The little secret to knowing coffee by smell

Olfactory perception is particularly important in professional coffee tasting.

But for coffee lovers, the aroma of coffee often brings us embarrassment. We can taste the flavor, but we can't describe it with words. Haha~

If you have this kind of embarrassment, I recommend a training tool for you, which can help you increase your ability to identify aromas and your vocabulary to describe aromas.

▲ 36-flavor scent bottle set

The "Aroma Bottle" is a basic tool for baristas to learn how to identify coffee flavors. It has the same function as a red wine aroma bottle. It is called "36 AROMAS IN COFFEE" in English. It is a set of tools for aroma reference, aroma memory, and aroma identification consisting of 36 aromas. Each set is equipped with a set of description cards for each aroma.

Fully mastering this skill can help you become a qualified professional barista. Then, describing the aroma and tasting experience you have identified to your customers can help them appreciate the beauty of this cup of coffee. It is the pride of being a barista!
