How to recognise good coffee: A look at Tropical Mountains Coffee.
Good coffee is not just a delight for the palate, but also an experience for the senses. If you are looking for high-quality coffee, it is important to pay attention to several key features. Let’s start with the appearance of the beans. High-quality coffee beans are evenly roasted and have a glossy surface. They should be free from cracks and discoloration.
Aroma is another crucial factor. Freshly roasted coffee emits a rich, inviting bouquet with notes of chocolate, nuts, or fruity nuances. Smell the beans and let yourself be captivated by the aromas. Another important criterion is freshness. Make sure the coffee is as fresh as possible, ideally purchased within three to six months of roasting. Freshness has a significant impact on the flavor.
When you try a cup of Tropical Mountains coffee, pay attention to the taste. It should be well balanced, with a pleasant acidity and sweet, chocolaty notes. The flavors are often complex and harmonious, making every cup a special experience.
A further indication of quality is the so-called SCA Score. The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has developed a grading system for green coffee; all coffees we use have a score of at least 80, meeting the definition of specialty coffee.
