As long as you have some understanding of the coffee culture in Xi'an, then you must have heard the name "Jin Xiaoman". Jin Xiaoman can be called a celebrity in the Xi'an coffee circle, in addition to being the owner of the coffee shop, she also has the identity of a coffee trainer and an international judge of the COE (International Coffee Cupping Competition). Jin Xiaoman has achieved excellent rankings in CBC (World Barista Championship China) competitions for many times, and then served as a player coach in some barista competitions in China, and is also a certified barista of SCAE (European Specialty Coffee Association) and ACE (American Specialty Coffee League) certified cupper.
In the Xi'an coffee circle, where Italian coffee is popular, Jin Xiaoman Coffee Studio is one of the few shops that takes pour-over coffee as its main focus, and it is also a must-visit place for specialty coffee lovers. The charm of pour-over coffee lies in the pure, light and elegant taste, without too much miscellaneous taste, and each pour-over coffee in the store will have an additional goblet filled with ice hockey, so that customers can taste the different flavors of hot and cold.
The pour-over coffee menu changes daily, depending on the day's amenities. Salvador is a relatively niche specialty coffee bean, which is relatively rare in Xi'an cafes, and Jin Xiaoman Coffee Studio's Salvador is a honey treatment method, which is characterized by obvious sweetness and mellow taste. The best roast in El Salvador is medium and dark, and the Salvador roast selected by Jin Xiaoman Coffee Studio is medium roast with fruity aroma, but not strong sourness, and the flavor is balanced.
For those who have never been exposed to single origin coffee, you can choose the in-store cold brew coffee as a first taste of single origin coffee. Cold brew coffee, also known as cold brew coffee, is obtained by extracting it at a low temperature for a long time. Cold brew coffee has a richer layer of layers than other coffees, with a smooth taste and a pronounced sweetness. The coffee beans used in the cold brew coffee of Jin Xiaoman Coffee Studio are Yirgacheffe, which has a soft taste, is not sour or astringent, and is full of Yirgacheffe's unique floral and fruity aroma. The store also offers a small amount of decaffeinated coffee, which takes into account the taste needs of different customers, but the overall performance is average.
Jin Xiaoman's Coffee Studio is located in Ludang Lane, the façade is not large, but it is not difficult to find, and the decoration design of the store is the white Nordic style common in boutique cafes. The 60-square-meter shop includes a bar, tatami room, bakery and classroom, and although there are seats, the space is relatively small. The owner occasionally goes out, and the shop is taken care of by other staff, so if you want to try the owner's handiwork, it is best to contact in advance.
