At Sensorial Coffee Roasters, we don't just love coffee: we also love sharing it. For a while, we hosted sensory analysis workshops at our Poblenou shop, a hands-on experience for learning how to taste coffee and discovering everything behind every cup. We’ll tell you what they were like and what we learned in them.
What the workshops were like
In each session, we tasted coffees from different origins to discover and appreciate the characteristics that make each one unique. We talked about topics like origin, terroir, processing methods, fermentation, and roasting, to better understand the science and art behind every cup.
What was covered in a tasting
- Recognition of essential coffee acids.
- Recognition of aromas using fruits and other reference ingredients.
- Comparison of coffees from different origins.
- Concepts of fragrance, aroma, acidity, body, and flavor.
- Scoring and tasting criteria.
What we learned
Those workshops reminded us that anyone can learn to distinguish the nuances of a coffee: all it takes is curiosity and a little practice. If you want to start on your own, we can help with our guides on what a coffee tasting is like and what specialty coffee notes are.
And for practicing at home, there's nothing better than comparing several coffees at once. Try our coffee packs or choose from our specialty coffee.
