Do you know how many types of taste on coffee? There are several number types of coffee and each of them has different testes. Sometimes the quality determines the testes of coffee. However, I’m not going to write about the quality or types of coffee. I want to tell you all about the types of testes in coffee. But remember, the testes in coffee also determines the content of what you drink. There are several number and they are;

1. Acid

Coffee contains an organic acid cause its flavor a bit acidity.

2. Bitter

A primary taste characterized by the solution of caffeine, quinine and certain alkaloids. This taste is considered desirable up to a certain level and is affected by the degree of roast brewing procedures.

3. Sweet

Coffee also contains sucrose or fructose which is commonly associated with sweet aroma descriptors such as fruity, chocolate and caramel.

4. Salt

This basic taste descriptor refers to an excessively sharp, biting and unpleasant flavor (such as vinegar or acetic acid). It is sometimes associated with the aroma of fermented coffee

There are various resources of coffee history.

The first one is mentioned in coffee history legend. According to the legend, an Arabian named Kaldi found bright red cherries shrub. Kaldi realized his goat became hyperactive after eating the red “cherries” from a certain plant when they changed pastures. This shrub was causing peculiar euphoria and he found the red cherries have very powerful effect after tried it. The effect discovered and exploited by monks by local monastery. They used the effect of red cherries to stay awake during extended hours of prayer and distributed to other monasteries around the world.

Another resources from botanical evidence stated that coffee began on the plateaus of Ethiopia and brought to Yemen in 6th century. This proved by introduction of the first coffee houses in Cairo and Mecca coffee became a passion rather than just a stimulant. The Galla tribe used coffee before, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. However, the Turks country was the first country adopt it as a drink.
