Description:
Master Sensory Complexity: Student Organic Acid Kit
The Student Organic Acid Kit is an essential tool for any coffee professional preparing for the rigorous Q-Grader exam or seeking a deeper understanding of coffee chemistry. This kit allows you to isolate and identify the specific organic acids that define the flavor profiles of specialty coffee. By training with these high-purity standards, you develop the sensory "vocabulary" required to differentiate between complex acidities in a professional cupping environment.
The 6 Core Organic Acids
Citric & Malic
Master the bright, citrusy notes of Citric acid and the crisp, apple-like acidity of Malic acid.
Acetic & Lactic
Differentiate the sharp, vinegar-like profile of Acetic from the creamy, smooth mouthfeel of Lactic acid.
Phosphoric & Tartaric
Understand the unique "sparkle" of Phosphoric acid and the wine-like, astringent qualities of Tartaric acid.
Student Protocol
Concentrated for drop-wise use, allowing you to experiment with different intensity levels in a single cup.
