"I don't have any hobbies, I just like to drink coffee." Xia Hannuo explained.

There are more and more people who have the same hobbies as Xia Hannuo.

Although Su Zhe is also starting to like to drink coffee now, if he is like Xia Hannuo, every time he drinks coffee, he grinds coffee beans by himself, and then brews and drinks them himself, he can't do this.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you get excited once in a while, you just want to have a freshness, but if it's like this every time, then Su Zhe would rather not drink coffee.

And grinding coffee beans by himself, and then brewing coffee by himself, it doesn't make much sense to Su Zhe, because he can't taste the taste of it compared to buying coffee powder to brew, what is the difference.

It didn't take long for Xia Hannuo to brew coffee, pour a cup and put it in front of Su Zhe: "You taste it." ”

"Well, it smells so good, it looks good!" Su Zhe picked up the coffee cup, put it in front of him and sniffed it, and said.

The aroma of this coffee is really strong, and it makes you want to taste it.

"I specially asked a friend abroad to bring back this coffee bean, you can taste it, see if it is not to your taste." Xia Hannuo said.

Su Zhe smiled and was about to take a sip to try the taste of this coffee, but just as he got it to his mouth, he put it down again, because he thought of something.

"This coffee can't be cat coffee, right?" Su Zhe asked.

Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of Indonesian coconut cats (a kind of civet cat) as raw materials, so it is called "cat poop coffee". Arguably one of the most expensive coffees in the world, costing up to a few hundred dollars per pound.

Civet coffee is extracted from civet feces and processed. This animal feeds mainly on coffee beans. After the fermentation is completed in the civet stomach. Destroying proteins, producing short peptides and more free amino acids, the bitterness and astringency of coffee will be reduced, and then the feces excreted are the main raw materials, because coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted, and after cleaning and roasting, they will become cat poop coffee.

In this way, during the digestion process, the coffee beans will have an incomparable magical change. The flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich and round sweet taste is also incomparable to other coffee beans.

This is due to the fact that the civet's digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee due to the protein much less bitter, but increasing the roundness of this coffee bean, so it has become a sought-after item in the international market.

Coffee critic Chris Rubin said: "The bouquet is so rich and intense, and the coffee is incredibly intense, almost like syrup." Its thickness and taste of chocolate, and linger on the tongue for a long time, a pure aftertaste. ”

But no matter how special the civet coffee is. It doesn't matter how fragrant it tastes, or how rare it is. Su Zhe was reluctant to try to drink civet coffee.

Because when Su Zhe thought of the origin of civet coffee, he couldn't swallow it, whether he was a layman or didn't understand the quality of life, in short, he didn't want to drink civet coffee.

This is also the reason why Su Zhe suddenly put down the coffee cup now, he was worried that Xia Hannuo would make a cup of civet coffee for him.

"Don't worry! It's not a civet coffee, it's Geisha coffee, and it's one of my favorite coffees. Xia Hannuo smiled, she knew what Su Zhe was worried about.

Although civet coffee is very popular, there are still many people who don't like it, or are not used to drinking it, or they dare not drink it.

"That's good." Su Zhe smiled awkwardly before picking up the coffee again and taking a sip.

This coffee tastes really good, it seems to be very different from the ordinary coffee that Su Zhe drinks, as for the special features, Su Zhe can't taste it, and he can't say it.

For Su Zhe, it's okay to drink well, where did so many things come from.

Su Zhe had heard of Geisha coffee, but this was the first time he had drunk Geisha coffee.

In 1931, the seeds of Geisha were discovered in the forests of Ethiopia.

Then the seeds of Geisha were sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya, where they were introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953, and Panama in the 1970s by Mr. Francisco Cosera of the Seven Farms of Dongba and Catie in Costa Rica, who received the seeds before they began to grow Geisha coffee.

Because the yield of Geisha coffee is extremely low and it has to participate in the bidding, this bean can be said to be a hard come by.

In 1931, Geisha was exported from the Geisha Mountains in southwest Ethiopia to Kenya, wandered Tanzania and Costa Rica, and transplanted to Panama in the 60s, and then survived nearly half a century before it became a blockbuster, defeating the victorious Bourbon, Kadulla, Kaduai, Tabica and other varieties, and won the first prize in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Panama National Treasure Bean Cupping Competition.

In 2007, Geisha won the International Bean Cup sponsored by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), and the bidding price was $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a competition bean.

Cultivated in many parts of the world, Geisha is the new king of specialty coffee, with Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and other Latin American countries having higher quality and higher prices.

"How's it tasted, is it still appetizing?" Xia Hannuo asked expectantly.

"It's delicious, how to drink it well, you don't need to ask me, I'm just a layman, and I can't tell what is good." After Su Zhe put down his coffee, he smiled.

"You really like to laugh, but if you like to drink." After speaking, Xia Hannuo also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Su Zhe wasn't joking, he was telling the truth, he really couldn't drink the special features of this Geisha coffee, but Xia Hannuo didn't want to believe it, and he couldn't help it.

"I still have a lot of Geisha coffee beans here, you can bring a can back and you can make your own cup in your spare time, do you want?" Xia Hannuo said.

"No, thank you for your kindness." Su Zhe didn't plan to bring the coffee beans back.

"You're welcome! I have quite a few more here. Xia Hannuo continued.

"I really don't need it, I'm just a layman, and it's a waste for me to drink this kind of coffee, so I won't take it away." Su Zhe doesn't like to make his own coffee because it's too much of a waste of time.

And as Su Zhe said, this Geisha coffee, he can't drink it, and Geisha coffee is no different from ordinary coffee, for Su Zhe, there is no difference.

Besides, Su Zhe could see that Xia Hannuo liked this kind of coffee very much.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste it, and he was embarrassed to take the Geisha coffee. (To be continued......)
