Sensory and cupping

Tasting notes

Also known as tasting notes · flavor notes · descriptores

What it is and what sets it apart: They put experience into words. Distinct from score: notes narrate; the number summarises quality.

How it’s perceived or evaluated: Use the wheel, keep 2–4 agreed notes and order (attack → finish). Avoid endless lists.

Flavours, benefits or impact: Help choose coffee and design recipes. Hype without cup backup hurts trust.

Technical notes: Must hold up in calibration. Local language + SCA terms when exporting cards.

Common mistakes: Do not copy another bag’s notes. Notes are not added ingredients.
