With the help of Lin Zhongxia, almost unsurprisingly, Sakura easily passed the first stage of the competition, fortunately got the ticket to the semi-final, and after the first day of the competition, whether it is the players who came to participate in the World Barista Competition, or those who profit from running the coffee business, almost all know that Sakura holds a magical new variety of coffee beans.A magical coffee that has not yet been recognized at the Esmeralda Special Auction.

If it is a bean species, it was first found in the jungles of Ethiopia, its English spelling is Geisha, and the English spelling of Japanese geisha is the same.When the coffee was sent from the Ethiopian jungle to the coffee institute in Kenya, it did not attract the attention of the specialty coffee industry at first.From Ethiopia, to Kenya, to Tanzania, Uganda and Costa Rica, this humble coffee variety has never had the opportunity to show their talents, until after nearly half a century of exile, in the 1960s was introduced to Panama, the summer finally got the opportunity to prove their strength, defeated the Changsheng Army Poin, Kadura, Kaduai, Dibica and other varieties, for three consecutive years won the Panama National Treasure Cup test competition first prize, set a record of up to 130 dollars per pound.Today, it has become a well-deserved king in the international specialty coffee industry.

And now, holding an unprecedented coffee new kind of cowpea seed in the cherry, seems to be replicating this legend.Although, in today's international specialty coffee industry, coffee plantations in Central and South American countries seem to have lost their fasci, but if it goes back to the source, almost all the coffee in the world is born in the Ethiopian jungle, so the more senior industry insiders dare not underestimate the forest in the hands of the cherry blossoms, everyone is curious, what kind of coffee is the kind of coffee that makes the judges forget?

But at this time, Sakura has no time to worry about the storm outside the game, because... she is now thinking about how to deal with the next more difficult game.The reason why Sakura has this concern is mainly due to major changes in the rules of this year's competition.Competitors can guide referees on how to drink their own coffee, and the variables brought about by the change of this rule are just too great.After all... before the race a few years ago, almost all the players did not spend their minds on the change in taste in the first and second of the coffee before the competition.

“I’m so sorry, but it’s too late to help me try coffee!”

“Don’t mind, Sister Sakura, as long as I can help you win the game, I’ll sit here tonight and drink your coffee.”

"No, that would seriously damage your health, so ... you don't need to drink all the coffee, just give me a taste of what you feel."

“I understand!”

When people came to help the cherry, they began to sit around the table and wait to try the cherry coffee.

When Sakura hesitated, he first took out the frozen coffee powder from the refrigerator, then began his own experiment, only to see the cherry skillfully operate the steam coffee machine on the operating table, and then with a side of the steam handle to dodging the milk with a steam handle.Until the final flowering work was completed, several cups of milk coffee were presented in front of everyone.

Now every ten seconds, please taste the coffee in your hand and tell me what’s different.

The coffee is added to about 50 degrees of milk, so there is no problem to drink directly.Lin Xiu first took a big sip and took a sip, and then slowly experienced the silky and soft taste of the milk curry.The sweetness of the milk is very good to neutralizing the bitterness and acidity of the coffee, so that the floral and fruity aromas hidden behind the bitter can be more abundantly represented.

"It's really good, although most of the time after the entrance is the taste of milk mellow and sweet, but ... it's a little like drinking fruit tea."

...

After hearing Mingmei's praise, Sakura did not show satisfaction, on the contrary, she was constantly asking about the shortcomings and shortcomings of her coffee.

"I think the taste of milk is too strong, so the taste of coffee is not too prominent!" 」

...

When Lin Xiu thought for a moment, he gave his opinion.

“The tao?But...is low-concentration extraction of Espresso and a high proportion of milk not the mainstream of this year’s milk?Today, even the master of ceremonies on the field have said that the reason why most people like milk coffee is actually because the natural sweetness of milk has a fascinating taste.If the concentration or proportion of coffee is too high, will it not be too bitter to drink it?”

On the side of the royal son somewhat puzzled to Lin Xiu retort, although her understanding of coffee is not as good as Lin Xiu, but just watched a world-class coffee competition, for some of this year's popular trend Yuzi is still very well known.

...

Sakura listened to Lin Xiu one's opinion, but also a little hesitation, as Yuzi said, a small number of low-extracted Espresso is definitely the preference of this competition players to make milk coffee.Using a large number of highly espresso-based Espresso to make milk coffees will run the risk of losing the natural sweetness of milk.And that’s... that’s the tough decision the players face when making milk coffee.

“Mr. Lin, do you think it would really be effective to use a high-rate Espresso and reduce the use of milk?”

After thinking for a long time, Sakura could not help but ask for the opinion of Lin Xiuyi.

"I just think that even if the people who choose milk coffee, they still want to drink the taste of coffee, although many people in today's competition have limited the ratio of coffee and milk to 1:4 or even less, but I think there may not be such concerns in Lin Zhongxia."Undoubtedly, your coffee has a richer taste experience than other coffees.Whether it is dry or wet, I have never seen that coffee can have such a rich taste expression ability!”

Hearing the encouragement of Lin Xiuyi, Sakura once again picked up the handle of the coffee machine, and then was busy.And Lin Xiu sat there silently, continuing to taste the cup of coffee that had not been finished.

"In fact, I am a little curious, if it is a kind of taste to use the forest to make ice cream coffee?"

“Is it iced coffee, do you mean a drink like Hong Kong-style iced milk tea?”
