Explore coffee scienceTen notes, one shared language
Every coffee lives somewhere between these ten flavor families. Tap one to see what to expect in the cup.
Berry
Juicy & Wine-LikeBerry notes describe the natural aroma and flavor characteristics of fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry. In specialty coffee, these notes are often accompanied by bright acidity that creates a juicy, refreshing, and wine-like sensation rather than a sour taste. The mouthfeel is typically silky to juicy with a clean, lingering finish that highlights ripe berry sweetness. These flavors develop naturally from the coffee's variety, origin, processing, and roasting not from added fruit.
Best for people who enjoy juicy sweetness, lively acidity, and vibrant fruit-forward coffees.
Four attributes that shape every cup
Body, acidity, sweetness, and bitterness combine differently in every batch. Tap a level to feel the difference.
Body
Body describes the tactile weight and texture of coffee in the mouth. Rather than flavor, it reflects how heavy, smooth, creamy, or syrupy the coffee feels on the palate.
Acidity
Acidity is the bright, lively sensation that gives coffee freshness and vibrancy. Acidity is a desirable quality that contributes clarity, balance, and complexity rather than sourness.
Sweetness
Sweetness refers to the coffee's natural perception of sugars, contributing smoothness, balance, and a pleasant finish while reducing the perception of bitterness.
Bitterness
Bitterness is a natural taste attribute that contributes depth and structure when balanced. Appropriate bitterness enhances complexity of the coffee.
