Coffee has a universal language…drink me! But sometimes it can seem confusing on what coffee to choose from
The Coffee “bean” doesn’t start off as a bean, it derives from a coffee “tree” or shrub that grows a jasmine like flower before turning into a cherry, which then will “shed” to produce two seeds per cherry.
Let’s break down the two types of coffee plants that you might already know…
-Arabica: This type of coffee contains the least amount of caffeine. This type of coffee grows in mountainous regions such as Costa Rica and Jamaica.
-Robusta- This type of coffee tends to have more caffeine than Arabica beans, Unlike the Arabica bean, robusta comes with a more bitter taste. It is commonly used in instant and ground coffees to reduce price and increase self life. (Java dog doesn’t believe in this type of coffee)
Some Common Roasting Profiles that you might know are:
-Medium, City, Full City: You will find this roasting profile in most coffee houses. It has less acidity and has a full developed flavor.
-Vienna: You will have a hard time tasting the origin in this roasting profile due to it’s smokey, leathery taste.
Coffee Flavors are often described from the Aroma, the Acidity, the Body, and the Flavor (and you just thought you were just to drink it..)
-The Aroma: Before you even take your first sip what do you smell? Does it smell Earthy, Chocolatey, Nutty, and or Fruity.
-The Acidity: What is the heaviness or thickness that the coffee makes in your mouth? Is it Bright, Sharp, and or Vibrant.
-The Body: How does the coffee feel in your mouth? Does the coffee have a medium body, a heavy body, or a thin body.
-The Flavor: What is the richness, the range, the complexity, and the balance of the coffee?
Java’s Moral: With whatever type of coffee you like to drink, make sure you enjoy it with others. Remember to cuddle with your furry friend while drinking it!
