Aroma

Aroma is the first thing you smell when you open a bag of coffee. It can be described as floral, fruity, smoky and more. Some coffees have very strong aromas and others are milder in their scent. The strength or intensity of your coffee's aroma will give you an idea of how much flavor it has when brewed--the more intense the aroma, the stronger-tasting brews will be.

If you're looking for a milder brew, look for coffees with lighter aromas. If you prefer stronger-tasting brews, then look for coffees that have very strong and intense scents.

Taste

Taste is the most important aspect of coffee. It's what you experience when you drink your cup, and it's also what makes up a lot of your overall impression of the brew.

In reality, however, taste is a combination of aroma and flavor--the two senses that come together to create your perception of any given beverage. The aromas are what draw us in; they give us hints about what we'll find on our tongues if we take a sip (or slurp). When we take that sip or slurp, though, it's not just what we smell but also how those smells translate into flavors that matter most for our enjoyment as well as for judging whether or not something tastes good enough to keep drinking.

Coffee Flavors

There are many flavors in coffee. Some are subtle, and some are bold. Some flavors can be sweet, others sour or salty; some have an earthy or smoky taste to them. Coffee can have fruity notes like apple or cherry; floral ones like jasmine tea; nutty flavors like hazelnut or almond; and even herbal notes like mint or eucalyptus leaves!

There are many different ways to brew coffee, and each one can bring out different flavors. For instance, if you use a drip coffee maker or an espresso machine, the flavor of your coffee will be quite different than if you use a french press or pour-over method.

The most important thing is to try the coffee for yourself

The most important thing is to try the coffee for yourself.
