咖啡一如美人醇酒，品類繁多，
且充滿令人難以抗拒、直欲盡飲三千的魅力；
愛戀咖啡，自應懂得鑑賞與品嚐：


品嚐之初宜先鑑賞，鑑賞則宜始乎聞香。

有咖啡新磨現煮，正如梢頭荳蔻、嬝嬝婷婷，
除了咖啡香外，是否另有暗香浮動、異香牽引？！

　---　某種植株？　某種花香？
　　　某種氤氲出於眉底眼波？
　　　某種情愫隱於低首回眸？

且儘量開闊胸懷、延展心靈，問聞以逑！


待得啜飲盈口，一任瓊汁玉液瞬息滿佈味蕾，
咋舌嘖嘖、毋懼發聲，且昂首向日，
面對天地世人朗聲喜樂宣布。


若行有餘力，儘可依次品嚐多種不同風味，
以鮮活的心靈與味蕾，一一體驗對照。
青春正長，且揮霍探索的過程，享受驚艷的樂趣；



而品鑑愈頻愈廣，當能了解她們愈深愈長。

《Peet’s Coffee & Tea》
．The Perfect Cup:　Tasting Coffee



Like wine, there are so many varieties of coffee
that tasting them all can be somewhat overwhelming.
But there is a fairly well defined and understood system
for appraising coffee.


* How to taste

First, smell the coffee. You can start by sniffing the coffee
when it is freshly ground, and then smelling the brewed coffee
to compare the two aromas.
Besides the obvious coffee smell,
what does each aroma remind you of?
A plant or flower you’ve smelled? Wood? Earth?
Leave your mind wide open.

Next, taste the coffee. To get the fullest flavor,
we recommend you slurp it, taking the liquid into your mouth
so that it spreads evenly over the entire surface of your tongue
and reaches all of your taste buds at once.
Don’t be afraid to make a loud noise.

If it’s possible,
it’s best to taste several different coffees side by side,
so the comparisons you make are as fresh in your mind
and taste buds as possible.

Prepare all the samples the same way,
so they are consistent with each other.
Take your time, and enjoy the process.
The more you taste, the better you get at it.
