FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Chlorogenic Acid in Coffee Beans
If you dislike the acidity in coffee, it might be because you've encountered "bad acidity."
Acidity can be good or bad. In English, pleasant sour tastes like lemon and berries are called "Acidity," while unpleasant sour tastes like vinegar and chemical acidity are referred to as "Sour."
As a naturally acidic beverage, coffee also contains both good and bad types of acidity. In fact, all coffee contains a rather unfriendly acid - chlorogenic acid.
Although chlorogenic acid has health benefits (antibacterial, anti-tumor, etc.), it tastes astringent and sour. Coffee is actually the plant with the highest chlorogenic acid content in nature.
However, the chlorogenic acid content in coffee also depends on the coffee variety, growing altitude, and growing environment.
Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the lower the chlorogenic acid content. Arabica coffee beans also contain less chlorogenic acid than Robusta beans. Therefore, when tasting coffee from high-altitude regions, we can feel acidity without the astringent taste.
Interestingly, coffee seems to have a kind of spiritual nature - when growing conditions are poor, the accumulation of chlorogenic acid increases significantly, as if reminding coffee farmers to take good care of it.
Although chlorogenic acid doesn't taste good, weakening this flavor is not difficult - simply deepen the roasting degree.
It can be said that it is precisely this characteristic of chlorogenic acid that makes most people instinctively reject the acidity in coffee when they first encounter it.
