Coffee cupping, also known as coffee tasting, is the practice used by professionals and enthusiasts alike to observe and evaluate the tastes and aromas of brewed coffee. It is a systematic process that helps identify the characteristics of different coffees.

The process involves deeply sniffing the coffee, then loudly slurping the coffee so it spreads to the back of the tongue. The taster then attempts to measure aspects of the coffee taste, specifically the body, sweetness, acidity, flavour, and aftertaste.

Cupping is not just about finding good coffee. It is about training your palate to recognize the subtle differences between origins, processing methods, and roast levels.

At Mosanko, we conduct regular cupping sessions to ensure every batch meets our quality standards. Our blends are carefully crafted after dozens of cupping rounds, comparing different origin combinations until we find the perfect balance.
