You know those cups of coffee that are so good you never want to set your mug down? Make that an everyday experience with our new
We’ve refined our tasting notes to help you choose coffee with more precision—now featuring scales that highlight three key flavor categories to help you make more informed decisions based on your flavor preferences.
Roast Level
The degree of roast that influences sweetness, body, acidity, and aroma. Industry wide, there is actually no single definition of a light, medium, or dark roast. Confusing, we know! So, these scales and ratings are relative to Stumptown's philosophy on roast.
Acidity
The brightness of the coffee—from soft and subtle to lively and vibrant. A low rating means the perceived acidity doesn’t pack a punch, and sweetness is typically more forward in the flavor profile. A high rating means the perceived acidity and vibrancy is bright where acidity stands out more than sweetness.
Intensity
The overall impact of body, or texture, and depth, or concentration of flavors. How pronounced the cup feels on the palate, and how intense the flavors are.
