Flavor Notes and Tasting Notes
What's the Difference?

Flavor notes and tasting notes are both used to describe the sensory experience of coffee, but they refer to slightly different aspects.

  • Flavor notes refer specifically to the inherent flavors naturally present in the coffee bean, which come from the coffee cherry itself. These notes—such as hints of berry, citrus, or chocolate—are shaped by factors like the coffee’s origin, variety, altitude, and processing method. They represent the bean’s true flavor potential before roasting or brewing techniques add additional layers of complexity.

  • Tasting notes are descriptive terms used to convey the overall sensory impression of a brewed cup of coffee. They encompass aroma, flavor, body, acidity, and finish—offering a holistic description much like wine tasting. These notes are often identified during cupping or professional tasting and help communicate what a drinker might experience.
