The best varieties of bean coffee of the Living Coffee brand

What is live coffee?

The name of the product means that it contains more valuable nutrients than usual. Freshly harvested coffee beans contain many vitamins, minerals and other active substances. But long-term storage and heat treatment lead to the fact that most of them are lost.

Live coffee is produced using a special technology that allows it to retain a significant proportion of beneficial nutrients. It is important that the raw materials are not stored for a long time before frying, but are as fresh as possible. The shelf life of finished products is only six months. After this, coffee is considered ordinary, also devoid of the unique aroma and taste characteristic of the living.

Differences between live coffee and regular coffee:

• short shelf life - up to 6 months;
• live has a more tart taste and pronounced aroma;
• the smell does not last long at all; after a month in some varieties it may completely disappear.

In Russia, LIVE GROUP is the only company that produces live coffee. The natural product has a wide range - from well-known blends to elite single varieties. Due to the fact that the production is located in the Russian Federation, there is an opportunity to try a fresh drink of the highest quality.

Advantages and characteristics

Live coffee contains about 120 components, vitamins, and minerals that benefit the human body. From the moment of roasting, the maximum content of unique components in the beans is maintained during the first 6 months. After this period, the value of the grain drink noticeably decreases, as well as the brightness of taste and aroma.

Healthy coffee contains:

• Antioxidants . They help the body fight premature aging and reduce the effects of radiation. These substances effectively fight stress and chronic fatigue. In general, antioxidants support the beauty and healthy appearance of a person.
• Caffeine . Increases a person’s vigor, makes him active and mobile, and adds strength. It affects not only physical, but also mental activity, preventing drowsiness and apathy.
• Minerals and trace elements in the form of phosphates, sulfates, calcium, magnesium, iron and sodium. All these substances support a healthy mind and body.
• B vitamins . They increase the activity of development of biochemical processes, synthesize thyroid hormones, normalize hemoglobin in the blood and lower cholesterol levels.
• Acids . The content of chlorogenic, citric, malic, caffeic, nicotinic and acetic acid is significant. All of them are involved in improving the digestion process, preventing the formation of caries and fighting pathogenic microorganisms.

The benefits and harms of live coffee

How live coffee can harm in some cases:

• irritability;
• insomnia;
• increased heart rate;

What does the word “strong” mean for coffee?

Strength is the concentration of a certain taste (sweet, sour, salty or bitter) or flavor mixture. Coffee is characterized mainly by its bitter taste. Therefore, the more bitter the taste of the drink, the stronger it is considered. This opinion is wrong. The body (strength) of coffee drinks is determined by the number of taste buds it irritates. From this it follows that coffee requires the presence of different tastes. Drinks made from coffee beans have sweet, sour and bitter flavors; they have virtually no salty taste.

It turns out that the more concentrated the flavors, the stronger the coffee. Of course, the richness of the aroma is an important component of the strength of the coffee, as is the richness of the extractives in the solution. The more a coffee drink is diluted with liquid, the lower its flavor strength. In this case, the amount of extractives will remain unchanged. This is how the coffee strength is adjusted.

Assortment of live coffee

Despite the fact that there is only one main manufacturer of the product, the range is quite wide. The varieties are conventionally divided into classic and exclusive. The difference is in the raw materials used. Also, the many types are explained by the fact that live coffee is produced in several forms:

• grains;
• ground;
• finely ground for brewing in a cup;
• capsule

When purchasing any variety, pay attention to the date. The fresher the product, the more aromatic and tastier the drink will be.

The managers of the online store “Living Coffee” will help you understand the huge, diverse, very interesting world of coffee.

Different types of coffee beans differ not only in the way they are roasted, but also in the places where they were grown and collected. Therefore, its quality is directly influenced by climatic conditions and traditions of producing countries.

Elite varieties of bean coffee

Elite varieties of coffee beans are unique, one-of-a-kind, distinguished by certain characteristics:

• characteristics of the growing location;
• a special method of roasting grains, pre-processing them;
• limited quantity;
• at a high price (sometimes reaching astronomical amounts).

But, despite the simply unrealistic prices, elite varieties are extremely popular all over the world. This type of coffee is in demand by true connoisseurs who can afford this luxury. In Russia, these varieties began to be sold relatively recently.

Our online store “Live Coffee” presents many varieties of bean coffee , distinguished by unique aromas and excellent taste.

The best varieties of coffee beans are purchased directly from the plantations at the time of harvest. And only after determining the quality of coffee, processing, calibration of beans, it is exported from the country. To preserve the highest quality of coffee beans, all rules of transportation and storage are observed. Elite coffees are sold at special auctions or delivered directly to the customer.

From a wide palette, two main varieties of bean coffee can be distinguished - Arabica and Robusta.

Arabica

Of course, Brazil is considered the generally recognized world leader in this segment. Most of its coffee plantations are Arabica. Its grains have a milder taste with a slight sourness.

The assortment of the online store of the Living Coffee brand includes high-, mid-, and low-mountain Arabica varieties.

The caffeine content in its beans directly depends on the location of the plantation:

• from its height above sea level;
• soil composition;
• proximity to the equator.

Knowing that mountain Arabica contains half as much caffeine as valley Arabica, you can easily navigate the choice of Arabica beans:

• Arabica montana is suitable for light tonic effects;
• and for active stimulating actions - collected in the valleys.

Robusta

The second most common and in demand coffee bean is Robusta. Unlike coffee made from Arabica beans, Robusta beans have a more bitter taste. The main advantage of this variety is its high strength (1-2.5% caffeine), so it is used in strong coffee blends.

To soften its specific, rather strong taste, Robusta is mixed with Arabica.

The production of instant coffee most often occurs using robusta beans - during the preparation of which the specific bitterness disappears.

Coffee Bourbon

The most valuable grains are those collected from young trees. The most unique variety is Bourbon coffee, which has retained all its properties since ancient times without undergoing any types of crossing.

Today this variety is preserved only in Brazil. Its yellow berries have a thin skin, which allows better penetration of the sun to the grain. Thanks to this, coffee beans are dried in a natural way - right on the tree, and the finished, dried ones are collected. To clean the peel, after collecting the beans, there is no need, like other varieties, to douse them with water, thereby preserving the aroma and all the beneficial substances in the coffee. Yellow Bourbon coffee has a sweetness to it, so if roasted properly, you don't have to add sugar.

Yellow Bourbon coffee with a distinct aroma, a long aftertaste of creamy notes and notes of fried bread.

Santos Bourbon coffee, with a pronounced fruity taste, has sourness, and also has a long aftertaste.

Coffee Mocha (Mocha, Mokka)

Mocha coffee is one of the oldest varieties, on the basis of which breeders have developed many modern varieties. This is the best coffee bean among modern coffee varieties, with a varied flavor that depends on the plantation:

• woody;
• caramel;
• floral;
• cheese;
• mushroom;
• walnut;
• chocolate;
• fruit.

Grown and prepared on the basis of ancient customs and special recipes, today Mocha coffee continues to delight with unusual, unique flavors and aromas. The classic taste of this coffee covers all shades of chocolate and is accompanied by an interesting chocolate aftertaste for a long time.

Mocha is an evening or, in extreme cases, an afternoon drink. It perfectly warms in cold, rainy weather, while its invigorating effect is not too pronounced, due to the presence of milk in it.

Blue Mountain

Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is considered the rarest and most expensive type of coffee, a masterpiece among the classic varieties.

This type of coffee is grown on small plantations located in areas adjacent to the top of the Blue Mountain, surrounded by mango and papaya trees, above 2000 m above sea level. While all the coffee in the world is usually delivered in bags, Blue Mountain coffee comes in special, special wooden barrels. This distinctive feature is due to the limited quantity of this variety.

Reviews

Elena, Samara:

I bought ORIGINAL ground live coffee at Pyaterochka. The smell was felt even through the package; the production date was released about a month ago. I didn’t like that the degree of grinding was not indicated. Too small for a geyser coffee maker will not work. The aroma is invigorating, the strength is good, and fortunately the grinding didn’t upset me either.

Maria, Russia:

I decided to try coffee for brewing in a cup. The variety I chose was Arabica. Brews quickly. But there are also a lot of shortcomings - the coffee taste is too soft and the tobacco taste is too strong. In short, a sea of ​​promises, but in reality it’s not for everyone.

Dmitry, Moscow:

I read negative reviews and am amazed. Buy fresh product! The expiration date is also indicated there. I order delivery to the office from the manufacturer. There are different varieties, everyone likes them.
