I worked in Starbucks for quite some time and there are actually a few things which I find quite interesting. Before I start with the interesting topic I'll briefly tell you about the history of Starbucks.
There is this place called Pike Place in Seattle and this is where Starbucks was first introduced. This happened way back in 1977 and it was started as a normal coffee shop which has now turned into a big time company which most Malaysian love. I don't really recall the founder but if you are more interested you can always google and do your research in detail.
So people normally drink coffee mostly because of the caffeine content and that helps them to stay awake. Starbucks on the other hand has actually come up with 4 simple steps to taste a coffee in a perfect manner and that is why I'm here to tell you all that secret.
Step 1: Smell.
Our sense of taste is directly influenced by our sense of smell. When tasting a coffee, smell it first. Place your hand over your coffee mug or tasting cup. Hold the cup close to your nose and inhale. What do you notice? Describe the aroma.
Step 2: Slurp.
When tasting a coffee, it is important to slurp it. By slurping, you spray the coffee across your entire palate. This allows the subtle flavours and aromas to reach all the tasting zones of your tongue.
Step 3: Locate.
As you taste a coffee, think about where you are experiencing flavours on your tongue. Note the weight of the coffee on your tongue.
Step 4: Describe.
Use descriptive sensory words to express the dominant characteristics of the aroma, the flavour and the way the coffee feels in your mouth. Your own past experiences provide great reference points. What food or other experiences can you compare it with?
