From bean to cup, the wonderful journey of coffee!

Coffee, a drink originating from Africa, has gone through a wonderful journey from bean to cup. This process includes many links, and each link has an important impact on the final taste of coffee.

First comes the planting and picking stages. Coffee trees need the right climate and soil conditions to thrive. In suitable areas, farmers carefully select the right varieties and manage their cultivation. When the berries are ripe, farmers pick them by hand, making sure to select only the best quality berries.

Next comes the processing and roasting stage. The picked coffee cherries need to remove the outer skin and expose the inner part called "bean". Then the beans are fermented, washed, dried and other processes to remove residual substances and improve the taste quality. Finally, they are roasted with precise heat and time control techniques.

Next comes the grinding and extraction phase. The roasted coffee beans need to be crushed into particles of the right size to allow water to fully contact the coffee powder. The degree of grinding during this process affects the concentration and taste of the final coffee. Then, water is passed through the coffee grounds using various extraction methods (such as drip, espresso, etc.) to extract the dissolved substances in them.

Finally, it’s time to prepare and enjoy. Depending on your taste, you can add milk, sugar or other condiments to enhance the flavor. Then pour the drink into a cup and enjoy it at the right temperature.

From bean to cup, coffee goes through a series of complex and delicate processes to become our favorite drink. Each link requires farmers, processors and baristas to put in a lot of effort and technical mastery to achieve the best results. Therefore, when you taste a cup of fragrant and delicious coffee, please remember that there are countless people's hard work and wisdom behind it.
