Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Tasting notes are descriptive terms used to communicate the flavor experience of a coffee. Flavor itself is a combination of Taste (like sweetness, bitterness, sourness), Aroma and Mouthfeel, intercepted by the brain. Most tasting notes come from aroma, not taste. What we call “blueberry” or “chocolate” are aroma molecules that resemble those foods. Tasting notes help you map your sensory experience to familiar reference points and provide a shared language to describe those sensations.
