How to Taste Coffee Like a Pro
We believe coffee is a gift from Mother Earth. As we've grown and opened coffee shops across the country, we've introduced more and more specialty, single-origin coffees from around the world. Part of the coffee experience that we want to bring YOU is not only tasting the high quality specialty coffee, but you ROASTING your own green coffee beans. After you roast your green coffee beans and get those amazing aromas filling the air, we go to our next portion.
Tasting coffee, or "cupping," is a sensory experience that engages more than just your taste buds. It’s a process that allows you to identify the unique characteristics of each coffee bean. Here's a quick guide to what you’ll learn in our coffee tasting education sessions:
Aroma: The first step is to smell the coffee's fragrance, both as dry grounds and after hot water is added. We'll teach you to identify different aromatic notes like floral, fruity, nutty, or chocolatey.
Flavor: Next, you'll slurp the coffee LOUDLY and spread it across your entire palate. This technique helps you pinpoint the distinct flavors—from sweet caramel to bright citrus.
Acidity and Body: We'll guide you in recognizing the "brightness" or acidity of the coffee and its "body," which refers to the weight or mouthfeel. Is it light and tea-like, or is it rich and syrupy?
Aftertaste: The final step is to pay attention to the lingering flavors after you've swallowed. This is the finish, and it can be clean and quick or long and complex.
Our coffee appreciation classes are designed to make you more confident in describing and choosing your favorite coffees!
