The world's top coffee

The world's top coffee

Besides tea, coffee is almost the most common drink in life. Whether it is a lazy afternoon or a quiet night, a cup of fragrant coffee is a great enjoyment for many people. But every time you walk into a coffee shop and see the dazzling array of coffee names on the menu, it is inevitable that you are dazzled and don't know how to choose. Trying them one by one is a bit dull, so it is better to learn about the common types of coffee together, so that you can more easily choose your favorite flavor.

Espresso

The original word is Italian, which means "immediately brewed for you". It is commonly known as Italian espresso. Espresso uses high pressure to allow boiling water to quickly pass through coffee powder in just a few seconds, resulting in about 1/4 ounce of coffee with a strong taste, slightly bitter at first, and a lingering fragrance after swallowing.

Macchiato

The original word is Italian, which means "mark, brand", symbolizing the mark of sweetness. It is pronounced as "Macchiato", but we are used to calling it Macchiato. Its characteristic is that in Italian espresso, no fresh cream or milk is added, only two tablespoons of dense and soft milk foam are added to the coffee. The milk foam is delicate and sweet, which can buffer the bitter impact of espresso. The reason why many people like Macchiato coffee is because of its sweetness. It is different from the heavy mocha coffee. It is soft. If mocha is like dark chocolate, then Macchiato is toffee, giving people a soft and gentle feeling. Moreover, the delicate milk foam combined with caramel is as delicate and smooth as floating clouds. Therefore, Macchiato is usually the favorite of girls.

Caramel Macchiato

Caramel Macchiato is a drink made by adding espresso and vanilla to hot milk, and then pouring pure caramel on it, combining three different flavors. "Caramel" means caramel, and Caramel Macchiato is Macchiato with caramel added, representing the "mark of sweetness".

Americano

American coffee is the most popular coffee in coffee shops besides milk coffee. If most of the lovers of milk coffee are women, then American coffee can be regarded as a very neutral coffee, and its popularity is basically the same between male and female customers. The so-called American coffee, in simple terms, is coffee that suits the taste of Americans. When Americans first came into contact with espresso, they found it difficult to adapt to the strong taste of espresso. American coffee is black coffee made with a drip coffee pot, or it is made by adding a lot of water to espresso. The taste is relatively light. Because the general extraction time is relatively long (about four or five minutes), the caffeine content is higher. American coffee is light and clear, almost transparent, and you can even see the brown coffee at the bottom of the cup.

White Coffee

White coffee, as it is commonly referred to in China, refers to a type of coffee popular in Southeast Asia, mainly in Malaysia. White coffee has a history of more than 100 years. White coffee does not mean that the color of coffee is white, but it is made from premium Liberia, Arabica and Robusta coffee beans and premium skimmed creamer, which are roasted at medium to low temperatures and processed with special processes to remove a large amount of caffeine, the bitterness and sourness produced by high-temperature carbon roasting, and the bitterness and sourness of coffee and the caffeine content are reduced to a minimum. It is sweet and fragrant without hurting the stomach, retains the original color and aroma of coffee, has a smooth and pure taste, and is lighter and softer in color than ordinary milk coffee, with a light golden color, hence the name white coffee.

Latte

"Latte" is the transliteration of the Italian word "Latte". Latte is a kind of fancy coffee, the ultimate blend of coffee and milk. Italian espresso is added with high-concentration hot milk and foamed milk, retaining the light coffee aroma and sweetness, exuding a rich and charming fresh milk aroma, smooth and smooth in the mouth, and is the favorite of many girls. American latte replaces part of the milk with milk foam, and most local lattes are of this type.

Cafe Au Lait

Cafe au lait in French means coffee with a lot of milk. The method is also very simple. Just pour a cup of Italian espresso and a large cup of hot milk into a large cup at the same time, and finally put two spoons of whipped cream on the surface of the liquid. It tastes fresh and smooth. In the mellow coffee, there is also a rich and fragrant milk aroma. It is very popular among women. In France, this fancy coffee with a lot of milk is a good companion for breakfast. It is a simple and satisfying meal when paired with croissants. To be precise, Cafe au lait is the French version of latte. Half of the coffee is poured with half of the hot milk. The heavy aroma instantly spreads out a simple warmth.

Cafe Breve

Breve is a less common type of coffee, very similar to latte, except that it does not contain milk but a mixture of half milk and half cream, sometimes with a little milk foam.

Espresso Con Panna

In Italian, Con means stirring, Panna means whipped cream, and Panna is espresso with fresh cream. Just add the right amount of fresh cream to espresso to easily make a cup of Panna. Because it only contains fresh cream, it is sometimes called a "single-headed carriage". The tender white fresh cream gently floats on the deep coffee, like a white lotus flower that has emerged from the mud without being stained, making people reluctant to drink it in one gulp.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee that is made by mixing equal amounts of Italian espresso and steamed foam milk. The color of the coffee is like the turban that the monks of the Cappuccino Church wear over their dark brown coats, hence the name of the coffee. Traditional cappuccino is one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk and one-third foamed milk, and is sprinkled with small particles of cinnamon powder.

Cappuccino is divided into two types: dry and wet. The so-called dry cappuccino refers to a method of preparing more milk foam and less milk. The coffee tastes stronger than the milk aroma, which is suitable for people with strong taste. As for wet cappuccino, it refers to a method of preparing less milk foam and more milk. The milk aroma covers the strong coffee flavor, which is suitable for people with light taste. The flavor of wet cappuccino is similar to the popular latte. Generally speaking, the taste of cappuccino is stronger than that of latte. If you have a strong taste, you may order cappuccino or dry cappuccino. If you are not used to the strong coffee taste, you can order latte or wet cappuccino.

Caffè Mocha

Mocha coffee is one of the oldest coffees, named after the famous Mocha Port. It is a mixture of Italian espresso, chocolate sauce, fresh cream and milk. In the 15th century, the entire Middle East and African coffee countries did not have a prosperous external transportation industry. Yemen's Mocha was the main export port near the Red Sea at that time. At that time, coffee was mainly concentrated in Mocha Port and then exported to other countries. All of them were collectively called Mocha coffee. Although the emerging port replaced the status of Mocha Port, the origin of Mocha coffee during the Mocha Port period was still preserved, and the coffee beans produced in these origins are still called Mocha coffee beans.

The reason why Mocha coffee beans are so popular is because of its rich taste. The aroma of red wine, wild game, dried fruit, blueberry, grape, cinnamon, tobacco, sweet spices, logs, and even chocolate. Europeans like Mocha coffee very much and have always regarded it as a consumable luxury.

With the birth of Italian fancy coffee, people tried to add chocolate to ordinary coffee to replace Mocha coffee. This is the fancy mocha that everyone can often drink now. Italian fancy mocha coffee is made by mixing 1/3 Italian espresso with 2/3 hot milk, and then adding chocolate ingredients. Unlike the thick milk foam of cappuccino, there is no milk foam on the top of Mocha, but fresh cream instead, and cocoa powder and cinnamon are added. Preserved fruit is also used as a decoration on the top of Mocha coffee. Therefore, the so-called Mocha coffee is actually a general term for Mocha bean coffee and fancy mocha coffee. When tasting Mocha coffee, you must pay attention to this point, so as not to order a coffee that is not the Mocha coffee you want.

Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is a kind of coffee that tastes like both wine and coffee. The special espresso with unique flavor is served with whiskey, sugar and fresh cream. The aroma of coffee is enhanced by whiskey, and the fresh cream is blended to create a smooth, sweet and moderate taste. The special brewing method is serious and persistent, ancient and simple. Irish coffee made with whiskey can better bring out the sweet and sour taste of coffee, allowing you to feel the strong alcohol while tasting coffee. A cup of Irish coffee is like the rising sun in the winter morning. It will quickly warm your whole body and your thoughts will fly freely.

Viennese Coffee

This is the most famous coffee in Austria, invented by a coachman named Ein Schubner. It has charmed people all over the world with its thick cream and sweet chocolate flavor. The colorful rice sprinkled on the snow-white cream looks very beautiful; sipping the hot coffee through the sweet chocolate syrup and cold cream is even more flavorful.

Royal Coffee

It is said that this is the favorite coffee of the hero and French Emperor Napoleon, so it is named "Royal". When serving, pour brandy on the sugar cube and light a flame. It is gorgeous and elegant, with the aroma of wine, and it really has a royal style. First pour the brewed hot coffee into the coffee cup, and then put a special spoon on the cup, with the sugar cube soaked in brandy and a little brandy on the spoon. Turn off the lights in the room and light the sugar cube with a match. You can see the beautiful light blue flame burning on the sugar cube. When the flame goes out and the sugar cube melts, put the spoon into the coffee cup and stir it well, and the fragrant royal coffee will appear. Royal coffee has a noble and romantic mood, and the mellow aroma of brandy is overflowing, which is very charming.

Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica at an altitude of more than 2,500 feet. It is a slightly sour, soft, sweet, and delicate coffee. It is divided into Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaican High Mountain Coffee according to grade. The Blue Mountain of Jamaica is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all year round. This climate has created the world-renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee has the characteristics of being mellow, bitter with a hint of sweetness, soft and smooth, and slightly sour, which can make the taste buds more sensitive and taste its unique flavor. It is the best coffee.

Mandheling coffee

The most famous coffee producing areas in Asia are the islands of the Malay Archipelago: Sumatra, Java, and Kaliman. Among them, the Sumatra Mandheling coffee produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, is the most famous. Therefore, Mandheling coffee is also known as "Sumatra coffee". It has a very strong flavor, fragrant, bitter, mellow, and a little sweet. Most coffee lovers drink it alone, but it is also an indispensable variety for blending mixed coffee. Mandheling coffee has a rich and solid taste with a pleasant sour taste. It has a mellow smell, moderate acidity, and rich sweetness, which is very intriguing. It is suitable for deep roasting and exudes a strong aroma.

Mandheling is not the name of a production area, a place, a port, or a coffee variety. Its name is actually a mispronunciation of the Indonesian Mandheling people. According to Sumatra data, during the Japanese occupation of Sumatra during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank a very fragrant coffee in a cafe and asked the owner curiously: What kind of coffee is this? The owner mistakenly thought that the Japanese soldier was asking: Where are you from? So the owner replied: Mandheling. After the war, the Japanese soldier remembered that the delicious coffee he had drunk in Indonesia seemed to be called Mandheling, so he asked an Indonesian coffee broker to transport 15 tons of Mandheling coffee to Japan for him. It was very popular, and Mandheling was created by word of mouth. What's more interesting is that this broker created the Pawani coffee company (PWN for short), which is well-known in the Indonesian coffee industry today and is also the trademark owner of Golden Mandheling today. "————"Coffee Science"

Golden Mandheling

If Mandheling is the best among Indonesian coffees, then Golden Mandheling is the best among the best among Mandhelings. It is no exaggeration to call it the best. Golden Mandheling is a Mandheling coffee with full grains and lustrous color obtained through careful hand selection. It is absolutely the most beautiful coffee. In fact, in order to improve the problem of high defective beans in Mandheling, the Japanese began to adopt carefully selected quality control a long time ago. After four manual selections, defective beans were removed. Unfortunately, "golden mandheling" or golden Mandheling was registered as a trademark by Indonesia's Pawani Coffee Company, and golden Mandheling became exclusive to PWN. From this perspective, many "golden Mandhelings" on the market are "unqualified" Mandhelings, and can only be regarded as selected Mandhelings. PWN's is the real golden Mandheling. Golden Mandheling with the PWN brand is also a guarantee of quality.

Golden Mandheling coffee is more suitable for coffee lovers with strong taste. It has a mellow aroma, moderate acidity, just the right bitterness, and a rich aftertaste. Golden Mandheling tastes cleaner than Mandheling. The original herbal, earthy and woody flavors of Mandheling are almost gone, but the caramel sweetness is stronger, and the fruity acidity is brighter and more elegant. Generally, Mandheling is best roasted after the second crack, which can effectively reduce the smell, but Golden Mandheling has good transparency and sweetness before or after the second crack, and the roasting interpretation space is wider.

So what exactly is "Golden Mandheling"? Some friends who have opened coffee shops for a few years said that "Golden Mandheling" is aged Mandheling. When it comes to "Golden Mandheling", we have to start with PWN. This abbreviation is often mixed with the name of Mandheling coffee. It is actually the abbreviation of a company, Pwani Coffee Company. This company is a very famous coffee purchasing company in Indonesia. It mainly purchases Mandheling coffee. Almost all the best producing areas in Indonesia have been purchased by it, so most of the beans produced by PWN are also unique and exquisite. And Golden Mandheling is a product produced by this company. After the raw beans are purchased, they are manually selected multiple times to select plump and flawless beans. Finally, these fine beans that seem to have been screened layer by layer like a talent show can be classified as Golden Mandheling. However, PWN has registered the trademark of Golden Mandheling, which means that only the Golden Mandheling produced by PWN can be regarded as the real "Golden Mandheling" in the future. Many beans on the market that are not produced by PWN and carry the Golden Mandheling brand should actually be called Premium Mandheling.

Colombian Coffee (Cafe de Colombia)

Colombian coffee is produced in Colombia and is one of the few single-origin coffees sold in the world with the country's name. In terms of quality, it has received praise that other coffees cannot match. Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee high-quality and delicious, and famous all over the world. After roasting, the coffee beans will release a sweet aroma, with good quality characteristics of sourness and sweetness, and moderate bitterness. Because of the appropriate concentration, it is often used in high-end blended coffee. Colombian coffee exudes a light and elegant fragrance, not as strong as Brazilian coffee, and not as sour as African coffee, but a sweet and light fragrance, low-key and elegant.

Tanzanian coffee (peaberry coffee)

Tanzanian coffee is a premium brand of coffee that has received a lot of attention recently. Produced in the fertile soil of the East African Rift Valley, Tanzanian coffee is an outstanding example of premium coffee from this region. Its refreshing acidity and medium body complement the sweet citrus and floral flavors. This coffee tastes great whether it is hot or iced. Paired with orange or berry, its bright flavor can be further highlighted.

Tanzanian coffee is a Central/East African washed (wet processed) coffee with bright acidity and wild flavors. Kenya is the best of the bunch. The old beans are often singled out and sold at a higher price, but they often don't perform as well in the cup, which makes people feel that they are not worth the money. Tanzanian old beans are selling well in the United States as a new coffee bean, so many roasters have accepted this reality. Yes, Tanzanian coffee has great potential, but the long transportation process often makes it miss the best flavor. Because Tanzania's coffee farming industry does not have the perfect infrastructure like Kenya, it is very likely that the coffee beans will become old beans in the container on the way to the port. I can often brew this coffee perfectly, but the old beans that are several years old will completely lose their flavor. So keep in mind that if there is a newly arrived Tanzanian coffee on the supply list, it will definitely make me very excited because the batch of coffee must be excellent. The Mt. Kilimanjaro, Moshi and Mbeya regions in northern Tanzania, and the Sogea region near the Ruvuma River and Ruvuma Basin in the south all produce high-quality Tanzanian coffee.

Famous coffee brands in Tanzania include Africafe, Tanica Cafe, and Kilimanjaro. Tanzanian coffee has long been loved by Europeans and has become a famous brand. Europeans have given Tanzanian coffee the nickname "Gentleman Coffee". Africafe coffee is one of the top representatives of Tanzanian AA coffee beans. It is a variety of coffee grown by nature through volcanic ash. It has a unique cocoa fruit aroma and a strong sweetness.

Tanzanian coffee also developed under the hands of German and British colonists. It has been loved by Europeans since a very early time and has been ranked among the famous brands. The most favorable factor that made Tanzanian coffee famous was Hemingway and his novels. Since Hemingway traveled to France and embarked on the road of writing, he has been connected with Tanzania and Mount Kilimanjaro. After Hemingway became famous, Tanzanian coffee also became famous.

Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania ("Kilima" means mountain, "Zaro" means radiant) is 5,895 meters above sea level and is connected to Mount Meru. It is the main coffee production base in Tanzania. The Moshi and Alesha areas on the southern slope of Mount Meru also produce a large amount of high-quality coffee beans. 85% of Tanzanian coffee is grown on small farms.

Europeans gave Tanzanian coffee the nickname "Gentleman Coffee", which brought it to the pinnacle and it was called the "Three Musketeers of Coffee" together with the "King of Coffee" Blue Mountain and the "Lady of Coffee" Mocha.

When coffee produced in the above areas is sold on the international market, the trademarks are usually "Pride of Kilimanjaro", "Peaks of Kilimanjaro", "Tanzania Moses" or "Tanzania Alesha".

Russian Coffee

Russian coffee is also called hot mogajaba. The towering Ural Mountains and the snowy winter have created the strong personality of the Russians and given Russian coffee a passionate and intense taste. The method of making Russian coffee is just like cooking. First, break an egg yolk and put it in a pan, then add chocolate and a small amount of milk, heat and melt, then pour in a cup of vodka, and finally add a small spoonful of sugar and mix well. First prepare a half cup of boiling hot and strong coffee in a coffee cup, then pour in the milk mixed with eggs, chocolate and vodka. Finally, decorate the surface of the liquid with two spoons of cream and sprinkle with chocolate crumbs. Russian coffee is a very high-calorie drink, which is more suitable for drinking in cold winter. However, vodka is a strong liquor with a very high alcohol content, so people who can't handle alcohol should not force it. There is a more moderate method, which is to use a small amount of white rum instead of vodka, which is also good for driving away the cold and is not so easy to get drunk.

Green Tea Coffee

This is the most oriental fancy coffee. Add fresh cream to the brewed coffee and sprinkle some green tea powder on it. The unique elegant fragrance and slightly bitter taste of green tea, and the rich and heavy aroma of coffee with a slightly round, sour and sweet taste, interact and stir in the mouth, just like the communication process between two different cultures of the East and the West, seeking a stable balance point in conflict and integration.

Hawaiian Coffee (Kona Coffee)

Kona coffee beans produced in Hawaii have the most perfect appearance. Its fruit is extremely plump and shiny. It is the most beautiful coffee bean in the world. The coffee is smooth and fragrant, with an attractive nutty flavor and a balanced acidity. It is as charming as the colorful colors of Hawaii Island and has a long aftertaste.

Pound Coffee

Bond coffee, also known as "rose coffee" or "Lady Rose coffee", is a very popular fancy coffee in France. Bond coffee is famous for its unique creativity and beautiful shape. It is especially suitable for lovers to drink together or for a person to enjoy the beauty of loneliness. There are several bright rose petals suspended in the middle of the coffee, just like snow red, beautiful and moving. You can also put a fresh cream rose in the cup. But remember that the color must be bright, so that a strong contrast will be created. This coffee has a mellow and strong taste, and is very suitable for drinking after meals and on ordinary days.

Cat poop coffee

Kopi luwak is produced in Indonesia. It is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with a price of several hundred dollars per pound. It is extracted from the feces of civet cats and then processed. Civet cats only choose the ripest and sweetest coffee beans to eat, which is a natural selection. When the coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, only the pulp on the surface of the fruit is digested. The hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system. Locals found that these beans fermented in the cat's stomach, and the coffee produced is better than ordinary coffee. The fragrant and delicious Kopi luwak coffee gradually became famous and became a hot commodity in the international market.

Elephant Dung Coffee

Also known as Black Ivory Coffee, it is ground coffee from coffee beans digested and excreted by Thai elephants. It is produced at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Base. The enzymes in the elephants' bodies break down the protein in the beans during digestion, making it almost free of the bitterness of ordinary coffee. This coffee is produced and wholesaled by Black Ivory Coffee. Due to its extremely limited supply, it is only sold in a few five-star hotels in the world, and the price is very high.

Gesha Coffee

Gesha coffee is the most expensive coffee variety in the world. In 2013, a sun-dried Gesha from Panama's Emerald Estate was auctioned at a sky-high price of $35,000 per 100 pounds, which is about 5,000 yuan per kilogram in RMB. This record has not been broken so far. (The best coffee in Panama in 2016 was the Gesha from the Elida Estate, with an evaluation score of 94.17).

Gesha coffee is difficult to grow, and it has strict requirements for the growing environment, picking and processing. Therefore, the output of Gesha coffee is rare and the flavor is unique. Good Gesha coffee can indeed give people the illusion that it is not coffee at all, but exudes a clear tea fruit aroma. When you take a sip, you can feel the obvious fruit acidity on the tip of your tongue, and it is mild and mellow in the mouth, with a strong aftertaste, more like a fruit juice or fruit tea full of floral and fruity flavors, sweet and refreshing.

The world's strongest coffee

Black Insomnia is considered the strongest coffee in the world because it has four times more caffeine than regular coffee; each 12-ounce cup of Black Insomnia has 702 mg of caffeine. This caffeine dose is close to that of drugs. Many coffee companies have been competing for the title of the strongest coffee in the world for many years. Until recently this year, Death Wish Coffee was in the lead. But recently, tests in Swiss laboratories have confirmed that Black Insomnia is the coffee with the highest dose of caffeine.

This is the strongest coffee in the world. Drinking one cup can speed up your heartbeat, and drinking two cups can kill you. This is really no joke. CNN pointed out in its report on black insomnia that black insomnia, which contains twice as much caffeine as other coffees, can cause dizziness, complete insomnia, abnormal heartbeat and other adverse symptoms after drinking one cup. And if you drink more than two cups at a time, you may die.

This unique coffee product from South Africa has become the absolute rival of Japan's Insomnia Water. Now this coffee has been available in many countries, and the packaging bag says: "Don't drink too much, one cup will keep you awake all night. Don't try to drink two cups, which may send you to the hospital." Experts also analyzed: "Such a high caffeine level may cause damage to the heart." The current price of Black Insomnia is US$19 for 450 grams.

Drinking this coffee in a regular 354ml cup is equivalent to taking in 702mg of caffeine at one time. This is 1.75 times the 400mg daily caffeine intake recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Black insomnia coffee was originally only available in South Africa, but recently it has shown signs of expanding to the world, and has been sold on the famous e-commerce website Amazon.

St. Helena Coffee

St. Helena coffee comes from St. Helena Island, a remote island with mountainous subtropical climate. The remote location allows St. Helena Island to retain the purest ecological environment. The volcanic island geology also provides extremely fertile soil. Coupled with the concept of organic cultivation and preserving the original small bean species, St. Helena coffee has unique characteristics.

St. Helena coffee is famous for a famous person who shocked the world. He is Napoleon, the founder of the First French Empire. Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena Island from 1815 to 1821 and spent the last days of his life here. He said that the only good thing on St. Helena Island is coffee. St. Helena coffee began to attract the attention of the world and became popular in Paris. Before his death, Napoleon begged for a spoonful of St. Helena coffee, but failed. His adjutant Marshal Bertrand said: "Seeing this awe-inspiring man begging for a small spoonful of coffee now, my eyes are red..." Although the fate is so cruel, we still can't help but sigh at its magic - it is because Napoleon was imprisoned and died here that the world knows that this isolated island also produces rare coffee.

Over the past 10 years, coffee connoisseurs around the world have gradually become aware of St. Helena coffee and have been attracted by its uniqueness. St. Helena Island Coffee Company grows and processes coffee in a rigorous organic way and on a self-operated basis. The growth of coffee trees is completely dependent on natural conditions, with seabird droppings as natural fertilizer. Even livestock manure cannot be used because they may ingest non-organic substances during the breeding or artificial breeding process.

St. Helena is a coffee that wins with its fame and rarity. It only produces about 10 tons of green beans each year, which is much rarer than the 700-1,000 tons of Jamaican Blue Mountain. The price is also 3-4 times that of Blue Mountain. It is still one of the most valuable estate coffees in the world.

Hawaiian Kona Coffee

For a long time, Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona coffee have been known as the "king and queen of coffee". They can almost represent the top coffee in most people's cognition.

Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano on the southwest coast of Hawaii. Only coffee from this area can be called "Kona". Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climate conditions are indeed very suitable for coffee planting. There is plenty of rain and sunshine here, and there is no worry about frost damage. In addition, there is a strange natural phenomenon called "free shade". On most days, around 2 pm, white clouds will appear in the sky, providing the necessary shade for the coffee trees. In fact, it is such a superior natural condition that the coffee production in the Kona area is higher than any other plantation in the world, and it has always maintained a high quality. The unique growth and climate environment create a richer coffee taste.

Kona coffee is the only top-quality variety produced in the 50 states of the United States. Because it grows on volcanoes and has high-density artificial cultivation, each bean can be said to be a pampered "lady", beautiful, plump and with a baby-like delicate skin. Its average quality is very high, it is carefully processed, and it has a smooth and fragrant taste, an attractive nutty flavor, and a relatively balanced acidity. It is as charming as the colorful colors of the Hawaiian Islands and has a long aftertaste. But to the regret of coffee fans, only about 1,400 hectares of land produce Kona coffee. And because Hawaii has a high income level and many tourists, the price of Kona coffee is extremely expensive, and even "comprehensive Kona" (kona blend, Kona beans do not exceed 5%) is sold.

Bird shit coffee

Guano coffee is produced in Camocim Estate Farm in Brazil. Currently, this farm is the only one in the world that produces Guano coffee. The crested birds here live in the shaded coffee forest and are picky eaters of ripe coffee berries. Farmers do not regard these picky eaters of ripe coffee berries as pests, but as a natural supplement to the farm's flora and fauna. Therefore, Camocim Farm welcomes these birds and regards them as a member of the farm's agricultural ecosystem, and regards them as the most effective "workers" for picking coffee berries.

Because the wattled civet is a vegetarian, the bacteria and digestive juices in its digestive tract are very different from those of the omnivorous civet. Its digestive ability is relatively weak and it cannot digest coffee beans, so the pods and the beans wrapped in them will be excreted together. Compared with "cat poop coffee", "bird poop coffee" is better protected and has a much lower chance of being tainted with unpleasant flavors.

Once the birds eat the ripe coffee berries and defecate under the coffee trees, farm workers collect the odorless bird droppings and send them to a special drying site to dry and clean the shelled coffee beans, which are then stored, which takes about 3 months. Jacu Bird coffee has a pleasant, soft taste, a light sweet and dry nutty aroma, a long-lasting syrup, a moist aroma of black bread, and a hint of black pepper.

Pointed Bourbon Coffee

I don’t know how many people know the name Pointed Bourbon, but what is certain is that those who know it must be the most knowledgeable coffee enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs. Former British Prime Minister Churchill, former French President Chirac, and famous writer Balzac are all her die-hard fans.

Pointed Bourbon is a legendary coffee variety, named after the place where it was first widely planted in the New World, which was called Bourbon Island at that time, which is today's Reunion Island. Pointed Bourbon is a variant derived from Reunion Island. Normal Bourbon varieties have shorter beans and a slightly oval outline, but in 1810, a coffee farmer discovered a dwarf coffee plant in the garden with smaller leaves that resembled bay leaves, and the coffee beans were also more pointed and thin, with less yield than ordinary Bourbon. Botanists at the time confirmed that it was a new variant, commonly known as Pointed Bourbon.

In addition to its unique appearance, Pointed Bourbon has some unique characteristics that make it a unique variety. If we use simple words to describe Pointed Bourbon, it is "good flavor and low caffeine content." It is a natural semi-decaffeinated coffee, but it is still fragrant and has rich fruity notes. Therefore, the great French writer Balzac called it a delicious coffee that "can make you sleep well even after drinking a thousand cups."

At that time, Bourbon Point was favored by the royal family in the European continent. Louis XV of the Bourbon Dynasty declared it the best coffee in the world. Since then, princes and nobles have flocked to it. Not only that, due to its economic dominance, Bourbon Point is very important in Reunion. At that time, Bourbon Point was like Yang Guifei, who was favored by everyone. How glorious and beautiful. However, due to its low production capacity, which is far lower than other coffee varieties, it is very susceptible to external environmental disturbances and diseases. Several strong hurricanes and infectious diseases in the last century destroyed coffee planting. The area of ​​the island is limited. When sugar and rum became popular, sugarcane planting replaced coffee planting. Bourbon Point disappeared from the world coffee stage for a time and became a history and legend recorded in books.

In 1999, Japanese coffee expert Yoshiaki Kawashima came here to visit Laurina, but returned disappointed with the history of Laurina. Fortunately, local botanists in Reunion did not give up. After hard work, they finally found this unique wild mother tree on the island. Bourbon coffee cultivation gradually developed on a small scale and ushered in its revival. In 2006, Japanese experts selected 240 kilograms of coffee and shipped them to Japan. After roasting by Uejima Coffee, they were packaged into 100-gram pocket bags and sold them in one day for 7,350 yen. In 2011, the price rose to 8,750 yen per 100 grams (about 535 yuan), and some coffee shops sold them to coffee lovers at a high price of 5,250 yen per cup, which is several times more than Blue Mountain!

Ninety Plus Outlook Ruby

Some people call it "90+", but the manufacturer officially requested: please call us "90 Plus". Ninety Plus Coffee comes from the creator and supplier of fine coffee in the United States: Ninety Plus Coffee. Just a few years after the company was founded in 2006, Coffee has made coffee operators around the world recognize their names. Since the first coffee in 2007, it has been a precious first choice for experts and contestants in the coffee industry. Today, Ninety Plus is synonymous with the world's top fine coffee, with a taste and quality far better than any other expensive coffee.

Joseph Brodsky, the founder of Jiushijia, discovered early that the world's high-quality coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, and its different flavors of different varieties are no less than 10,000 grapes to make 1 million different wines. Jiushijia's raw beans are all from Ethiopia's original varieties, including the Greysia in Panama Manor, which was also transplanted from Ethiopia. Processing is Jiushijia's specialty. They separate these coffees one by one according to variety, microclimate, and fresh harvesting opportunities, and taste them one by one, and specially designed and processed for each taste into a craft close to art. Natural products have been refined, improved, and finally achieved the most beautiful posture before they can present the content to everyone.

Arabic coffee

Also known as Turkish coffee, it is the ancestor of European coffee and has been born for seven or eight hundred years. It is said that in Turkey, it is extremely noble to make a cup of traditional Turkish coffee for guests, and some even have to bathe and eat vegetarian food in advance.

There is a Turkish proverb saying: "Drink a cup of Turkish coffee and remember your friendship forty years." In the streets and alleys of Turkey, there are shops with "coffee" signs everywhere, and some even paint a small coffee cup with rays of heat appearing to be on the edge of the cup. It is said that in Turkey, there is a habit of coffee fortune telling. After drinking coffee, cover the coffee grounds that settle on the bottom of the cup on the plate and divine the fortune of the day according to the appearance formed on it.

Turkish coffee is not common, and its flavors are mainly divided into three flavors: bitter (Skaito), slightly sweet (Metrio) and sweet (Gligi). The cooking method is mainly to grind the coffee powder very finely, put it directly into the pot until it boils, then turn off the heat and pour it all into a cup.

When Turks drink coffee, the residue is not filtered out. Because the coffee is very fine, most of the coffee powder will settle at the bottom of the cup when tasting it. However, you can still drink some fine coffee powder when drinking, which is also the biggest feature of Turkish coffee. There is also a characteristic of Turkish coffee, which is that when drinking, you don’t add any companions or milk, and when cooking coffee, add some sugar first. The amount of sugar is mainly based on personal preference. Some people like to drink bitter ones without adding sugar at all, while some people like sweeter flavors.

In addition, in order to truly taste the unique taste of Turkish coffee, a cup of ice water will be included. Before drinking Turkish coffee, it is best to drink a sip of ice water to make the taste in your mouth reach the most sensitive level. Then you can slowly experience the slightly sour and bitter feeling of Turkish coffee!
