Understanding Flavor Profiles

Every brewing method extracts different compounds from your beans and leaves. Pour over highlights acidity and clarity, while French press emphasizes body and richness. Tea brewing varies dramatically by type - delicate greens require lower temperatures than robust blacks.

Learn to identify tasting notes and adjust your technique accordingly. Astringency often indicates over-extraction, while weak flavor suggests under-extraction. The perfect cup balances sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in harmony.
