Gourmet Coffee Gifts...

Gourmet coffee pros know what they like in a gourmet coffee and have a set habit to both smelling and tasting a new gourmet coffee. They deliberately slurp the gourmet coffee and swirl it all around the surface of the tongue and mouth. They want to obtain the full experience of the taste, the unique combination of sensations in the nose and on the tongue.

For all intents and purposes, our sense of smell and sense of taste are inseparable. Without our sense of smell, our taste sensations are limited. The tongue detects 4 basic sensations: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Most of what we experience as taste depends upon our sense of smell.

The tasting experience of gourmet coffee begins...

The tasting experience begins before you brew - with the grinding. When you inhale the aroma of ground gourmet coffee, you experience the first impression of its flavor - its Fragrance fills the air as you brew it. Aroma refers to your first encounter with a gourmet coffee when it's brewed - literally, the first contact of water and gourmet coffee. Lastly, there's a gourmet coffee's Nose. 

Take a sip of gourmet coffee. As soon as it reaches your tongue, it stimulates taste and simultaneously releases aromas inside the mouth.

A good cup of gourmet coffee represents the collaboration of many highly trained artisans - growers, professional tasters and roasters all working together to create a fine product. So, let all your senses work together to enjoy the fruits of their collaboration!

Gourmet Coffee Gifts show how well you know the person and their tastes. Have fun tasting and deciding on the right gift...
