Qianjie-brief introduction to the knowledge of brewing and tasting period of red cherry press pot
What is the flavor period:
There is a period of best taste of coffee after roasting, which is called flavor period or appreciation period. The reason is that freshly roasted coffee has a self-fermentation process within a week, which makes the flavor more perfect. After this stage, it begins to oxidize and volatilize, and the beautiful coffee flavor begins to lose gradually. Therefore, the best taste period for coffee is usually within two weeks after roasting. During these two weeks, the coffee will have a very fresh aroma and rich oil, the coffee with sweetness has obvious sweet return, and the coffee powder has obviously expanded after being infiltrated by hot water. This is often a simple way to identify whether it is freshly roasted. Of course, different degrees of roasted coffee taste period will be different, therefore, boutique coffee will be marked on the packaging of different flavor period or taste period.
Therefore, Qianjie suggests that friends who buy coffee beans have the best drink within a month, so Qianjie today will share it with a brewing pot of Yega Xuefei during the tasting period.
