then he found out that it was the sheep who ate the fruit of a tree. He picked the fruit and took it to the monastery, and the priests found that the drink made from the fruit kept people from dozing off and energized. So coffee became more and more popular.

"Coffee is refreshing and was found to be because of dancing sheep." many young journalists were interested in the legend they heard for the first time and memorized it in their notebooks.

Cooked beans: roasted coffee beans are fragrant all over the room

On the same day, young reporters walked into the coffee roasting studio and saw the process of coffee from raw beans to cooked beans.

Raw beans have to be roasted and turned into roasted coffee before they can be boiled and drunk. Teacher Rong told everyone that this process is like stir-frying peanuts. "it can neither be uncooked nor scorched." This requires a special coffee roaster to make the coffee roasting process more accurate and controllable.

Coffee beans give off a variety of aromas during the roasting process, because everyone is in the baking studio, so young journalists have been surrounded by the strong aroma of coffee in the air from beginning to end. Even parents sighed: "as soon as I came in, I smelled coffee all over the room."

Pull flowers: combine with milk to become a wonderful drink

The coffee beans are cooked, and then it's time to make coffee!

"Coffee beans have to be ground, turned into coffee powder and put into a coffee machine, and the reddish-brown coffee liquid is extracted after hot water at high temperature and pressure of more than 90 degrees." While introducing Mr. Rong Zedong, he showed it to young reporters at the same time.

Around the coffee machine, the little reporters opened their eyes wide, and sure enough, as long as more than ten seconds, the coffee liquid automatically flowed out.

What is made at this time is only concentrated coffee liquid, which only occupies a shallow layer in the coffee cup. Teacher Rong took out the refrigerated milk, heated it through the steam pipe on the coffee machine, and then injected the hot milk into the espresso.

Then something magical happened. Teacher Rong's wrist gently shook a few times, and a beautiful flower appeared. At this time, the young reporters finally saw a large cup of pull coffee, which is often seen on TV and in cafes.

Coffee is also a gift of nature, the experience of this trip, so that young reporters to improve the awareness of coffee, but also let everyone fully feel the birth and fun of a cup of coffee.
