I dive deep into one of coffee's most elusive and subjective qualities: sweetness. I share the story of my first Costa Rican honey-processed coffee from five years ago that completely transformed my understanding of what coffee could taste like. I thought I knew coffee until I experienced that fruit juice-like sweetness that left me questioning everything I believed about brewing and roasting.

I explore the fundamental challenge every coffee drinker faces - the subjectivity of taste and how we each experience sweetness, acidity, and balance differently. I discuss why the tasting notes on coffee bags might not match what you actually taste in your cup, and why that's perfectly okay. Through live tasting of a Peruvian light roast, I demonstrate how personal palate development works and why brewing with others can help expand our understanding of coffee's complex flavors. Listeners will learn how to develop their own palate, understand their personal taste preferences, and appreciate that their coffee journey is uniquely their own.
