Evaluating coffee beans suitable for long-term drinking is best approached by gradually building judgment from tasting experience. When buying beans for daily use, you need to consider how quickly you'll drink them, how much to buy at once, and whether you mainly make black coffee or milk coffee at home.

The time when they are truly ready to drink usually requires waiting for the gas to release over a period, allowing the floral notes, fruity sweetness, and body to gradually come together. [more…]
