Front Street-Introduction to Coffee Bean Blossom Fruity Fragrance
There are mainly four factors that affect the flavor of coffee. The following will explain how to choose the coffee beans that suit you from the four aspects of variety, origin, processing method, and roasting degree.
Why does coffee taste fruity?
The reason why coffee smells (and drinks) has a "fruity" flavor is ultimately because it contains many aromatic substances that are similar to fruity aromas, most of which are esters, ketones, alcohols, such as fatty acids, mushroom compounds, amino acids, etc., which are all sources of fruity aroma components and are stored in green beans in a stable form.
What makes coffee truly exude a fruity aroma is the roasting process. As the Menard reaction and caramelization reaction of the green beans continue to occur during the heating process, various volatile aroma substances will continue to be derived internally. When certain compound components reach a certain concentration, it will present a rich and fruity aroma that may be enthusiastic, warm, colorful, or sweet, thus stimulating the impression of tropical fruits in our memories.
Which coffee beans are more likely to have fruity flavors?
Judging from cupping experience in the past, the fruits that most commonly appear alone in coffee flavors include citrus, passion fruit, mango, pineapple (pineapple), guava, jackfruit, grapes, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, apples, etc. Because their aromas are relatively representative, they can leave a deep impression on everyone who has tasted them, and they are easier to capture once they appear in coffee.
The flavor of this type of fruit is not limited to specific production areas or varieties. Many high-altitude coffee beans in Africa, Central and South America will exude such complex fruity aroma characteristics from time to time. Below Front Street lists the top five floral and fruity coffees:
