Coffee bean buying guide: starting from the planting area, choose the most suitable entry-level coffee beans for you

Coffee beans are an important raw material for making coffee. Different types of coffee beans will bring different tastes and flavors. For those who want to start tasting coffee, it is very important to choose coffee beans that suit their taste. The following will provide you with a purchase guide based on the planting area.

First of all, it is very important to understand where coffee beans are grown. There are three main production areas in the world: Latin America, Africa and Asia. Latin American production areas are mainly Brazil, Colombia and other countries, where most of the coffee beans with medium acidity and high sweetness are produced; African production areas are mainly Ethiopia, Kenya and other countries, where the diversity and rich aroma are famous in the world; and Asia is mainly Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries, where coffee beans with strong bitterness and special flavor are grown.

Secondly, when choosing an entry-level coffee that suits your taste, you can consider the following points: First, the degree of roasting. There are three types of roasting: light roasting, medium roasting, and dark roasting. Light roasted coffee beans are lighter in color, have a high acidity, and a fresh taste; medium roasted coffee beans have a moderate color, a balanced acidity and bitterness; and dark roasted coffee beans have a darker color and a distinct bitterness. Choose the appropriate degree of roasting according to your personal preferences.

The last is single origin or mixed origin. Single origin refers to coffee beans from the same country or region, so that you can better experience the unique flavor of the region; while mixed origin is a combination of coffee beans grown in different countries or regions, which has a more balanced and stable taste.

In short, when buying entry-level coffee beans, you should choose according to your taste and flavor preferences. Knowing the planting area, roasting degree, and whether it is a single origin can help us better choose entry-level coffee beans that suit our taste.
