The world's top ten specialty coffee taste and flavor characteristics

Today, Chongqing Bairuis Coffee Pastry Training Academy will bring you the world's top 10 boutique coffee beans. At the same time, these 10 types of coffee are also very familiar to people in the industry. Let's take a look at which 10 boutique coffee beans are:

1. Panama Jade Geisha

In 2004, Geisha first produced its amazing aroma. Its orange-floral flavor and deep caramel aroma dominated all major cupping competitions, and its value doubled. It set off a boom in Geisha planting in Central and South America and opened up a new flavor range for Central and South American coffee.

2. Bourbon Point

The unique lychee and citrus aroma of Bourbon Point has fascinated ancient and modern literati and politicians. It is a rare variety with the lowest production, the lowest caffeine, and the highest value. Globally, the Japanese have a special liking for this romantic and mellow semi-decaffeinated coffee.

3. Colombian Geisha

In the Valle del Cauca in Colombia, the "green-topped" Geisha coffee imported from Panama finally took the top spot on the annual best coffee list. The flavor of Colombian Geisha is dominated by berry honey and spicy notes, which is different from Panama, giving coffee fans more choices.

4. Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Small Seed Sun-dried Beans

The Old World is famous for its sun-dried and ancient flavor. The unique small-grain coffee produced in Yirgacheffe and Sidamo is most suitable for sun-drying. It has a variety of fruity and floral flavors, with a hint of turmeric and cinnamon, and a large amplitude that is intoxicating.

5. Indian Civet Mandheling

Indian civet coffee has a controversial aroma. If you buy fake or inferior products, they will have a strong pungent smell. But once you drink authentic civet Mandheling coffee, the sweet and sour fruity notes, hazelnut aroma and rich texture will make you love it for a lifetime.

6. Guatemala Graft Estate Pacamara

The giant Pacamara has been winning the "Super Cup" competition year after year since 2005, and has dealt a heavy blow to the Bourbon army. Pacamara is like the domineering acidity of a green apple, and it is particularly charming when it is blended with the sweet aroma of biscuits and the taste of cream. People who are afraid of sourness should avoid it, but acid lovers must drink it.

7. Kenya SL28, SL34 double washed fermented beans

Kenyan coffee has a fuller taste, with strawberry as the main aroma, as well as berry acidity and charming brown sugar flavor, creating a charming regional flavor. This is related to Kenya's national treasure varieties SL28 and SL34, as well as the unique double washed fermentation method.

8. Ethiopian Harar washed beans

Harar, a major coffee town, has been selling the flavor of sun-dried coffee for thousands of years. In recent years, it has been unable to withstand the market competition from Yirgacheffe sun-dried coffee, so it has broken the century-old sun-dried coffee trend and launched washed Harar to compete with Yirgacheffe washed coffee. It has a profound fruity flavor, similar to passion fruit, and is cleaner and more transparent than Harar sun-dried coffee. However, washed Harar beans are rare and not easy to buy.

9. Ateng and Tim Tim from Indonesia

Coffee experts' theories about coffee varieties are all messed up in Indonesia. The CATIMOR and TIMOR HYBRID varieties recognized in Europe and the United States have transformed into strange and difficult-to-pronounce Ateng and Tim Tim in Indonesia, but the cupping results are better than the ancient Timbika. These inferior varieties are naturally backcrossed with Arabica in the melting pot of mixed planting in Indonesia, cleansing all the dirt, and combined with Indonesia's unique wet hulling method, the flavor spectrum of the two varieties is greatly improved, creating the thick, soft, herbal and bitter regional flavor of Mandheling.

10. Hawaiian Coffee Mysterious Tiebi Ka

In addition to Guatemalan Tiepika, the coffee mist producing area also has the mysterious and ancient Brazilian Tiepika to add fragrance, creating the fascinating coffee mist legend. The rich flavor of coffee mist has washed away the reputation of island-style coffee that lacks fragrance and mellowness.
