Coffee Vocab: BITTER

The best way to sharpen your descriptions of coffee you enjoy or dislike is to know the tasting terminology...
You have already learned acidity in one of our previous posts, now on to bitterness. Bitterness is one of the four basic tastes, perceived at the back of the tongue. This flavor is present in low-quality or over-extracted coffees (it must have not been a Vienna Coffee Company's coffee). The term is often, incorrectly used to describe burnt flavors.

Webster's describes bitter as...
being or inducing the one of the four basic taste sensations that is peculiarly acrid, astringent, or disagreeable and suggestive of an infusion of hops

So if your current coffee gives you a bitter taste in your mouth, don't become bitter yourself...
try Vienna Coffee Company's specialty coffees!
