Think of it as sitting down to a meal. Some folks, out of habit, will add salt to their food before they even taste it. In the same way, many people add cream to their coffee before tasting it out of habit. And when there’s a lot of bad-tasting coffee out there, who can blame them?

You know the game where you put a jelly bean in your mouth without looking, and try to guess what flavor it is? That’s the best way to identify what you’re tasting in a coffee. Does it bring a fruit or spice or nut to mind? Does it make you think of a color? Does it bring back a memory? When tasting coffees, look for those things.
We do provide a helpful “Tastes Kind of Like” description on every bag of Pedestrian Coffee, but feel free to ignore it. Nobody gets to tell you what you should be tasting — you taste what you taste!
