「認識April Coffee Roasters」
WHOLE BEAN
For us it is important to work with the best ingredients we can find. When it comes to coffee that means Specialty Graded Green Beans. These beans are grown with attention to detail and love. They are picked by hand and processed in a way that highlights the character of the coffee. This is done by some of the most dedicated farmers and producers around the world.
尋找到最好的原材料對我們來說是最重要的事情。對於咖啡,那就意味著精品級的生豆。這些咖啡豆的種植和培育被傾注了每一個細節的精心呵護,採用手工採摘,和能彰顯咖啡特性的處理方式。這些工作由一些世界最精品的莊園和生產商完成。
For our Whole Bean range, we have divided our products into the following different categorize:Filter, Espresso and Milk Espresso
我們的所有咖啡豆,分成以下幾個烘焙分裂:手沖,義式濃縮,義式牛奶咖啡
After years of experience of roasting, we find it important to customize as much as we can when aiming for the best possible quality in each category.
經過多年的烘焙經驗,我們發現,致力於出品質最好的咖啡,針對不同製作方式來訂製烘焙非常重要。
Here follows a description of each category:
接下來是每一個烘焙方式的詳細介紹
「Filter」
手沖
When it comes to Filter Coffee we are looking for a clean and transparent cup of coffee that showcases the origin in the best possible way. The goal is to showcase a coffee without displaying any negative flavors from the roasting process - that can refer to both under- and over roast.
說到手沖咖啡,我們希望展現每一種咖啡的最好的原汁原味,將乾淨透明的風味在每一盃咖啡中體現。目標是不在烘焙過程中產生任何不好的風味——這裡指烘焙過度或不足。
「Espresso」
義式濃縮
All of our Espresso would fall under the category of "Modern Espresso". The machinery we work with today in terms of brewing enables us to push the idea of roasting for espresso. We want it clean, sweet and with a buttery mouthfeel. A good espresso has a great structure to it without becoming too heavy or dry - balance is key and we welcome acidity but makes sure it is balanced up with sweetness.
我們所說的義式濃縮咖啡,都定義在「現代濃縮」的範疇內。今天我們所用的沖煮設備使得我們能將義式烘焙理念推廣。我們想要乾淨、甜度、順滑的口感。一杯好的濃縮咖啡將這些風味很好地結合,而不會太厚重或乾澀——平衡是關鍵。果酸是極好的,但要有足夠的甜感來平衡才行。
「Milk Espresso」
義式牛奶咖啡
This is a concept that we have worked on for a long time. The dynamic of your espresso changes when you pour milk into it. Something that for us is obvious. In our attempt to make as tasty coffee as possible and knowing that most people in the world drink espresso with milk we launched a range of Espresso that we believe to be extra suitable for milk drinks. The quality of green coffee is just as high as our Filter and Espresso range but the balance and acidity structure is different. The roasting focuses on optimizing body and sweetness while still retaining flavor clarity.
這是我們已經花了很長時間在闡述的概念。咖啡的狀態在隨著牛奶注入的過程中發生變化。這些對我們而言是顯而易見的。我們盡一切可能做出美味的咖啡,同時我們了解在這個世界上大部分人喝加入牛奶的義式咖啡,因此我們推出了一系列適合製作牛奶咖啡的義式濃縮咖啡豆。對於它的生豆品質卻是與手沖及義式咖啡生豆同樣的要求,只是平衡和酸度結構不同而已。在烘焙上更專注於尋找更優的粘稠度與甜度,但仍保留清晰的風味。
