About The Class

The Sensory Skills Foundation course introduces the essentials of sensory evaluation in a practical and interactive manner. It investigates the way human senses influence perception and how to apply this knowledge when evaluating coffee’s natural characteristics. Learners gain the ability to differentiate certain sensorial aspects of coffee including body, acidity, bitterness, and more. The course introduces fragrance identification references and also focuses on the purpose and procedure for conducting an SCA cupping. Learners gain insight into identifying specialty coffee qualities, as wellas an overview of how to implement this in business. Practical learning objectives and activities specifically prepare the learner to identify basic differences in coffee attributes, recall fragrance identification and set up a cupping according to the SCA Cupping Protocol. A written exam tests theoretical knowledge based on Foundation course learning objectives.

RNY Roaster Round Up!☕️
 
This week we’re drinking a fresh arrival from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. In the cup we found bright, fruit-forward complexity, layered florals, and well-balanced structure.

When constructing blend recipes, it’s common to swap components based on harvest and availability. The key is to follow the same approach and roast profile, making only minor adjustments as needed.
 
To test this, we asked our in-house roasting professional, Mike Romagnino, to conduct production roasts of one coffee from both Mexico and Brazil. With his 15+ years of roasting specialty coffee, we knew he could see how closely a Mexican coffee could match the flavor profile of a Brazilian offering🔥
