Coffee is a popular drink and its popularity is growing day by day
. In past some years there has been a rapid development in the process of producing it. Now, you can get your favourite drink with higher nutrient value. The trend of organic coffee has also gained pace and people prefer it over the regular variety.
With rising popularity of organic food, producers have also started producing it using organic methods. Food produces through organic methods have minimal or no harmful additive. No chemical based fertilizer or pesticide is used to grow the product. Whereas, food crops grown through regular methods are nourished by chemical based fertilizers and thus they are contaminated with the used chemicals.
The pesticides that are used to preserve the food crop also affect the nutritional value of the products. By use of fertilizers and pesticides not only the health of the consumer is affected but there is known effect on the environment as well. Some of the fertilizers used have known effect on birds as well as other creatures. Some species of birds are on the verge of extinction due to extensive usage of certain fertilizers. Moreover, the taste and quality of the beans produced using chemical fertilizers are also not the best.
The taste of the coffee also changes as per the changing conditions it is grown. The processes followed during its production are almost same throughout the world. The major difference is in the process of roasting it and then adding flavor to it. The process of roasting is very important and if not carried out properly then it will either taste bitter or raw.
The process of adding additional flavor makes the next step. This process decides the quality of gourmet coffee. Some of the companies have their signature taste that they add to the making of gourmet coffee. Some of the producers also have their own roasting method which minimizes the loss of antioxidant value of the beans.
The best that one can get from the organic way of growing the beans is rich taste. Further, these beans are treated with water to lower their caffeine content and then are roasted with adept techniques to preserve the antioxidants of the beans and finally signature flavours are added to bring to your table a fine cup of organic gourmet coffee. Earlier due to the involved process and use organic farming methods the cost of such type of coffee was a bit high. But now with technology to aid the process and also due to popularization of organic farming methods you get your favourite coffee readily available at affordable costs.
