Taste: The Foundation of Coffee Flavor

Taste is a sensation produced by direct chemical stimulation, composed of four basic flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. It refers to the ability to perceive the flavor of substances. Entering through the mouth and carefully perceived through the tongue, coffee can be said to be the beverage with the most diverse taste sensations. How exactly should we choose and find coffee flavors that suit us?

Factors Affecting Coffee Flavor

Many factors influence the flavor of a cup of coffee—from the variety of coffee beans, the geographical environment of the growing region, climate conditions, processing methods, roasting style, to how the barista brews the coffee. Each step has a decisive impact on the final cup. The conditions for a good coffee are all interconnected, so before choosing, we must fully understand these factors that affect flavor. Only then can we find a good coffee with flavors that truly suit ourselves!

Choosing a Single-Origin Coffee Bean That Suits You

The diversity of coffee flavors needs to be experienced through trial and error to be clearly understood. Even if someone tells you that Ethiopian Yirgacheffe has floral and fruity aromas, it's probably difficult to imagine exactly what that flavor is like. Instead, when you walk into a coffee shop, it's better to directly tell the owner what kinds of coffee you don't like—for example, some people are very afraid of coffee's acidity or hate coffee that's too bitter. Of course, you can also clearly specify what kind of coffee you like and let the owner help you choose a suitable single-origin coffee.

Of course, to enjoy coffee's flavor, drinking it without sugar or milk is probably a basic requirement. So for those who cannot accept coffee's original taste, espresso coffee might be a good choice. When selecting single-origin coffee beans, you can also chat with the owner about some knowledge of the bean's origin, which can help you better understand the differences between coffee from each region.
