"I don't have any hobbies, I just like drinking coffee." Xia Hannuo explained.
There are more and more people who have the same hobbies as Xia Hannuo.
Although Su Zhe has begun to like drinking coffee, if he is like Xia Hannuo, who grinds his own coffee beans every time he drinks coffee, and then brews it himself, he cannot do this.
Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you get excited occasionally and brew it yourself, just for the sake of freshness, but if it happens like this every time, then Su Zhe would rather not drink coffee.
And grinding coffee beans and brewing coffee by yourself doesn¡¯t make much sense to Su Zhe, because he can¡¯t taste any difference from buying coffee powder to brew.
Not long after, Xia Hannuo made coffee, poured a cup and placed it in front of Su Zhe: "Try it."
"Well, it smells really good, it looks good!" Su Zhe picked up the coffee cup, put it in front of him and smelled it before saying.
The aroma of this coffee is indeed very strong, making people want to taste it.
¡°I specially asked my friends from abroad to bring these coffee beans back. You can taste them and see if they suit your taste.¡± Xia Hannuo said.
Su Zhe smiled and was about to take a sip to test the taste of the coffee, but just as he took it to his mouth, he put it down again because he thought of something.
¡°Isn¡¯t this coffee just cat poop coffee?¡± Su Zhe asked.
Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of the Indonesian coconut cat (a civet cat) as raw material, so it is called "cat poop coffee". Arguably one of the most expensive coffees in the world, costing hundreds of dollars per pound.
Civet coffee is extracted from the feces of civet cats and then processed. This animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After fermentation is completed in the civet¡¯s stomach. Destroy protein, produce short peptides and more free amino acids, and the bitter taste of coffee will be reduced. The feces excreted are the main raw materials. Since coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted. After cleaning and roasting, they become Had cat poop coffee.
This will cause unparalleled magical changes in the coffee beans during the digestion process. The flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich and round sweet taste is unmatched by other coffee beans.
This is because the civet cat¡¯s digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, which makes the coffee produced by the protein much less bitter. Instead, it increases the mellow taste of the coffee beans, so it has become a hot commodity in the international market.
Coffee critic Chris Rubin said: "The aroma is so rich and intense, and the coffee is incredibly rich, almost like syrup. It's thick and chocolatey and lingers on the tongue for a long time." Lingering, pure aftertaste.¡±
But no matter how special civet coffee is. It doesn't matter how fragrant it tastes, or how rare it is. Su Zhe was unwilling to try drinking civet cat coffee.
Because when Su Zhe thought about the origin of civet cat coffee, he couldn't take it down. Whether it was because he was a layman or because he didn't understand the quality of life, in short, he didn't want to drink civet cat coffee.
This is why Su Zhe suddenly put down his coffee cup. He was worried that Xia Hannuo had brewed a cup of civet coffee for him.
"Don't worry! This is not civet coffee, but Geisha coffee, which is my favorite kind of coffee." Xia Hannuo smiled, she knew what Su Zhe was worried about.
Although civet coffee is very popular, there are still many people who don¡¯t like it, or are not used to drinking it, or they dare not drink it.
"That's good." Su Zhe smiled awkwardly before picking up the coffee and taking a sip.
This coffee tastes really good. It seems to be very different from the ordinary coffee Su Zhe drinks. As for what is special, Su Zhe cannot taste it or tell it.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For Su Zhe, it¡¯s enough if it tastes good. Where did so many things come from?
Su Zhe has heard of Gesha coffee, but this is his first time drinking Gesha coffee.
In 1931, Gesha seeds were discovered in the Gesha forest of Ethiopia.
Then the seeds of Geisha were sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya and introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953, and Panama in the 1970s by Mr. Francisco Serraxin of Dongba Seven Farm, from Catie in Costa Rica received seeds and then started planting Geisha coffee.
Because the yield of Geisha coffee is extremely low and it has to participate in bidding, this bean can be said to be hard-won.
In 1931, the unknown Geisha was exported from the Gesha Mountains in southwestern Ethiopia to Kenya, wandering in Tanzania and Costa Rica. In the 1960s, it was transplanted to Panama. It took nearly half a century before it became famous.Astonishingly, it defeated the ever-victorious Bourbon, Caturra, Carduai, Tibica and other varieties, and won the first prize in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Panama National Bean Cup Competition.
In 2007, Gesha won the championship again in the International Famous Bean Cup Competition hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). The bidding price was US$130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price ever for competition beans.
Geisha is grown in many parts of the world and is the new king of specialty coffee. Among them, Latin American countries such as Panama, Guatemala, and Colombia have relatively high quality and high prices.
"How does it taste? Does it suit your appetite?" Xia Hannuo asked expectantly.
"It tastes good. You don't have to ask me how to drink it. I'm just a layman and I can't tell you what's good." Su Zhe put down the coffee and said with a smile.
"You really love to joke, but just drink if you like." After saying that, Xia Hannuo also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Su Zhe was not joking, he was telling the truth. He really couldn't taste the specialness of this Geisha coffee, but Xia Hannuo didn't want to believe it, and he had nothing to do.
"I still have a lot of Gesha coffee beans here. You can take a can back and make a cup yourself at your leisure. Do you want it?" Xia Hannuo said.
"No, thank you for your kindness." Su Zhe had no intention of taking the coffee beans back.
"You're welcome! I still have quite a few here." Xia Hannuo continued.
"It's really unnecessary. I'm just a layman. This kind of coffee is a waste for me, so I won't take advantage of others." Su Zhe didn't like making coffee by himself because it was a waste of time.
And as Su Zhe said, he couldn¡¯t figure out the reason behind this Geisha coffee. To Su Zhe, there was no difference between Gesha coffee and ordinary coffee.
Besides, Su Zhe could tell that Xia Hannuo liked drinking this kind of coffee.
Therefore, he didn¡¯t want to waste it and was embarrassed to take away the Geisha coffee. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
