Let’s learn all about coffee!
A Guide to Coffee Flavour Profiles
As coffee lovers, we know that there is a broad range of characteristics that you can find in coffee.
From earthy tones, sweet fruity flavours, to floral and tea-like aromatics, there is an incredible spectrum of taste experiences through coffee.
The Tasting Wheel below will help you identify the profile and associated flavours.
Coffee also happens to be one of the most complex beverages in existence. It’s not easy to understand and a true coffee lover’s “favourite” coffee can change daily. Important factors like the country it was grown in, how it was processed, roasted and brewed all affect the flavour profile and ultimately how it tastes in your cup.
Coffee is the liquid that connects us, the richness of life itself pooled in our favourite cups. Coffee is also one of the most consumed beverages in the world and a unique opportunity to connect with other humans, where every cent counts and personal ritual impacts us all.
Every one of us have different memories we associate with coffee. Usually they boil down to a moment of stillness in the vortex of modern life, a slice of reality shared with others in an era of surface connection.
