In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of coffee tasting notes, exploring the diverse flavors that coffee beans can offer and providing a step-by-step guide on how to taste coffee like a seasoned connoisseur.

What if I told you that beyond the rich flavors and energizing kick, your cup of coffee might be playing a role in shaping the intricate world of your microbiome?

Each cup of coffee is a sensory journey and the coffee that ends up in your coffee has likely traveled thousands of miles to reach you. That journey is fascinating and the elevation and altitude at which coffee is grown are critical factors shaping the final brew. 

The journey to a perfect cup begins with selecting high-quality beans. However, ensuring that those beans retain their freshness and flavor is equally crucial.

The coffee plant gives rise to a variety of coffee beans, each with its unique flavor profile, aroma, and characteristics. Among the numerous coffee species, four major types stand out: Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, and Liberica.

Coffee owes much of its rich and diverse flavor profile to a process that can be misunderstood and sometimes done clumsily: roasting. The journey from green coffee beans to your morning cup involves a meticulous process that transforms the beans into the aromatic and flavorful essence we all love.
