Description
The Coffee Tasting Handbook is the coffee drinker's essential guide to discovering and appreciating coffee's distinctive flavours, to buy better coffee and to enjoy each time.
With 800 possible aromatic compounds, your daily coffee is packed full of unique flavours, but the array of possible flavour combinations can make tasting coffee overwhelming. Beneath the complexity, however, delicious coffees have an orderly structure.
Coffee expert and entrepreneur Tim Ridley introduces his one-of-a-kind 'coffee tasting framework', complete with coffee tasting worksheet, coffee aroma map and coffee flavour wheel, to explain:
– The defining flavour characteristics of each coffee
– Why some coffees are tastier than others
– How coffee drinkers can identify the coffee they will enjoy
With step-by-step guidance, easy to follow diagrams and gorgeous lifestyle photography, The Coffee Tasting Handbook brings together a history of coffee, the science of flavour and the links between taste and terroir.
A celebration of the pleasure of drinking coffee, whatever flavours you favour, this handbook is the essential purchase for any coffee lover.
