Discovering the Art of Coffee Tasting

The taste of coffee can be a personal experience, varying greatly from one individual to another. Professional growers, sellers, and baristas, including those at Café Diario, have honed the art of coffee tasting, often conducting controlled tastings known as cuppings. For many coffee enthusiasts, distinguishing between a superb and a mediocre cup of coffee can be a challenge.
