Qianjie-coffee flavor round use

1. Smell

The flavor of coffee is numerous and complicated. Smelling this step is extremely important, because our nose can recognize thousands of flavors, and compared with mouths that can only distinguish sour, sweet, bitter, salty and fresh tastes, our nose is really the best assistant for us to taste and appreciate coffee. When we get a cup of Juliet, we can clearly smell Juliet's unique aroma of flowers and fruits.

Then what kind of flower is more similar to its fragrance? Which kind of fruit is more similar to its fruit aroma? Is it berries, oranges, or other fruits? Next, explore the outer circle of Flavor Wheel!

Carefully, you may have noticed that the gap between each flavor varies in size. These represent their similarity, the smaller the gap, the more similar the two flavors; the larger the gap, the greater the flavor difference. Re-smell this cup of coffee, with the help of this rule of flavor wheel, we can more accurately and more clearly judge that Juliet has the smell of orange or grapefruit, rather than lime.

If you have some experience in tasting coffee, you may be able to smell some caramel, honey-like round and full sweetness.

two。 Suck vigorously

The purpose of vigorously sucking coffee is to atomize the coffee as soon as it enters the mouth, filling the entire mouth and even connecting the upper jaw of the nasal cavity, which helps us to find a deeper flavor in the coffee. In the process of tasting, we can still borrow the flavor theory and gradually explore the deeper flavor of Juliet, which will be an interesting process.

When we taste coffee, the sense of taste we perceive is different from the smell we smelled before. For example, we smelled Juliet before, its citrus fruit aroma is more similar to the taste of orange peel, and now the taste will be more similar to orange juice.

In addition, we can also appreciate Juliet's taste. It has the mellow and silky touch of cream chocolate, with the taste of dried cashew nuts. And the previous fragrance of jasmine can only be experienced in the aftertaste of coffee.

3. Confirm

When we determine the flavor of coffee, the most powerful basis is from the flavor described on the coffee bean bag. At this time, we have to go back to describe the flavor here and read it carefully. Still take 90 + Juliet as an example.

"it is full of floral smell on the basis of the rose seed itself, and the entrance taste will have the taste of orange peel, caramel and dried cashew fruit." If there is a flavor that has not been tasted by you, imagine "the color of this flavor" and then taste it again.

Because our visual senses are very effective in connecting our other senses, just as we imagine the taste of food in our minds when we see it. For example, when we smell Juliet's charming flowers, we think of "pink" flowers; when we taste the flavor of citrus fruits, we think of "orange" fruits. One of the conveniences of the flavor wheel is also reflected here, we can quickly find the location of the flavor in the picture through the imagined color, helping us quickly locate the fleeting charming aroma, so that they have nowhere to hide.

These feelings of "taste" need to be accumulated in life. Of course, if you are a professional barista, you can use coffee smell bottles and WCR flavor dictionaries to correct your sense of smell and taste.

4. Description

The most important thing is to communicate when tasting coffee! Although most of the words on the flavor wheel and coffee bean packaging are easy to understand, we do not recommend sticking to the above words too much. Why don't we describe the information we taste in our own language?
