Milk Chocolate, Orange Zest, and a Little Pepper: What’s Going On Here?
Coffee tasting notes can sound a little suspicious if no one has explained them properly.
Milk chocolate? Orange zest? Cracked black pepper? Dried cherry?
We get it. It can sound like someone went crazy with a thesaurus.
But tasting notes are not added flavors. We are not pouring in chocolate syrup, citrus peel, or peppercorns in the roaster. These are just the natural flavors and aromas we notice when a coffee is grown, processed, roasted, and brewed in a way that lets its character show up clearly.
