Organoleptic characteristics
Many experts believe that, in addition to taste and aroma, the color of coffee is no less important. It can partly be used to judge the quality of the purchased goods.
According to the International Register, the original product must combine brown tones. Typically, fresh ripe grains can have a color ranging from green to light brown. It depends on many factors:
- the chemical composition of the soil on which the coffee trees themselves grow;
- elevations above sea level;
- climate features of a particular region.
After roasting, the color of the coffee changes. As a result of heat treatment, the product darkens, while acquiring strength and pronounced bitterness. These factors must be considered when choosing a product. In addition, it is necessary that the mixture is as homogeneous as possible and does not contain any impurities. Therefore, it is better to buy unfamiliar products in transparent packaging. But it is best to buy goods from a well-known manufacturer whose quality is not in doubt.
