Q 1: Do people in coffee-producing countries also like coffee?
Most people don't like to drink coffee. Frankly speaking, except for Ethiopia, the holy land of coffee, the citizens here consume about 40% of the local coffee products, and drinking coffee is their daily life. Most people in other coffee-producing countries don't have the habit of drinking coffee, or only drink cheap coffee that can't reach the level of export, because after the raw coffee beans are strictly graded, the exported coffee beans are high-grade products with defective beans removed.
Q2: Why do coffee fruits have to be picked by hand?
Because it is necessary to manually identify the maturity of coffee beans. Even if the fruits of coffee trees grow on the same branch, the ripening speed may not be exactly the same. However, ensuring the complete ripening of coffee fruits is one of the foundations for making high-quality coffee, so fruit farmers must pick them themselves. Of course, in order to save time, some agricultural gardens will pick all the fruits at once and then sort them.
Q3: Can coffee beans be eaten directly?
It is not recommended to eat, it is not easy to digest, but Arabica beans have a unique natural aroma, and some people may think it is delicious! (Most baristas should have eaten coffee beans raw, right? Hahaha)
Q4: When planting coffee trees, will all the nearby trees be cut down?
No, maybe we will plant tall trees specially. Because the coffee tree is afraid of direct sunlight, it was originally planted next to tall trees such as banana trees, and some farms will deliberately plant tall trees next to the coffee tree to keep out the sun.
Q5: What is organic coffee?
Without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers at all, the fruit produced by naturally cultivated coffee trees is called organic coffee. Today's coffee industry attaches great importance to production history and sustainable business model, and is willing to explore the planting principles that conform to health and nature.
Q6: How many calories does a cup of coffee have?
American coffee and other black coffee: about 4 kilocalories.
Milk coffee: 4 kcal+milk calories > 50 kcal
Flavor coffee: 4 kcal+calories of milk/syrup >; 100 kcal
Special black coffee: 4 kcal+juice calories > 100 kcal
Every kind of coffee has different calories, so we can't generalize. But we usually recommend that friends who exercise and need to maintain their weight drink coffee without juice, syrup and cream or milk. Of course, the milk coffee with the same style and capacity may have a little less heat than the specific heat, because the ice without heat replaces the milk.
Q7: How much caffeine does a cup of coffee contain?
100 ml of coffee contains 40mg-70mg of caffeine. We usually think that caffeine content is related to the following factors: roasting degree, coffee bean species and extraction method.
