The cup profile is the heart of coffee tasting. At AMASHI, each microlot expresses a distinct combination of acidity, body, and sweetness, shaped by altitude, varietal, and processing methods.
 
What is a cup profile? It refers to the sensory characteristics of a coffee: aroma, flavor, mouthfeel. It’s how we understand a coffee’s complexity and excellence.
 
AMASHI Coffee Comparison Table:
  • Geisha Natural: High acidity, light floral body, high sweetness. Notes of jasmine, white chocolate, tamarind.
  • Pink Bourbon Advanced: Medium-high acidity, silky body, fruity-floral sweetness. Notes of lavender, magnolia, passion fruit.
  • Chiroso Advanced: High acidity, juicy body, high sweetness. Notes of strawberry yogurt, peach.
  • Red Bourbon Advanced: Medium acidity, creamy body, balanced sweetness. Notes of cocoa, caramel, cola.
  • Java Natural: Medium acidity, full body, mild sweetness. Notes of citrus, black tea, dark chocolate.
  • Castillo Traditional: Soft acidity, medium body, lightly sweet. Notes of yellow fruits, bitter chocolate.
 
Why it matters:
Understanding these elements helps you choose a coffee based on brew method, taste preference, or time of day.
