I have started my journey in coffee some years ago, and I can tell when I like coffee based on its flavour, texture, acidity but the only thing I cannot taste is sweetness. What do I need to look for?

    It’s entirely subjective, like wine tasting. Sweetness in such a bitter drink is more about what flavor notes exist that your brain associates with sweetness. Apple spice coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, and certain floral notes like vanilla will pull “sweet-adjacent” associations in your mind that form a melody with the taste and smell.

      Defined that way, it have experienced it without knowing 😄. Thank you
