The Vancouver Indy Coffee Scene

Coffee aroma is the smell of brewed coffee and coffee flavour. Without our nose, the true flavour would be limited to only the four taste buds of our tongue. The sweet, sour, salty and bitter areas of the mouth.

A lot of what makes up a cafe experience is reflected in the smell and taste of coffee. Typical coffee aromas include floral, wine, chocolate, citrus, spicy, tobacco, earth and fruit. Coffee aroma is also experienced after drinking the coffee when vapours drift upward into the nasal passage. This aroma is responsible for much of the coffees aftertaste  also called the “finish”.
