Here is a new article after our summer vacations and after a while we did not post something new.This article is a small dictionary and it is addressed to coffeeholics. It will help you read and understand coffee articles easily from now on. Also, you will know how to express your coffee taste and have a conversation that any expert would be jealous of!

• Acidity: Coffee acidity has nothing to do with the amount of acid, or pH. Coffee actually has a neutral pH of between 5 and 6. In case that green coffee is stored for more than a year, it will have a perceptible loss of flavor and acidity.
•  Aroma: Depending on the flavors of the identified coffee, some terms are used to describe its characteristics such as fruit, hazelnut, sour, spice, chocolate, etc.
