Qianjie-coffee flavor round use

In the early 1940s, Europe and the United States took the lead in defining the concept of food senses, and established a set of perfect theoretical system and application methods through a series of studies. However, sensory evaluation in China started relatively late, and it was only in 1975 that scholars began to study the evaluation of aroma and organization. it was not until the 1990s that "sensory evaluation" was widely used in food science research, and the discipline system of "sensory" cross-science was established in this century.

Step 1: feel it carefully and accept it all-the new flavor wheel looks very beautiful, just like the best coffee. It visually presents the comprehensive and ever-changing flavor of coffee.

Step 2: drink coffee, drink coffee, and drink coffee! -Coffee flavor wheel, can be used not only for daily coffee tasting, but also for professional cup testing. But in two different situations, the key is that you need to feel the various sensory experiences of the coffee in your mouth.

The third step: start from the "heart"-the original intention of our design is to hope that the quality and testing personnel can start from the innermost circle and move forward step by step. The most common flavor descriptions are close to the center, and the more outward they are, the more their features are subdivided. The tester can stop at any lap at any time, but there is no doubt that the further we go, the more detailed our description of the flavor characteristics will be.

Step 4: read the coffee sensory dictionary-the design of a series of flavor items in the dictionary is designed to establish a set of standards that enable sensory-trained cup testers to set up a review group and evaluate the coffee. and scientific analysis.

Step 5: try each reference item in the dictionary-each flavor item in WCR? There are relevant flavor reference items in coffee sensory dictionaries, and these reference items are easily available in supermarkets or online. But please remember that the flavor reference can be eaten, while the aroma reference can not be used for food.

Step 6: once again, start from the "heart" and return to the original mind-when we have the knowledge base of the coffee sensory dictionary in mind (even if there is only a memory of two flavor items), we can all start from the center of the coffee flavor wheel. Start with that particular flavor item.

Step 7: it's your turn to describe it in the words you've learned-the biggest significance of the new flavor wheel is that it can provide a unified common language for coffee testers. This is quite meaningful.

Step 8: give you some color to see-- use the color of the flavor wheel-- with the understanding of this aspect, we begin to pay attention to the color selection on the flavor wheel, and try to find out the sensory connection between each flavor item and the related color. And choose that color.
