What Does it Mean When Coffee has Body?

The body of coffee is a term used to describe the perceived thickness, richness, or viscosity of brewed coffee. This characteristic is often determined by the roast level of the beans, the brewing method used, and the ratio of coffee to water. A coffee with a heavy, full body will have a thick, syrupy mouthfeel, while a coffee with a light body will have a thin, watery mouthfeel.

Black Turtle Coffee offers a single-origin medium roast called Bombshell that is known for its perfectly full body. This coffee is made using high-quality arabica beans that are carefully roasted to bring out their unique flavor and aroma. The medium roast level of the beans provides a balanced, smooth flavor that is both bold and complex.

The body of a coffee is an important factor to consider when choosing a coffee to brew at home or order at a coffee shop. A full-bodied coffee like Bombshell is ideal for those who prefer a thick, rich mouthfeel, while a light-bodied coffee may be more suitable for those who prefer a more subtle flavor.

In addition to the roast level and brewing method, the ratio of coffee to water also plays a role in determining the body of a coffee. A higher coffee-to-water ratio will result in a fuller-bodied coffee, while a lower ratio will produce a lighter-bodied coffee. By adjusting the ratio and experimenting with different brewing methods, you can find the perfect balance of body and flavor for your personal taste.

Overall, the body of a coffee is a critical aspect of its flavor and mouthfeel. Black Turtle Coffee's Bombshell is a perfectly full-bodied coffee that is both rich and complex, making it a great choice for those who prefer a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel in their coffee.
