CQI - Understanding Taste and Flavors

For everyone new to sensory analysis, this learn-by-doing and tasting style course will impart a practical understanding of how taste, smell, and mouthfeel are used in the context of evaluating coffee quality.

As a one-day hands-on class, it begins with fundamental learning activities around the three key elements of flavor (taste, aroma, and mouthfeel).

It then builds up to an introduction to standard sensory analysis tools of aroma and flavor references, and how they are used when evaluating coffee quality.

To conclude the class, students will get the chance to put together what they learned through hands-on practice of actual coffee quality testing and simulating individual calibration with the flavor standards.
