coffee tasting

Reserve Coffee – Collaborative | Guided
With the reserve coffee, one places their hand over the small cup of coffee to briefly build up the smells and then waft them into one's nose. I found that, in the collaborative example, we were more likely to use a consistent vocabulary. In the guided tastings, an expert offered a proper tasting method and vocabulary. Red wine and coffee, which relied as much on smell as taste, often baffled me as I attempted to compare some of the more delicate differences.
