Qianjie-Coffee flavor description

If you are asked to describe smell, what other words can you use to describe smell besides fragrance and smell? Humans do not have a good sense of smell, so we rely on other animals for help, such as drug detection dogs and pigs searching for black truffles. Visually, human beings have a wealth of language to describe the shape and color of things, which is far from the named smell. Anthropologists suspect that this is the result of primate brains weighing visual processing power against olfactory benefits.

And we often find that baristas often express different expressions and describe different languages about the flavor of the same coffee. Maybe you are talking about plums and I am talking about peaches. The guests are even more confused.

It is very difficult to improve the sensitivity to smell or taste, but if you want to be more sensitive to certain tastes, you can achieve it through planned training. For taste expression, the truth is the same. Describe the smell and flavor you recognize to others, seize every opportunity to practice, it is entirely possible to build a "coffee vocabulary", if every practitioner does so, it will hopefully form a conventional description system.

If you fail to taste the meticulous flavors of coffee or some of the dishes others say, it's not because your sense of taste or smell is broken, but because your brain fails to distinguish and interpret those tastes. So what you need to train is actually the brain, you need to accumulate more flavor memory, application will have some association, in order to quickly analyze and interpret the taste.

This is also part of the training of coffee cup testers. So friends who love coffee can try to practice tasting different foods and fruits in daily life, such as oranges, grapes, mangoes, berries, plums, peaches, litchi, red wine, nuts, caramel, honey and so on.

The sour taste of boutique coffee can trigger saliva, which can help taste buds feel more taste flavor. After the liquid enters the mouth, it will be washed off by saliva. If you wash it faster, you will have a clear feeling. If you wash it more slowly, you will have the feeling of staying for a long time. Some flavors we want to appear, but disappear quickly, such as bitter taste, sour taste, these flavors are a very important part of coffee, appear quickly disappear, can bring a comfortable feeling.

Some flavors we want to stay a little longer, such as sweetness, aroma, grapefruit, nutty, will have an aftertaste.
