Coffee, Explained Until It’s Enjoyed

I kept these because I noticed how the descriptions eventually stopped trying to name every flavor and started just telling the truth.

The cup as tasting note

The first cup asks to be read almost like fruit: “single origin Colombian coffee, notes of soft peach, apricot, sparkling lemon” [1]. That precision sets up the question the later cups answer: does remembering coffee require naming every note?

Then the words fall away

i enjoy drinking coffee but i am not convinced on the reason, it could be clearing the thoughts, it might be talking to someone with breaks, it can be just tasteful. Not sure but a great ceremony.

A dark cup on a floral patterned saucer lets the image do the remembering [2]. The next capture is almost dictionary-flat: “A reference to a cappuccino, a coffee drink prepared with espresso and steamed milk foam.” [3] Then comes the rough, lived-in verdict: “Turkish Coffee with Chocolate nice drinking coffee” [4].

Xanadu, Belek a cup of dark coffee on a floral patterned saucer, btw this is a classical Turkish cup, if you are seeing your Turkish coffee served with that you are at a good hand.

What stayed was not the most polished phrase. It was the plain pleasure of “nice drinking coffee” — enough language for a cup that did its job.

Keep drinking. :)
