How to view coffee bean information?

I believe that many friends are always overwhelmed by the information of coffee beans when buying coffee beans or hand-brewed drip coffee. The barista will introduce the origin, processing method, altitude, flavor, etc. of this coffee bean. So let's take a look at how to read the coffee bean information and what we can learn from this information?

Coffee bean information generally includes the following information: coffee bean name, coffee producing area, processing method, altitude, variety and flavor description, etc.

Coffee bean name

The coffee beans’ label will summarize the more critical information about the coffee beans, such as the country of origin, processing methods, etc.

Coffee producing areas

Coffee producing areas correspond to the places where coffee is grown. The first is the country, such as Kenya and Ethiopia. The second is the production area, such as the Yirgacheffe production area in Ethiopia and the Tarrazú production area in Costa Rica. Some are estates and some are cooperatives, such as the Emerald Estate in the Boquete production area in Panama and the Fruitington Cooperative in the Yirgacheffe production area in Ethiopia.

Processing

The processing method refers to the way the raw beans of this type of beans are processed. Generally, there are water washing processing, sun drying processing and honey processing, etc. Of course, there are other more emerging processing methods. Different processing methods have different effects on coffee beans and will also have different effects on the taste of coffee.

altitude

Altitude may be a symbol of quality for coffee. The higher the altitude, the higher the quality of coffee beans. Because the higher the altitude, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the easier it is for coffee fruits to accumulate sugar substances and produce delicate flavors and aromas.

variety

Variety refers to the type of coffee beans. Different types of beans will produce different flavor types. For example, Gesha is known for its obvious floral aroma, while Bourbon will highlight more sweetness.

Flavor Description

The flavor description on the coffee bean information is generally a summary of the flavor of the coffee after roasting by the roaster, so that consumers can choose according to their own preferences.

other

In addition to the above, there is sometimes some other special information, such as the name given by the raw coffee merchant, the names of certain origin items, etc. Among them, the more common musician series is given by the raw coffee merchant.
