Aroma
Coffee beans contain up to a thousand aromatic components that stimulate the sense of smell. Every coffee variety has specific scents and flavours, that are determined by the location where the plant grows, the quantity of precipitation, periods of sunshine, processing procedures, storage conditions, bean transport, processing of the beans at the manufacturer, packaging, and the beverage preparation procedure. The specific aroma is obtained by roasting at a specific temperature for a specific time. Aroma is the olfactory perception of the gases released in the grinding of coffee and the steam released in the preparation of the coffee beverage. This is one of the main categories assessed by professional coffee tasters when selecting beans.
