Description
During the course, we will introduce participants to the principles of the creation and perception of aromas and flavors. Together, we will go through a blind test of basic flavors, progress to recognizing aromas using the Le nez du café set, and then try out blind tasting of flavors typical of roasted coffee.
The goal of the course is to better understand the individual components of olfactory and gustatory sensations, which influence our very subjective perception and evaluation of aromas and flavors. We will explain and try out cupping according to SCA rules, including the cupping protocol.
During the course, we will examine and compare very subtle shades of aromas and flavors, so we ask participants to not use any perfumes before coming to the course!
The total duration of the course is 2.5 hours. The course is limited to 8 participants.
