Coffee is Divided into Two Major Categories: Black Coffee and Milk Coffee ☕

Today we will learn about what black coffee includes. Black coffee refers to drinking coffee without adding sucrose, sugar, milk, coffee creamer, or other ingredients. It is also called black coffee. Many Europeans have this habit. Since black coffee contains no additional ingredients, it is quite bitter (especially high-grade coffee), and generally Asians don't particularly enjoy it.

Black coffee emphasizes the aroma of the coffee itself. Aroma is the lifeblood of coffee quality and best reflects the coffee production process and roasting techniques. The climate of the production region, variety, refining process, harvest, storage, and whether the consuming country's roasting techniques are appropriate are all conditions that determine the aroma of coffee beans.

Americano coffee is a type of black coffee, belonging to the relatively lighter category of black coffee.

Black coffee refers to coffee brewed using only coffee beans or coffee grounds, without adding other ingredients (such as milk, sugar, etc.), resulting in a bitter taste.

"Americano coffee" is a type of coffee and the most common variety. It is black coffee made using a drip coffee maker, or made by adding a large amount of water to espresso. The taste is relatively light. Because the general extraction time is relatively long (about four to five minutes), the caffeine content is higher.

Steaming hot coffee and black coffee can help with weight loss, but milk coffee won't work 😁

Drinking coffee can accelerate metabolism, promote digestion, improve constipation, and can improve rough skin conditions. Coffee can accelerate calorie burning, achieving weight loss effects. This theory is basically correct, though from a calorie perspective, it doesn't align with weight loss principles.

Milk coffee means coffee with milk added. If you like coffee, it's better to drink single-origin coffee, preferably black coffee ✌ But the premise is to choose good beans that are freshly roasted.

So what types of coffee beans are there? There are many varieties, and when choosing, you can select according to your preferences. Below is a detailed introduction to coffee types.

1. Blue Mountain Coffee

Named after the mountain, produced in Jamaica in the West Indies, grown at altitudes between 1,000 to 2,500 meters. The beans are large, of excellent quality, with a harmonious taste. The three flavors of sweet, sour, and bitter are naturally balanced and full of aroma, making it a world-recognized premium coffee.

2. Colombian Coffee

Named after the producing country, produced in southern Colombia (the world's second-largest coffee-producing country), cultivated on plateaus above 1,000 meters in the Andes Mountains. The annual production is rare and precious, also known as "Emerald Coffee." The color is clear and transparent, the beans are uniform in size and complete in shape, with the aesthetic beauty of "emerald" roundness and transparency. The sour, bitter, and sweet flavors are heavy and rich, with a color like fine wine.

3. Brazilian Coffee

Named after the producing country, produced in South America, also known as "Santos." Brazil is the world's largest coffee-producing country. When the coffee bean embryos are very fresh, they are manually refined and naturally dried in a shaded room for about 60-70 days, allowing the sweetness of the pulp to fully penetrate into the beans, hence the name. It has a soft and light aroma, with a mellow and slightly sour taste, characteristic sweetness, and mild properties.

4. Charcoal Roasted Coffee

Named after the roasting method, produced in Japan, also known as "Japanese Charcoal Roast," made from a blend of Brazilian and Mandheling beans. It has a strong bitter taste, special aroma, sweetness with bitterness, and a rich charcoal-roasted fragrance.

5. Italian Coffee

Named after its flavor profile, created in Italy, also known as "espresso," using professional charcoal-roasted coffee as the base beans. Characterized by deep roasting, it adopts Italian Espresso characteristic roasting, with a special style and strong properties, making it a rare delicious coffee.

6. Mandheling Coffee

Named after its production region, produced in Indonesia, also known as "Sumatra." It has an extremely strong flavor of fragrance, richness, mellowness, and bitterness, with a slight sweetness characteristic. It's a coffee without sourness, possessing masculine qualities—steadfast and persistent, making it the most individualistic variety among coffees.

New Product Recommendation—Bubble Coffee

☕ Bubble Coffee

To toast to summer, of course, a cup of iced coffee is essential. This summer, with creatively imaginative coffee drinks, dare you give them a try?

As imaginative as you can be, coffee can be just as creative. There's only what you can't think of, but no summer new combinations that the coffee team can't create. Bubble coffee is currently the most popular 😊

Why coffee sparkling water became popular can be answered by looking at its great partner—sparkling water.

Sparkling water is "carbonated water" in Japanese and "Sparkling Water" in English. Nowadays, in European and American countries, soda drinks that have dominated for years are losing favor, and sparkling water is gradually becoming people's favorite. The root cause should be attributed to people's increasing emphasis on health.

With a fresh taste and fine bubbles, rich in mineral elements beneficial to the human body including potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, when coffee is infused with bubbles, the taste is very magical. The coffee is not bitter but instead produces a slight sweetness. It's no longer like a coffee but more like a beverage. Even if you're afraid of bitterness, you absolutely need to try a cup ✌.

Bubble coffee can also have refreshing and cooling effects—sparkling water can stimulate taste buds and achieve a refreshing effect, and when carbon dioxide is released, it carries away heat, having excellent cooling properties.
