Blind Taste Test Coffee Kit

Like other sublimely crafted sips (think wine, beer, and whiskey), each coffee has its own distinct characteristics of aroma, body, and flavor. Does it matter? Sure does—and knowing how to identify and appreciate coffee’s unique properties can help you find that perfect brew you’ve always dreamed of. With Anu Menon and Suyog Mody’s at-home kit, you can learn how to taste and appraise coffee using the same method as master growers, roasters, and tasters.

Inside, you'll find five single-origin, expertly roasted coffees from around the world and a step-by-step guide to the professional cupping technique. This is a blind test, so you won’t have any info on the varieties you’re sampling—you’ll sip each one and make your own appraisal with help from the included flavor wheel. When you’re done, you’ll break the seal on the Do Not Open! envelope to see how close you came to each sample’s actual origin and profile. Even if it turns out that you don’t have the palate of a trained coffee connoisseur, you’ll still gain so much know-how that you’ll be able to identify the roasts and flavor notes that can lead you to your dream beans. Kit assembled in New York with globally sourced coffee.
