FrontStreet Coffee Shares How Coffee Shops Choose Coffee Beans

Check the Label

Don't overlook the labels on coffee bean packaging bags. They indicate variety, production date, origin, roast level, and other information that can help you understand a coffee bean and recognize its flavor profile.

Freshness

For a cup of coffee, aroma is the first sensory experience. At the same time, aroma is also an important indicator that determines the quality of this coffee, and freshness is an important guarantee for aroma.

Through the label, we first look at the date of the coffee beans. Among them, those with a production date within six months are relatively high-quality. Next, we also need to check the integrity of the packaging. If it's bagged coffee beans, check whether they are still in a vacuum state; if it's canned coffee beans with inert gas, we need to check whether the can is well-sealed.

Roasting and Production Process

Fresh coffee cherries themselves have no coffee aroma at all. Only after being roasted can you smell the rich coffee fragrance. Therefore, roasting is the process of transforming the internal components of coffee beans, and the quality of roasting directly determines whether the aroma of coffee beans is excellent. Only with high-quality green coffee beans, through proper roasting, is it possible to process good roasted coffee beans, which may provide an excellent prerequisite for making good coffee.

The roast level of coffee beans is generally divided into light roast, medium roast, and dark roast. The lighter the roast, the more acidic; the darker the roast, the more bitter. You can choose according to personal preference.
