Do you really understand small-grain coffee and know how to drink it correctly?

As the name suggests, small-grain coffee refers to coffee with smaller coffee beans. This type of coffee is mostly produced in mountainous areas such as Yunnan. Due to the particularity of its growing environment, it has a unique taste and rich aroma. Because of its unique growing environment and characteristics, there are some things to note when drinking small-grain coffee.

1. Quality issues

Since the growing area of ​​arabica coffee is relatively concentrated and it has been popular in the market in recent years, some unscrupulous merchants may pass off inferior quality coffee beans as arabica coffee. Such coffee beans not only have a bad taste, but may also contain harmful substances such as pesticide residues and excessive heavy metals. Long-term consumption will cause harm to human health. When purchasing arabica coffee, be sure to choose formal channels and purchase products with quality assurance.

2. Brewing method

Many people think that brewing coffee only requires grinding the coffee beans into powder and then adding hot water. But in fact, the way of brewing small-grain coffee has a great impact on the taste. The grinding degree of coffee beans should be moderate. Too coarse or too fine will affect the taste. The control of water temperature is also very critical. Different coffee beans require different water temperatures to stimulate their aroma and taste. If the brewing method is improper, it may cause the coffee to taste bitter and sour, and may even release harmful substances in the coffee beans.

3. Drinking Amount

Although espresso is delicious, it should not be consumed in excess. The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant. Excessive intake can lead to problems such as accelerated heartbeat, insomnia, and anxiety. Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be especially cautious when drinking it. The time to drink coffee is also important. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach will irritate the gastric mucosa, and drinking coffee before bed will affect sleep.

4. Matching issues

Small-grain coffee has a strong taste, but it does not mean that it can be paired with any food. The wrong pairing may ruin the taste of the coffee and even affect your health. Eating it with greasy food may increase the burden on your stomach; eating it with high-protein food may affect the absorption of caffeine. When drinking small-grain coffee, you should choose a suitable pairing, such as pairing it with some desserts or simple food, which can enhance the taste without causing too much burden on the body.

To sum up, small-grain coffee should not be drunk casually. If you want to truly appreciate the unique charm of small-grain coffee, you not only need to choose high-quality products, but also need to master the correct brewing method, drink in moderation, and pay attention to diet. Only then can we enjoy a cup of truly good coffee in this fast-paced era.
