Coffee tasting

1. Smell fragrance

Dry aroma: put freshly ground coffee powder close to your mouth and nose, and you will feel the dry aroma of different coffees from different coffee producing areas. For example, in Latin American coffee, you will smell something similar to nuts and dark chocolate, while coffee in Africa has more floral and fruit flavors.

Wet fragrance: pour the coffee into the cup, close your eyes and slowly smell its wet fragrance. You may smell nutty, chocolate, fruity or floral aromas.

two。 Taste the flavor

When coffee is in your mouth, you can feel its flavor. In this respect, many enthusiasts, especially those who are just beginning to come into contact with coffee tasting, always think that coffee doesn't smell good. It is true that the sensory discrimination of coffee liquid in the mouth requires a certain amount of exercise, but over time, the flavor can be detected.

Another key point of tasting coffee is how to distinguish between sweet, salty, sour and bitter coffee.

Mellowness is what we usually call boby, which refers to the round, mellow and strong taste of the coffee liquid. The difference between a cup of water and a cup of coffee is that water is tasteless and not sticky, while espresso is rich in oil and has a good thickness. A cup of coffee with a good mellow thickness will make the aroma stay in the mouth longer and the finish longer.

Mellow feeling will not only affect your overall coffee experience, but also affect the integrity of the release of aromatic substances in coffee. Most cup testers or consumers can't tell which tastes are good and which are bad, but at least you know what you like and what you don't like. In my opinion, the judgment of the mellow taste of coffee varies from person to person.

[sweet]

Traits: coffee with sweetness is like a kind of fruit, which contains fructose in coffee beans, even if it is a cup of black coffee, there must be sweet taste behind the sour or bitter taste. In addition, according to the difference of coffee beans, there are different levels of coffee, there is no good or bad, only depends on personal preferences. But if the taste of Huigan is too dry, it means the quality of coffee beans is not good.

[cleanliness]

Traits: in fact, the astringency of coffee does not need to be eliminated, but needs to be suppressed, and the degree of inhibition is also different according to everyone's different preferences. The taste that is more messy or has bad negative taste is not enough to achieve net.

[bitter]

Traits: there is no simple "bitter" in boutique coffee. Generally, we will use "bitter" to describe the nutty taste, dark chocolate flavor and caramel flavor.

[acid]

Traits: "Sweet is easy, good sour is rare". The sour taste of high-quality coffee should be contained in the coffee, not obvious and sharp. High-quality coffee often contains a lot of organic acid substances, such as citrus, berries and other rich sour taste, the quality of acid is an important factor in fine coffee.

[salty]

Traits: in fact, there are many kinds of salty taste, and the aroma reminds people of salty food, such as the smell of too much salt in fried vegetables, and the smell at the bottom of the cup after drinking coffee, which smells salty. Think of salty snacks such as shrimp sticks and Wangxian shellfish, and so on. And the taste summed up is the taste of salt.

Usually do hand flushing and Italian style will occasionally taste and "smell" to [salty] (smell refers to the smell after grinding), and most of the time, the salty taste is more obvious in Espresso.
