Introduction

Coffee is more than just a beverage — it's an experience...

Step 1: Smell the Aroma

Before even taking a sip, breathe in the aroma...

Tip: The nose detects hundreds of scent notes...

Step 2: Taste and Slurp

Take a loud slurp! This spreads the coffee across your palate...

Sweetness: Natural sugars in the bean
Acidity: Like citrus or berries — not sourness
Body: The texture or weight of the coffee in your mouth
Flavor: Fruity, earthy, nutty, chocolaty?

Step 3: Identify the Flavor Notes

Each coffee tells a story through its origin...

Step 4: The Aftertaste (Finish)

Notice the lingering flavor once you’ve swallowed...

Final Thoughts

Tasting coffee is an art that blends sensation, memory, and curiosity...
