What aspects are important when choosing coffee beans?
Pay attention to the type of coffee beans, level of roasting, origin (region), level of intensity and aftertastes (notes). All these points will help you discover the most delicious coffee. We understand that the choice is wide, there are also a lot of things to pay attention to, but everything is simpler than it seems at first glance. We will tell you a little about each point separately.
Type of coffee
The type of coffee is a very important aspect. Main types of coffee: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica. Arabica is everyone's favourite, the most popular, robusta is second, and Liberica is an extremely rare species, making up only 2 % of the entire coffee market. How do these types of coffee differ, what are their characteristics?
Arabica is often used "pure" without any other bean impurities. The most famous, excellent quality type of coffee, with a wide variety of subtle aftertastes and aromas.
Robusta - has more caffeine, but less sugar and fat than Arabica. Usually mixed with arabica, rarely drunk alone.
Liberica is the rarest of the coffee types and is often used to make instant coffee because it has the least amount of caffeine. This type of coffee beans can be of different sizes and shapes.
The origin of coffee
The indicated country of origin reveals what kind of taste and aroma the coffee can expect. These characteristics depend on the soil and climate in which it was grown. Therefore, coffee grown in different regions has different flavors and aftertastes. Coffee grown in Brazil is considered a classic. Grown in Africa, especially Ethiopia, it is characterized by fruitiness, and in Asia, it has a rich, long-lasting taste and aroma of chocolate and even earth and wood.
Toasting level
The level of roasting of coffee beans affects its taste and aroma. We recommend trying different toasting levels to find the one that tastes best to you. Lighter beans will have a milder taste, darker ones will have a brighter, deeper, bitter taste. The main roasting levels are these three, but a fourth is sometimes noted, a very strong (very dark) roasting level, but it is not very popular due to its very intense bitterness.
Light roast level – it retains the most caffeine. This level allows the main, primary flavor notes of the coffee beans to be revealed the most. Fruity or floral aftertastes are most evident in beans of this level.
The medium toasting level is probably the most popular choice. This type of beans is more balanced, the coffee acquires that well-known aftertaste of light bitterness. This type of roast often has chocolate, caramel or nutty aftertastes.
Dark roast level – allows for stronger bitterness to emerge. Loved by strong coffee lovers. Mostly this type of beans is used to prepare espresso coffee.
The origin of coffee
The origin of the coffee can give you a clue as to what taste and aroma you can expect. Coffee beans with stronger flavors, with more bitterness and spiciness, are grown in Asia. Dominant aftertastes: wood, tobacco, dark chocolate, spices. Beans grown in Africa will have a bit more acidity, with citrus and berry aftertastes often found. In South America, the golden mean usually dominates, that is, coffee needs both fresher and richer aftertastes. Well, in Central America you can find a very interesting aftertaste of frozen tobacco, specifically attributed to this region.
Intensity level
This aspect is highly dependent on the level of roasting of the coffee beans. As we have already mentioned, lightly roasted beans retain a higher amount of caffeine and a milder taste, while more strongly roasted beans provide bitterness and flavor intensity, but the caffeine content is reduced.
Coffee aftertaste
Aftertastes are extracted both naturally and by mixing different types of coffee together. Most of the time, manufacturers indicate what aftertastes to expect when purchasing coffee beans from them. Predominant aftertastes can range from very mild flowers, fruits or berries to intense ones such as chocolate, tobacco, spices. In some coffee products, the notes are felt very clearly, in others - very gently, barely noticeable.

The taste and smell of the hookah depends on the properties of the hookah mixture used, the cup used in the process and its packaging.

The smokiness and taste of hookah depend on hookah bowls properties and its preparation.

The most popular types of hookah cups in Lithuania are: Turkish, Phunnel, Killer - these are the main shapes, when choosing a cup it is important to consider whether the cup will be classic or with one hole. Classic Turkish cups smoke intensely, give a lot of smoke, but are smoked faster. The Killer Cup has thin and perpendicular walls, so the tobacco heats up faster and gets more heat. With this cup, hookah tobacco smokes harder. Phunnel cups are designed for a light and light hookah session. Have more questions? Write to us!
