Sensory Training

Discover how we taste, the essence behind our sensory experience through the way we taste. Have you ever wanted to enhance your experience of the world you live in through more than just your visual sensory experience?

This course will allow you to explore how you experience the world through your taste buds and your ability to smell.

The course is a combination of interactive exercises around evaluating what coffee tastes like, the tastes of everyday foods and discussing what they mean, how they taste, how you use your language to describe how you perceive food and drink through your senses.

By the end of this course you will be able to assess the quality of your coffee preparation as well as the quality of the coffee you are working with, discuss flavour notes within coffee. You will also have expanded your vocabulary to describe how everything tastes!

Konkret werden wir die folgenden Themen behandeln:

- Introduction to the 5 basic perceptible flavours.
- Tasting of different fruits to sharpen the senses of flavour
- Assess the different flavours and how they relate to coffee tasting
- Recognise familiar flavours found in coffee.
- Taste flavours with the limit senses available.
- Understand the difference between different quality levels of coffee.
- Professional coffee tasting (cupping) at the end of the course
