Coffee beans contain about 5% to 8% sugar, and most of them are converted into caramel after baking, which is the source of fragrance and bitterness, and the unconverted sugar leaves a little sweetness; Tannic acid is released during baking, which combines with caramel to produce a slightly bitter sweetness. Therefore, people generally have bitter, sour, sweet, fragrant and astringent tastes for coffee.
