Seasonal Calibration 2.0 with Alina Vitrenko
The second part of the course about flowers. This time we will analyze and describe new flowers. Lilacs are blooming now, the rose season is on the horizon, and there will be other tree blossoms: peonies, elderberry, irises, lily of the valley, and others. We will add some elements from the previous course to review or to introduce them to those joining for the first time.
This is not just a calibration; it is a full one-day course on flowers where we analyze their molecular composition, learn interesting facts about each flower, and examine in detail the description and how each flower manifests as a descriptor in coffee. We analyze not only the aroma but also the flavor.
Course Program:
1. Introductory talk about aroma and flavor – how we perceive them, how to describe them
2. The "Floral" group in coffee. Common notes, shared molecular composition of flowers and blossoms. Analysis of common characteristics for description and flowers in coffee
3. Blind tasting and description of flowers, blossoms, and other items with a similar aromatic profile
4. Review of everything tasted and more detailed information on each
5. Coffee tasting and searching for floral descriptors
