圖貝塔


今天從家人拿來一位朋友送了的圖貝塔(先感謝這位朋友的熱情交流),興奮又欣喜地把塞風壼拿出來伺候。磨出刻度3的豆粉,瞬間的豆香就撲了過來,等到了熱水跟我一樣迫不急待地往上衝了,就是豆粉跟熱水融合的時刻。蒸煮時的特有香味,已經充滿了這20坪大小的空間。耐心等候萃取精華的完成,終於到手的一大杯咖啡。

1)剛出來的溫度
   剛品嚐時,實在無法形容他,可能剛去吃完大餐回來,味蕾還沒回神。喝了一口水,再試一次,確認,高溫應該不是最佳溫度,因為跟大家評論的口感不太一樣。所以決定先等1分鐘再試。中高溫的口感,果然口感十分柔順,入口的口感,猶如跟紳士對談般,滑順柔和,優雅香氣。為了再看看不同溫層口感,於是,再試試中低溫。

2)中低溫
   拿出了昨晚才冰好的冰塊,直接冰鎮。入口時,不苦、不澀些微的酸味增添了不同韻味,這次我比較覺得可以說跟小時候的青梅竹馬,無所不談般,回憶起來又不同的口感。有變化,但又是如此的令人回味無窮。

3)加入牛奶
   加入牛奶後,個人比較偏好中高溫及中低溫的口味。也或許個人口味不同。個人偏好拿鐵的喝法,有可能是牛奶加太多了,有點壓過咖啡。所以喜歡加牛奶可以嚐試卡布看看。

A coffee so smooth you will want to drink it black. 

1888年E.P. Dieseldorff離開他的家鄉,去尋找開拓新世界的一個機會。他選擇了瓜地馬拉的Alta Verapaz山。為了一個真實且難以忘懷的咖啡體驗,他在這裡滿懷著熱情,把咖啡豆從農莊帶到杯子裡。今天你可以透過這個精細的咖啡手工藝體驗到這個柔順的口感。不像其他任何的咖啡烘師,縮短了產品包裝銷售的時間,只為絕不妥協的咖啡口感。

後記:

照筆者所查,Dieseldorff 有數種特調的綜合咖啡豆。
Exclusive: 口味強烈,豐富且柔順,餘味稍微帶一點酸
Coban: 溫和,非常柔順的綜合豆
Expresso: 口味較Exclusive強烈,但餘味稍多一點酸

筆者查了有關Dieseldorff 的品牌,在美加地區有多數的愛用者,筆者本身也喝了一陣子Exclusive Blend,確實也較目前坊間其他咖啡豆喜愛,香味溫中透強,口感柔順。建議咖啡愛好者可以試一下這品台灣較少引進的咖啡

KAFFEE,為何不是Coffee

咖啡的英文, 相信大家都比我還熟稔, coffee
而德文就是KAFFEE, 法文是cafe

當然還有很多推敲, 不具實際歷史考據的口音演變, 就不再多說了



至於為何Dieseldorff KAFFEE, 而不是用Dieseldorff  Coffee
相信讀者在這裡多爬一點文之後就會知道
Dieseldorff KAFFEE的創始人原來是德國人

19世紀跑到中美洲, 真是好膽識

附帶說明finca, 是西班牙文農莊的意思(那英文就是farm); Exclusivo是英文Exclusive的意思

A coffee so smooth you will want to drink it black. 

In 1888 when E.P. Dieseldorff left his homeland in search of new opportunities in the New World, he chose the mountains of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. It was here where he became passionate about the detailed process of carrying the coffee bean from the plantation to the cup for a truly unforgettable experience.
Today you can experience the smooth taste of this finely crafted coffee. Unlike many other roasters, we put a short sell by date on the package to ensure an uncompromised taste.

Remarks:

The Dieseldorff brand, of which three varieties , is still produced by one of the original Germany-founded coffee fincas (farms).
Edwin Dieseldorff started this finca in the late 1800's. The packaging still retains the original Germanic spelling of "Kaffee".
The coffee is absolutely awesome. They produce three primary blends: Exclusivo (strong, rich, and smooth, with a slightly acidic finish), Coban (milder very smooth blend), Expresso Blend (stronger than the Exclusivo but with a bit more acidic finish). 

Dieseldorff is truly some the best coffee in the world! If you are into coffee you really should try some.
