The Coffee Character Wheel is a global first, developed as part of the Defining terroir of Australian coffee to increase demand and investment project to standardise acidity, mouthfeel and aftertaste sensory terms. The terroir has also been defined for Australian-grown coffee. The Coffee Character Wheel aims to unify the vocabulary used for describing the acidity, mouthfeel and aftertaste of coffee.
It is intended to be used in parallel with the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) coffee tasters’ flavour wheel to assist coffee researchers and professionals communicate the entire coffee sensory experience.
The Defining terroir of Australian coffee to increase demand and investment project was a collaboration between Southern Cross University, Processing Methods Bootcamp and the Australian coffee industry.
