The art of tasting coffee
A journey through the senses
No other beverage has the beneficial effects of espresso on the mind and body. It enhances lucidity and concentration, stimulates creativity, caresses the senses and evokes myriad sensations and memories.This is partly due to the small amount of caffeine, but primarily due to its aroma and body. Aroma is the set of fragrances released from the cup and body is the tactile perception of velvet between the tongue and palate.Each aroma acts on the personal memory, bringing on recollections and associations. Tasting, that is, learning to drink a good espresso consciously, also means rediscovering the flavor of the past and more about yourself and your experience in the world.Tasting an espresso is, above all, a journey through the senses. And tasting is much more than merely trying, it is recognizing the components and understanding the reasons for the taste. Therefore you enjoy it twice over, broadening the pleasure of this most rich of experiences.
