Influenced by the world's third wave of coffee aesthetics, more and more people are able to accept the rich acidity of specialty coffee, appreciate it, and subsequently fall in love with this charming acidic aroma. Of course, excessive acidity is a negative flavor in coffee, but a refreshing acidity like that of fruit is a pleasant good taste, like sipping the fragrance of a bouquet of fresh flowers.

Coffee Organic Acids Flavors

Citric Acid (citrus fruit acidity): The citric acid found in Arabica coffee grown at very high altitudes has an acidity like lemon, citrus, or grapefruit. Some research reports indicate that citric acid accounts for most of the acidity in coffee.

Malic Acid (apple/green grape-like acidity): An acidity like that of apples or pears. An acidity that contains both sweetness and refreshing taste.

Phosphoric Acid: An acidity that does not belong to organic acids, enhancing the sweetness of coffee. Phosphoric acid is found in tropical fruits like grapefruit or mango.

Acetic Acid: The main component of vinegar. Too much acetic acid in coffee creates negative acidity. Appropriate amounts of acetic acid bring a refreshing acidity like lime.

Tartaric Acid: An acid mainly found in grapes. In coffee, it creates the aroma of red wine and grapes.

Quinic Acid (bitter): Quinic acid is a bad acidity for coffee. During coffee roasting, the more quinic acid produced, the more the quality of the coffee declines. (This is related to taste, not health) This acidity appears in over-roasted coffee, stale coffee, and coffee that has been left for a long time after extraction.

Chlorogenic Acid (bitter/astringent): Also known as coffee tannic acid, it loses a lot during the roasting process, and quinic acid is produced when chlorogenic acid decomposes.
