Making coffee is a mix of art and science, at all stages,
from the farm to your cup. When we are tasting
coffees and inventing new blends, we go from being
Scientist to Mad Scientist and back again. Heres
one of the tools that we use to evaluate
a coffee. Having this detailed avor
wheel helps us to communicate
two senses (taste and smell)
through another (words). It
helps us build a common
understanding across
our own coffee team
as well as across
continents, as we
work closely with
farmers to select
the specic avors
that our customers
savor. We even
have and use!
this zany wheel in
Spanish.
