What are the senses?

Sense organ

The magical human body has organs to feel the stimulation of external things: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and so on, corresponding to vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. If you want to have a good cup of coffee, you need to use at least three senses: smell, taste and touch.

What is flavor?

Coffee's flavor

When coffee shrubs convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars through photosynthesis, compounds that contribute to coffee flavor are produced:

During ● baking and grinding, these chemicals escape in the form of gas.

When ● is brewed, these chemicals escape in the form of steam

The taste of ● coffee, water-soluble organic and inorganic substances are extracted in liquid form.

The sensory evaluation of coffee flavor consists of three stages: aroma, taste and taste.

Part of the reason why it is difficult to understand the flavor of coffee is the complexity of coffee. Human taste receptors for a variety of external stimuli, its way of feeling is also complex, which increases the complexity of our understanding of coffee flavor. The use of smell, taste and touch are not completely independent, but interact with each other.

75% to 95% of the taste we taste is actually smell.

We might as well do a simple experiment: prepare a bottle of Coke and a bottle of Sprite and drink it with your eyes closed and your nose completely pinched. We can't tell which bottle is Coke and which is Sprite.

People often use "taste" to express the food they taste, which makes us think that what we get is the perception of taste. However, taste is only the tip of the iceberg, because we think it is taste, but it is actually smell. Some food smells when we put it under our nose (outside our mouth), but most of the smell we feel is released from our mouth to our nose.
