Coffee Value Assessment in Manila: Exploring Coffee Aromas

Our Coffee Value Assessment session in Manila on 17 July focused on aroma. Participants explored references, practised identifying and describing scents, and discussed how smell shaped their perception of coffee.

The exercises encouraged everyone to slow down and compare impressions carefully. Communicating those observations helped the group find clearer words for their sensory experiences and strengthen aroma memory.

Thoughtful discussion and shared discoveries formed part of the learning throughout the session. Each reference offered another way to explore coffee and hear how other participants described what they perceived.

Thank you to everyone for their concentration and curiosity, and to Dave and Jose for their hospitality and continued support during our Manila training. Browse the original album for the sensory exercises and classroom atmosphere. Maraming salamat!
