Chapter 914: Gourmet Coffee
Williams gritted his teeth in his heart and secretly said: "How can such a bad place grow such a good coffee? This is not scientific!"
Although he didn't want to believe that the best coffee could be produced here, Williams couldn't help but speed up his pace to follow. He had to personally make sure that the coffee produced here was just a vain aroma, so that he could laugh at Xiao Ping when he turned around, who told him to make a long journey to such a place to taste coffee, and dare to talk back to himself?
On the third floor of the baking room, there is a room that has been specially renovated into an elegant lounge. Since this is a coffee garden, the theme of the lounge is naturally related to coffee. There are all kinds of coffee machines here, from computer-controlled, fully automatic coffee machines, to old-fashioned coffee machines that require full manual operation. One of the coffee machines was even an antique from the 18th century, but this old coffee machine still works and makes delicious coffee.
Ford and the others are all experts, and they can't help but nod secretly when they see these coffee machines. Even Williams has to admit that the variety of coffee machines here is indeed enough, even more than the collection of the coffee shop he opened in Germany.
In anticipation of everyone, Wang Feng skillfully ground the coffee beans into powder, and then added them to the coffee machine, and it didn't take long to brew a cup of fragrant coffee.
After the baptism of high temperature and high pressure steam, the aroma of coffee beans is fully stimulated. The rich aroma quickly wafted in the lounge, and Ford, who smelled the fragrance, widened his eyes and couldn't even speak: "This ...... The aroma is simply amazing, I have never seen such a good coffee in all my years of work. I really didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it!"
Just as Ford sighed, Wang Feng had already taken out a few silver spoons and handed them to the hands of the three coffee tasters. The trio expertly scooped up a spoonful of coffee and sucked it into their mouths. At the same time, it makes a loud noise.
Perhaps in the eyes of the layman, this method of drinking coffee is a bit rude. But if you want to fully taste the taste of coffee, this is the right way to do it.
As soon as Ford and the others sucked the coffee into their mouths, the expectant expressions on their faces immediately changed. Although from the aroma of the coffee before, the three of them had expected that the taste of this coffee would definitely not be bad. However, when they actually tasted it, they realized that their previous estimate was still too conservative, and the taste of this coffee was better than they imagined!
Ford closed his eyes and let the coffee tumble in his mouth, savoring each flavor carefully, his face full of enjoyment and intoxication. Piero was surprised. Until now, he has not recovered from the shock of this coffee. Even Williams, who has always looked down on Xiao Ping and this coffee plantation, can only reluctantly admit that this is indeed the best quality coffee he has ever tasted, and compared to this coffee, the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee is simply as inferior as the instant coffee encapsulated in a small plastic bag.
After a while, Ford reluctantly swallowed the coffee in his mouth, opened his eyes and gave Xiao Ping a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Xiao, please forgive me for being rude." Now I solemnly tell you that the coffee from your coffee garden is indeed the best coffee I have ever tasted in my career!"
Piero, who came back to his senses, also nodded in agreement: "God, I am actually lucky enough to taste such a good coffee." I didn't expect there to be such a big surprise this time!"
Only Williams was reluctant to praise Xiao Ping's coffee like his peers, so he just nodded lightly and said: "This coffee is indeed okay, but there is still a big gap compared with the top coffee in the world." ”
Listening to Williams, both Ford and Piero looked at him in surprise. In the eyes of the two, this is undoubtedly the world's top coffee. But Williams made such an unbearable assessment, obviously because he had an argument with Xiao Ping just now, and now he is looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
Williams, of course, could detect the surprised gaze of his peers. But he just has the mentality that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he doesn't care about the opinions of the other two at all.
When it comes to coffee tasting, there is a strong subjectivity in the industry. After all, everyone's hobbies and tastes are different. Some people think that a certain type of coffee is very good, but others think that coffee is just a general thing, and it is not uncommon. Williams took advantage of this loophole in coffee identification. To put it bluntly, Xiao Ping's coffee quality is average.
However, generally speaking, there is always a general standard for judging the quality of coffee, for example, Blue Mountain coffee is recognized as the best coffee in the world. While Xiao Ping's coffee quality is obviously much better than that of Blue Mountain coffee, Williams insists that his coffee is ordinary, obviously wanting to revenge his personal vendetta.
However, even if Ford and Piero were unhappy with Williams's approach, they could not do anything about it. Williams only needs to say "personal tastes are different" to block back the blame of the two.
Xiao Ping can naturally see through Williams's little abacus, but he doesn't care about it. After all, just by the reaction of Ford and Piero, you can see how high the quality of this coffee is. For a knowledgeable coffee taster to lose his temper like this, when this coffee is brought to the market, it is sure to cause a huge sensation again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping completely ignored Williams's evaluation, and said to Ford and the others with a smile: "It is really an honor for our coffee to be so highly praised by the two of them." When these coffees are brought to the market, I believe that more people will like our coffees as much as the two of them. ”
Hearing Xiao Ping say that these coffees were about to be introduced to the market, Ford and Piero both had their own little calculations in their hearts. Not only are the two well-known coffee tasters, but they both run their own coffee bars. They all thought that if they could serve such delicious coffee to customers in the coffee bar, it would not only be good for the coffee bar's business, but more importantly, it would also increase their reputation in this industry.
With such a big benefit in front of him, the young Piero couldn't hold his breath at first, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, how can I buy the coffee beans here? Can I sign a supply agreement with you now?"
Seeing that Piero had already spoken, Ford was not far behind and said: "I also want to sign a supply agreement with you, and the price and delivery period are negotiable!"
Facing the two people who couldn't wait to buy their own coffee, Xiao Ping waved his hand and said: "I have decided that all the coffee produced in this coffee garden will be sold exclusively by the French Holy Pot Company. ”
Xiao Ping's words disappointed Ford and Piero, but he then smiled and said, "But I am very touched by the love of the two of them for the Holy Pot Coffee, so I have decided to provide a certain amount of coffee to the two of them every year in the future!"
Hearing Xiao Ping's words, Ford and Piero immediately smiled happily. (To be continued......)
