"I don't have any hobbies, I just like drinking coffee." Xia Hannuo explained.

There are more and more people who have the same hobbies as Xia Hannuo.

Although Su Zhe also started to like drinking coffee, if he were like Xia Hannuo, who would grind the coffee beans and brew them himself every time he drank coffee, he would not be able to do this.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you get interested occasionally and make it yourself, just for the sake of freshness, but if it happens like this every time, then Su Zhe would rather not drink coffee.

Moreover, grinding coffee beans and brewing coffee by himself didn't make much sense to Su Zhe, because he couldn't taste the difference between buying coffee powder and brewing it.

Not long after, Xia Hannuo made coffee, poured a cup and placed it in front of Su Zhe: "Try it."

"Well, it smells really good. It looks good!" Su Zhe picked up the coffee cup, put it in front of him and smelled it before saying.

The aroma of this coffee is indeed very strong and makes people want to taste it.

"I specially asked my friends from abroad to bring these coffee beans back. You can taste them and see if they suit your taste." Xia Hannuo said.

Su Zhe smiled and was about to take a sip to taste the coffee, but just as he took it to his mouth, he put it down again because he thought of something.

"Isn't this coffee just cat poop coffee?" Su Zhe asked.

Cat poop coffee is produced from the feces of the Indonesian coconut cat (a civet cat) as raw material, so it is called "cat poop coffee". Arguably one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Prices run into the hundreds of dollars per pound.

Civet coffee is extracted and processed from the feces of civet cats. This animal mainly feeds on coffee beans. After fermentation is completed in the civet's stomach, the protein is destroyed to produce short peptides and more free amino acids. The bitterness of the coffee will be reduced, and the feces excreted are the main raw materials. Since the coffee beans cannot be digested, they will be excreted. . After cleaning and roasting, it becomes cat poop coffee.

This will cause unparalleled magical changes in the coffee beans during the digestion process. The flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, and the rich and round sweet taste is unmatched by other coffee beans.

This is because the civet’s digestive system destroys the protein in the coffee beans, making the coffee less bitter. On the contrary, it increases the rounded taste of this kind of coffee beans, so it has become a hot commodity in the international market.

Coffee critic Chris Rubin said: “The aroma is so rich and intense;

The coffee is again incredibly rich, almost syrupy. It's thick and chocolatey, with a pure aftertaste that lingers on the tongue for a long time. "

However, no matter how special the civet cat coffee is, how fragrant the taste is, or how rare it is, Su Zhe is not willing to try drinking civet cat coffee.

Because Su Zhe thought of the origin of civet cat coffee. He just couldn't finish it, whether it was because he was a vulgar person or because he didn't understand the quality of life. Anyway, he doesn't want to drink civet coffee.

This is why Su Zhe suddenly put down his coffee cup. He was worried that Xia Hannuo had brewed a cup of civet coffee for him.

"Don't worry! This is not civet coffee, but Geisha coffee, which is my favorite kind of coffee." Xia Hannuo smiled. She knew what Su Zhe was worried about.

Although civet coffee is very popular, there are still many people who don’t like it. Or maybe they are not used to drinking, or they dare not drink.

"That's good." Su Zhe smiled awkwardly. Then he picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

This coffee tastes very good indeed. It seems to be very different from the ordinary coffee Su Zhe drinks. As for what is special, Su Zhe cannot taste it or tell it.

For Su Zhe, it's enough if it tastes good. Where did so many things come from?

Su Zhe had heard of Gesha coffee, but this was his first time drinking Gesha coffee.

In 1931, Gesha seeds were discovered in the Gesha forest of Ethiopia.

Then the seeds of Geisha were sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya and introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953, and Panama in the 1970s by Mr. Francisco Serraxin of Dongba Seven Farm, from In Costa Rica, they were given seeds and then started planting Geisha coffee.

Because the yield of Gesha coffee is extremely low and it requires bidding, this bean can be said to be hard-won.

In 1931, the unknown Gesha was exported from the Gesha Mountains in southwestern Ethiopia to Kenya, and traveled to Tanzania and Costa Rica. In the 1960s, it was transplanted to Panama. After that, it took nearly half a century to become a blockbuster, defeating the ever-victorious teams of Bourbon and Qatar. Varieties such as Dura, Caduai, and Tibica won the first prize in the Panama National Treasure Bean Cupping Competition in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

In 2007, Geisha won the championship again in the International Famous Bean Cup competition hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SPECIAL COFFEE ASSOCIATION), with a bidding price of US$130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price ever for competition beans.

Geisha is grown in many parts of the world and is the new king of specialty coffee. Among them, Latin American countries such as Panama, Guatemala, and Colombia have relatively high quality and high prices.

"How does it taste? Does it suit your appetite?" Xia Hannuo asked expectantly.

"It tastes good. You don't have to ask me how to drink it. I'm just a layman and I can't tell you what's good." Su Zhe put down the coffee and said with a smile.

"You really love to joke, but just drink if you like." After saying that, Xia Hannuo also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Su Zhe was not joking, he was telling the truth. He really couldn't appreciate the specialness of this Gesha coffee, but Xia Hannuo didn't want to believe it, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"I still have a lot of Geisha coffee beans here. You can take a can back home and you can make a cup yourself in your spare time. Do you want it?" Xia Hannuo said.

"No, thank you for your kindness." Su Zhe had no intention of taking the coffee beans back.

"You're welcome! I still have quite a few here." Xia Hannuo continued.

"It's really unnecessary. I'm just a layman. This kind of coffee is a waste for me, so I won't take advantage of others." Su Zhe didn't like making coffee by himself because it was a waste of time.

And just as Su Zhe said, he couldn't tell the reason behind this Geisha coffee. To Su Zhe, there was no difference between Gesha coffee and ordinary coffee.

Besides, Su Zhe could tell that Xia Hannuo liked drinking this kind of coffee.

Therefore, he did not want to waste it and was embarrassed to take away the Geisha coffee. (To be continued)
