QUESTION:

How to do the correct way of coffee tasting? What are the procedures involved?

ANSWER:

Coffee tasting is pretty much like wine tasting or tea tasting – you need a good sense of both taste and smell.

To become a coffee taster, you not only need to be able to discern the different flavors and qualities of each bean, you also need to know the correct terminology.
