Hard Bean
|
Coffee grown at relatively high
altitudes, 4,000 to 4,500 feet. Coffee grown above 4,500 feet is
referred to as strictly hard bean. This terminology says that beans
grown at higher altitudes mature more slowly and are harder and
denser than other beans and are thus more desirable.
A taster's term for aroma of animal hides, a distinct odour of dry leather, not dissimilar to the smell of leather articles, rather unpleasant in coffee (see Animal-like) |
