CREATION COFFEE'S CLASSIC TO MODERN SCALE
Tasting Notes in Coffee: Decoding Creation Coffee’s Classic to Modern Scale
Coffee isn't just a morning ritual or an afternoon pick-me-up; for many, it's an experience akin to savoring a fine wine or a gourmet dish. Every sip carries with it a plethora of flavors that can evoke memories, spark conversations, and even take you on a journey to far-off lands. However, for a newcomer or even an occasional coffee drinker, understanding these flavors can be a tad overwhelming. That's why at Creation Coffee, we've designed a unique approach to help you navigate through these myriad tastes.
Understanding Tasting Notes in Coffee
Just as grapes grown in different terrains and climates can produce varying wine flavors, coffee beans sourced from different regions around the world possess unique flavor profiles. Factors like altitude, soil composition, and processing methods can all influence how a coffee will taste. Thus, when you're savoring a cup of coffee, you're essentially tasting the story of where it came from and how it was crafted.
Introducing the Classic to Modern Scale
While the traditional light to dark roast scale gives an indication of roast depth, it often doesn't capture the essence of the diverse flavor profiles present in single-origin coffees, especially since most of them lean towards the light roast side. This inspired us to develop the *Classic to Modern Scale*.
Classic Coffees:
If you love the warmth of familiar tastes, classic coffees are your best bet. They envelop you in timeless flavors, reminding you of why you fell in love with coffee in the first place. Expect to find notes like:
Chocolate
Nuts
Rich caramel
These are the coffees that pair beautifully with a cozy fireplace and a good book, offering comfort in every sip.
Modern Coffees: For the adventurers at heart, our modern coffees bring forth an eclectic mix of vibrant notes. They challenge your taste buds and introduce you to flavors you might not typically associate with coffee. Within these, you might discover:
Bright fruity hints like berries or citrus
Delicate floral aromas reminiscent of jasmine or rose
Unique tones such as tea, herbs, or even wine
These are the coffees that keep you on your toes, offering a new experience every time.
Coffees in the middle of the scale carry aspects of both worlds and might have subtle fruit notes or combinations of flavors like chocolate and berry.
Why Choose the Classic to Modern Scale?
Our intention behind this scale is simple: to make your coffee selection process more intuitive. Rather than getting bogged down by jargon, you can now easily pick a coffee based on the flavors you're in the mood for. Whether you're in the mood for something comforting and familiar or looking to explore something new and exciting, our scale is designed to guide you towards a coffee you'll cherish.
In Conclusion

By understanding and using our Classic to Modern scale, we hope you can better navigate the wonderful world of coffee flavors.
