The tasting exercises in this book made me slow down and actually notice the texture of each sip, not just the obvious flavors. I’ve read it twice and still catch new details about how to isolate aromas.

The way Freda breaks down sensory experiences into personal, practical steps is exactly what I needed—it’s not preachy, just genuinely insightful. I’ve already started noticing more detail in my everyday cups, and the slurping technique alone was worth the price.

I got this for a friend who’s just getting into coffee, and ended up stealing it back to read myself. The way Freda breaks down sensory experiences into personal, practical steps made me notice flavors in my morning brew I’d never picked up on before.
