Coffee tasting
Coffee tasting, also known as cupping, is the process of evaluating coffee's flavors, aromas, and qualities. During cupping, brewed coffee is carefully analyzed by smelling and sipping. Tasters assess characteristics such as acidity, sweetness, body, and aftertaste. Different coffee beans, originating from various regions, can exhibit unique flavor profiles influenced by factors like altitude, climate, and processing methods. This practice helps enthusiasts, roasters, and sellers understand and appreciate the complexities of coffee, ultimately guiding choices for brewing and blending to enhance the coffee-drinking experience.
