Types of Coffee Beans

Taste is a sensation produced by direct chemical stimulation, composed of four flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. It refers to the ability to perceive the taste of substances. Entering through the mouth and carefully experiencing various flavors through the tongue, coffee can be said to be the beverage with the most diverse taste experiences. So how should we choose and find coffee flavors that suit ourselves?

There are quite many factors that affect the flavor of a cup of coffee, from the variety of green coffee beans, the geographical environment of the production area, climate conditions, processing methods, roasting styles, to how the barista brews this cup of coffee—each step will have a decisive impact on a cup of coffee. The conditions in a good cup of coffee are all interconnected. Therefore, before choosing, we must first fully understand these factors that affect flavor, and then we can find a good cup of coffee that belongs to our own preferred flavor!

So in Luisa's stores, how can everyone choose coffee flavors that suit themselves? Luisa has long-term cooperation with excellent green bean suppliers and has an independent central roasting plant to control quality. They carefully select high-quality coffee beans from various origins worldwide. Through regular flavor research, multiple experiments, and cupping, they have found the most suitable roasting degree for each coffee bean—what we call the coffee roasting sweet spot—developing each coffee bean to its optimal state, allowing its aroma and rich layers to be fully released. Let's now find the coffee flavor that suits you best!

For Those Who Love Balanced, Mild, and Smooth Flavors

If you love balanced, mild, and smooth flavors, don't miss the classic Colombian and Brazilian selected coffee beans. Colombia and Brazil are the top 2 coffee bean producing countries in the world. Both are medium-roasted beans with moderate acidity, each with distinctive flavors. Colombia has distinct blueberry aroma, while Brazil has a subtle toffee sweetness and nutty notes, with a faint sweet aftertaste. Quite suitable for the mature and intellectual you.

For Those Who Love Bright Acidity and Strong Fruit Aromas

If you love bright acidity and strong fruit aromas, you should try the classic Kenyan and Yirgacheffe. Also medium-roasted, Kenyan coffee has bright acidity and you'll taste distinct plum notes when it enters your mouth, earning it the reputation as the king of African coffee beans. Yirgacheffe is even more of a bestseller in many stores, with bright floral notes and citrus-like sweetness when it enters your mouth. Yirgacheffe holds a quite important position among single-origin coffee beans!

For Those Who Love Rich, Mellow Flavors with Lower Acidity

If you love rich, mellow flavors with lower acidity, you can choose the classic Mandheling or Gourmet Deep Roast coffee beans. These are dark-roasted coffee beans that immediately give you a rich, thick feeling when they enter your mouth. Mandheling coffee will have distinct herbal and spice flavors, accompanied by a strong sweet aftertaste. If you really don't like sour flavors, Mandheling will be your best choice. Gourmet Deep Roast is Luisa's carefully selected dark roast formula bean—rich but not bitter with a slight smoky feeling, absolutely satisfying for those who love rich flavors.

The Perfect Blend: Mandheling + Brazil

Manba is a golden ratio blend of Mandheling and Brazilian coffee. The thick texture of Mandheling plus the smooth sweetness of Brazilian coffee beans achieve perfect flavor balance, definitely a classic coffee worth savoring slowly!
