A wonderful journey to explore the world's delicious food
Becoming a barista has been a dream I've pursued for many years. For me, coffee is not just a drink, but also a manifestation of art and culture. By exploring delicious coffees around the world, I can feel the unique flavors and traditions of different countries and regions. In this article, I will share my wonderful journey.
Italian richness and finesse
Italy is known as the home of coffee, where you can taste the rich and delicate Italian espresso. Every morning, when you walk through the streets and alleys of Rome, the deep and mellow aroma will immediately intoxicate you. Whether it is the classic espresso black coffee or the signature drinks such as cappuccino or latte made with milk, you can feel their unique and strong taste.
Colombian Fragrant and Smooth
Colombia is one of the world's largest coffee producers, and its coffee is famous for its fragrance and smoothness. In the mountains of Colombia, I visited a traditional coffee farm. There, I learned how to grow, harvest and process coffee beans. When I tasted the freshly roasted Colombian coffee, I was conquered by its rich and sweet flavor.
Ethiopia acidity and fruitiness
Ethiopia is one of the origins of coffee, where you can taste high-quality coffee with acidity and fruity aroma. In the market of Addis Ababa, the capital, I found many different types and flavors of Ethiopian single-origin coffee beans. Through experiments on the effects of different production areas and different processing methods on flavor, I brewed them in a bourbon hand-poured pot, each of which was amazing and delicious.
Japanese sophistication and innovation
Japan is world-renowned for its refinement and innovation. In a coffee shop in Tokyo, I experienced Japan's unique hand-poured coffee culture. The baristas there treat every cup of coffee as a work of art, extracting the best flavor through precise water temperature and brewing time. Whether it is the classic drip-type drip or the modern drip-type cold brew, each method shows the Japanese pursuit of details and innovation.
Brazilian richness and balance
Brazil is one of the world's largest coffee producers, and its coffee is famous for its rich and balanced flavor. In a small town in Sao Paulo, I visited a traditional family-run coffee roastery. They use traditional methods to roast Brazilian single-origin beans into a deep, full-flavored, rich and balanced flavor.
Summarize
Becoming a barista and exploring the world's delicious journey has allowed me to appreciate the stories and emotions behind various flavors and cultures. From the richness and delicacy of Italy, to the fragrance and smoothness of Colombia, to the acidity and fruitiness of Ethiopia, and the refinement and innovation of Japan, each type of coffee has its own unique characteristics and flavor. Through continuous learning and practice, I hope to be able to pass on these delicacies to more people and explore more unknown wonders in the world of coffee.
