Varieties Of Many Kinds Of Coffee
Buying coffee may not be that difficult
if there are only two choices on the
shelves. But what happens when you have
more than ten kinds of coffee to choose
from? A little difficult, yes, but still
manageable. However, what happens when
you have as many as 30 varieties lined
up on the shelf, which coffee would you
choose? A little bit crazy I bet.
This, however, is the reality of things.
In a coffee specialty shop you can find
more than 30 different kinds of coffee,
more brands that you have ever seen some
of which you’ve never heard of and more
unique flavors and combinations than any
coffee shop could ever provide.
Whenever you buy coffee you get to see a
lot of French, Italian, Viennese, and
Continental names on the packaging.
Usually, these brands are made from
darker coffees and don’t really mean
that the beans themselves came from
these regions.
But instead of the location where they
were planted and harvested, these coffee
names are dependent on the actual length
of time the beans were roasted. For
example, Italian roasts are generally
darker in color since they have been
roasted longer than the Viennese coffee,
and so on.
If European names refer to the length of
being roasted, non-European names refer
to the origin of the coffee bean. So if
you see a coffee named Mexican roast,
then the beans came from Mexico.
There are other names on coffee labels.
One of the more exclusive ones is the
Estate named brands. Estate labeled
coffees are distinct in a way that the
coffee has been grown, harvested and
processed in a single farm or estate.
Estate coffee growers pride themselves
of having their coffees pure.
They never mixed their own estate coffee
varieties with other coffees the grew
and were harvested in other regions.
Probably, one of the most known and
trusted estate grown coffee is the
Wallensford Blue Mountain brand, which
is grown exclusively in Jamaica.
We’ve talked about names referring to
roasts and place of origin, now let’s
take a look at the various flavored
coffee names. Generally, these kinds of
coffees are less expensive but are
really good nonetheless. Flavored coffee
names are the ones that have the words
cr?me, chocolate, vanilla, or any nut or
fruit names attached to the word
“coffee.”
Unlike most of the pure coffees which
are roasted black, flavored coffees are
roasted medium brown. The flavor
themselves are added into the coffee in
liquid form.
Blends, on the other hand, are a mix of
two or more coffees. The main
consideration and certainly the key
feature of blends is that the coffees
that are mixed together should
complement each other.
The aroma, taste, and flavor should
never be distinct but at the same time
harmonious. Just like estate coffees,
there are several well known house
blends that have trusted coffee
combinations.
There are also various organic coffees
and other commercial brand names that
have their own distinct flavors. Just
remember to choose calmly and don’t get
overwhelmed by the number of varieties
out there.
