Coffee flavor how can the senses drink the flavor of coffee? How do you describe learning with coffee flavor?

"it's obviously an ordinary cup of black coffee, how can it have strawberries, tomatoes and mangoes?"

"Coffee Flavor Wheel is the most successful marketing since diamonds!" "I have followed your advice to eat more fruit. The more I eat, the more I find that the coffee does not taste like I eat fruit."

We must admit that some people are really talented, and there are many people who have a particularly keen sense of smell and taste, and they can easily tell the difference between An and B in taste. In this world, there are still most ordinary people, and ordinary people can tell the difference between An and B in taste, but there will not be a clear line, that is, I can detect the difference between the two, but I don't know where the difference lies. There are not so many geniuses in this world, and most people who are regarded by the world as geniuses just redouble their efforts after finding the right way. Yes, it is to find the right method, and then implement it effectively. If the method is wrong, people who work hard will only be in vain.

Why should we describe a cup of coffee as strawberries, tomatoes and dark chocolate. Imagine a conversation that might occur when two people are drinking coffee. "this cup of coffee is delicious." "what's so good?" "it's sweet and sour, and a little bitter, but the bitterness is acceptable." "then I'll take a sip. Poof. You call it sour and sweet, but it's so bitter that it turns sour. " There will be differences in the specific data boundaries between people for ups and downs. Maybe you think it's sweet, but I think it's bitter. At this time, the introduction of flavor description is for better communication. For example, strawberries, tomatoes, dark chocolate, which we can come into contact with on a daily basis, can basically tell the difference in the taste of these foods. But one thing to recognize is that coffee is always coffee, even if its flavor is described as strawberry, it is still coffee, but some aroma or taste can make you imagine it is strawberry.

So when a cup of coffee is described as citrus, flower, honey, it may just smell like flower aroma, citrus acidity or citrus aroma, honey flavor, similar to the feeling of drinking honey water. Whether merchants want to transmit the flavor of a coffee to consumers or coffee lovers, the use of flavor description in this way of communication will become more concrete. But if we want to communicate better, it becomes very important to set a standard, so the "coffee flavor wheel" was born. It basically includes the types of flavor that coffee will appear, pleasing flavor and disgusted flavor are written on it, but it does not mean that it is the "coffee flavor Bible". The flavor wheel formulated by Americans only meets their flavor standards. For example, Europeans usually describe coffee as red currants, which is rarely used on our side. It is because people have different eating habits that lead to different expressions.

The role of coffee flavor wheel is to make a round of systematic classification of coffee flavor, so that we can have a reference basis when expressing coffee flavor, rather than a score table to judge right or wrong. In Qianjie, for example, classmate A thinks this coffee smells like pineapple, while classmate B thinks it smells like mango. At this time, it is not to say that there must be a mistake between them. In fact, from a general point of view, they all taste tropical fruit, and it is very common for them to disagree under the subdivision. For example, when you are tasting a coffee with rich fermented flavor, classmate C thinks it is good coffee with the aroma of jackfruit, while classmate D thinks it is bad coffee, like the taste of rotten fruit. In the professional coffee evaluation, there is a standard of overfermentation, but for the public's taste, they are all right. As for how to drink the coffee flavor, how to describe the coffee flavor and so on. The advice given before Qianjie is to feel the taste of common food, eat more fruit and drink more coffee. It's obviously too broad to say that. Summed up for the previous street, in fact, what is needed is a systematic learning framework. For example, courses such as SCA sensory lessons and Q grander courses all have a scientific and specific learning framework when teaching people how to taste the flavor of coffee. Usually, when you want to learn or master a skill, you need to be clear about your purpose and what you lack. ① can not taste the flavor of coffee; for those who can not taste the flavor of coffee, Qianjie suggests that you start with your eating habits, eat a light diet, and then try to drink coffee first, to distinguish the sweet and sour trend of coffee from a simple start, and to give a grade to the degree of bitterness of a cup of coffee according to five grades. Slowly develop feelings. Then look at the ② point.

② does not know how to express the flavor; a large part of the flavor comes from the aroma of coffee, if you hold your nose to drink coffee, you will only taste sweet and sour. So at this stage, when drinking coffee, make good use of the nose to smell the coffee, and suck when drinking, so that the coffee liquid is more atomized and the sense of smell behind the nose is carried out. On the other hand, we need to add some flavor knowledge, coffee flavor wheel, said before that it is not absolute, but at present there is no more scientific coffee flavor relationship expression diagram, learn to classify the flavor of coffee. For example, if you want a cup of coffee with a floral and fruity aroma, according to normal logic, it will not have the taste of dark chocolate or nuts.

Another aspect is to enrich your own flavor memory bank. You can't say a flavor you haven't tasted unless you're a writer. Taste more and feel more. There is no shortcut. ③ is afraid to express the flavor of coffee with others. However, according to the observation of Qianjie, there are some people who can taste and feel the flavor of coffee, but they just can't say it. This type is generally "civil" background, not confident about their own skills (there are also some unknown key knowledge nodes), this type of solution is very simple, he needs to be recognized, can be to participate in some coffee exchange meetings to be recognized by others, can also enroll in some coffee sensory courses to get the approval of the tutor. Or you have a similar friend around you, you can try to encourage him.
