Precision doesn't have to be sacrificed for storytelling; in fact, those personal narratives can deepen your understanding of flavor. When I taste a Kenyan coffee that evokes camping trips, it anchors the bright acidity to a tangible memory, making the note more vivid. This approach transforms tasting from a clinical exercise into a holistic sensory experience. Why limit ourselves to dry descriptors when our brains naturally connect taste to emotion? Have you found that these stories help you recall specific coffees better over time?
