How do we know whether the cup of coffee is good or not. It all depends on what kinds of flavor it owns. Generally, there are two biggest part of the flavors-- 'aromas' and 'tastes'. I'll give a brief introductions of them .
Tastes : sour, sweet, bitter, and salt
We will find the tastes of coffee after sipping it. It's worth to be mentioned that according to the 2015 WCE (世界烘豆大賽 ) champion-賴昱權, all of these tastes all have a good one and the bad one . Take 'sour' for example, the one that makes us feeling comfortable called 'acidity', and the other called 'sour'. Besides, the good bitter will leave a distinguished body, lingering in our mouth for a long time . However, the bad one is just like the night when we stayed up late to finish the homework.
By the way, I'll show you guys more the difference between excellent and inferior coffee next week.
Aromas :enzymatic,sugar browning,dry distillation
We can smell the aromas of coffee before and after brewing it, and they are divided into lots of categories. Generally, the light and medium roasted coffee will have big part of flowery(wet process) or fruity(dry process) aromas. As for dark roasted coffee , the aromas of chocolate and nut are pretty obvious.
