Once upon a time, a Chinese emperor who "can do everything except being a king", when talking about tea, said that tea is different from the millets and silk that the common people "usually need and use every day". It is a divine thing that is "elegant and gifted with spiritual gifts" , and tea tasting is an elegant hobby in prosperous times.

Today, tea has entered thousands of households, and along with it, another major beverage in the lives of Chinese people, especially young white-collar workers, is coffee, an imported product.

Unlike tea, coffee has become a life-saving tool that white-collar workers in metropolitan areas need every day due to various factors. Whether they are working overtime or taking a break from their busy schedule, coffee comforts lonely and numb souls with its strong taste and rich aroma.

Positioned as "the third space between office and home", Starbucks has been a place for people to deal with both business and personal matters from the very beginning. For me, it is also a good place to kill time when I am bored at home.

It is really satisfying to appreciate the various coffee packaging with different characteristics on the shelves of Starbucks. Today we will share the most popular coffee beans of Starbucks!

Sumatra coffee beans - the first choice for thousands of coffee lovers

Grown on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, Sumatra beans have a very high status in the coffee world - before the fame of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee came into the world, it was once considered the best coffee beans in the world.

It also has a more widely known name - Mandheling coffee.

Sumatra coffee is extremely strong, bitter and mellow, slightly sweet, but almost without sourness, and has a natural aroma of soil and herbs. This is the flavor that coffee produced in the Asia-Pacific region should have.

As a famous and high-quality coffee product, Sumatra coffee beans are described by those who have tasted them as having a masculine and vigorous taste. Indeed, it is very bitter, but whether you drink it in big gulps or taste it in small sips, you can truly feel the masculine and unrestrained demeanor. This taste really attracts men and makes them yearn for it.

As a regular heavy roasted series of Starbucks Sumatra coffee beans, whether it is extracted with an espresso machine or a French press, its flavor can be displayed to different degrees, enough to meet the needs of beginners and experienced enthusiasts. However, my favorite is the classic hand-brewed production that combines taste and ritual. I personally think that this can best show its excellent internal quality.

Some people have said that Starbucks coffee tastes terrible, but from my personal experience, the same Sumatran coffee beans, whether I buy them at Starbucks or online, are priced the same, but the difference in quality is immediately apparent.

Starbucks beans should be consumed within half a month after being opened and ground into powder. From beginning to end, the sour taste caused by oxidation and water vapor can be controlled to the minimum, almost imperceptible. However, the goods bought from the Internet celebrity store, from the moment you open the first package, you can already smell the obvious sour smell.

Obviously, all this goes without saying.

I am not a die-hard fan of Starbucks. I always go into different brands of stores on the street and try the "vegetarian coffee" without sugar or milk. After many comparisons, I can finally say that Starbucks is the undisputed leader among all the coffee chain brands (except for some niche boutique coffee shops).

Its Sumatra coffee beans, whether in aroma, taste, or packaging and storage, are unmatched by other brands. Good packaging presents good beans, and good roasting makes them bloom with a down-to-earth aroma and taste that can be enjoyed by everyone.

This is the opinion I got from a "black apron" Coffee Master who worked in Starbucks for two years. It may still have some reference value.

Of course, there are many factors that affect coffee quality, and all kinds of situations may occur. The author can only share the most popular coffee varieties of Starbucks based on his own experience for reference by all coffee lovers.
