DavidoffBodyThis attribute descriptor is used to describe the physical properties of the beverage. It is evaluated by the fact how heavy a coffee feels in your mouth - the sense of its thickness. Body is the result of the amount of sediment or oil present in the coffee. It is described as light, medium, or full and will vary depending on the origin of the coffee and the brewing method. Coffees with a heavier body have more complexity of flavour. Body is a counterpoint to acidity: The same bean or cup of coffee won’t have both a lot of acidity and a lot of body. To evaluate the body, sip the coffee and let it rest on the tongue before swallowing. |
