What determines good coffee from bad? This question is far more complex than it appears on the surface, and despite the seeming simplicity, it’s a question we’re constantly seeking to answer. We have a team of professionals in our sensory analysis department whose job is to evaluate, assign value, and assist with the purchasing of every lot of green coffee that passes through our international warehouses and offerings sheets.<\/p>\n

Cupping, or “cup testing,” is our primary tool for discerning and describing the quality and value of the coffees we source, and our cupping lab evaluates more than 5,000 coffees annually. The professionals in our sensory analysis department are also constantly roasting, sorting, inspecting, and tracking additional data such as moisture content and water activity: They are the gatekeepers of quality at Cafe Imports.<\/p>\n

We would like to share with you some in-depth information about how we conduct sensory analysis here, what our cupping scores and notes mean, and answer our customers\u2019 questions about what makes good coffee good and bad coffee\u2014well, let\u2019s not talk about bad coffee, because we simply don\u2019t have any of that here.<\/p>\n
