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. Good coffee is tasteless, pure and transparent. Cleanliness refers to the first to the last taste of coffee, without unpleasant miscellaneous taste and taste.

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.

The third step is to perceive the aftertaste

The last point of tasting is Huigan. The so-called Huigan refers to the aftertaste of coffee in the mouth and throat. After drinking the coffee, there will always be a taste back from the throat, some of the aftertaste is very long and clear, some are very short and very vague. We say that a longer and clearer aftertaste is good, and the coffee is of higher quality.
