Different coffees from different places in the world have different flavor nuances,

so we are really looking to capture and benchmark those flavors and really looking at coffee quality.

I'm Leslie Wolford, and I work on the coffee Quality Team and I get to taste coffee for a living.

So, the first thing is smell the coffee.

It is a good indication of what you're gonna get to taste.

So if you're excited about something you're smelling, chances are it's gonna be really good when you get to taste it.

Step Number 2 is slurping.

You can't evaluate what you're tasting until you slurp.

And so, when you slurp, I'm going to be pulling air into my mouth.

And the idea with that is it's gonna coat the whole inside of my mouth and really help me create an impression of the coffee.

So, just gonna drip my spoon in there.

I kind of chew it up a little bit, roll it around.

It helps me get a really good impression of the coffee.

And then we're going to actually use words to describe what we're tasting.

I get a little bit of a chocolate flavor, fresh green herbs, earthy, syrupy, flavors of citrus, floral notes,

and it has a very nice, pleasing sweetness to it.

The idea is to explore all of the great flavors that there are out there in coffee.

Enjoy it. Taste it. Share it. Because coffee is fun!

Coffee always surprises.
