We visited this cafe after attending Dr Dixit Diabetes reversal clinic where i go to work from 6 to 9pm on a weekday. The erandwane outlet was established 3months ago and had a 4.4 star rating from 180 reviewers. The cranberry cloud coffee was the best acording to them but we decided to order- Spanish bombon, hazelnut iced coffee and mexican bowl.

The cafe had live plants and copper spoons which felt amazing. A coffee tasters wheel was also there on wall.
This is the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel. It’s essentially a vocabulary map for describing what you smell and taste in coffee.
How to read it
The wheel works from the centre → outward:
Centre = broad category → middle = more specific → outer edge = very specific descriptor
For example:
Fruity → Other fruit → Citrus fruit → Lemon
or
Fruity → Berry → Raspberry
So you don’t have to immediately identify “lemon.” You can start with the broader sensation and progressively narrow it down.
The major sections in your wheel
| Colour | Main category | Examples from your wheel |
|---|---|---|
 Red/pink |
Fruity | Berry, dried fruit, citrus, tropical fruit |
 Yellow |
Sour / Fermented | Lemon, lime, acetic acid, winey, whiskey |
 Green |
Green / Vegetative | Fresh, dark green, hay-like, herbal |
 Brown |
Roasted / Spices | Malt, grain, smoky, tobacco, pepper, cinnamon |
 Blue |
Other / Chemical | Rubber, petroleum, medicinal, bitter, phenolic |
| / |
Nutty / Cocoa | Almond, hazelnut, peanut, cocoa, chocolate |
 |
Sweet | Brown sugar, honey, caramel-like notes |
Example: describing a fruity coffee
Suppose you drink a coffee and notice something like berries.
Start at:
Fruity → Berry
Then ask yourself which berry:
Berry → Blueberry / Raspberry / Strawberry / Blackberry
If you perceive raspberry, you can record:
“The coffee has a raspberry-like fruity aroma/flavour.”
You’re not saying raspberry was added to the coffee. You’re saying the sensory impression resembles raspberry.
Example: citrus
You might perceive:
Fruity → Citrus fruit → Lemon
or:
Fruity → Citrus fruit → Grapefruit
These can correspond to very different perceptions:
-
Lemon → sharp, bright, acidic
-
Lime → very fresh, sharp, green citrus
-
Orange → sweeter, rounded citrus
-
Grapefruit → citrus + bitterness
Example: chocolate/nutty coffee
You could move through:
Nutty/Cocoa → Cocoa → Dark chocolate
or
Nutty/Cocoa → Nutty → Hazelnut
These descriptors are particularly common in coffees with roasty, nutty, caramel-like profiles.
Green section
This isn’t necessarily saying the coffee tastes “bad.”
For example:
Green/Vegetative → Fresh → Peapod
or
Green/Vegetative → Herbal → Hay-like
These descriptors can indicate perceptions reminiscent of fresh vegetables, herbs, grass, hay, etc.
Roasted section
This area helps describe coffees where roasting characteristics dominate:
Roasted → Burnt → Smoky
or
Roasted → Cereal → Malt / Grain
or
Roasted → Spices → Cinnamon / Clove / Nutmeg
This can be especially useful when comparing light vs medium vs dark roasted coffees.
The unusual blue section
The blue section contains chemical/other descriptors such as:
-
Rubber
-
Petroleum
-
Medicinal
-
Phenolic
-
Bitter
These aren’t necessarily desirable flavours. The wheel is designed to provide a common language for whatever sensory characteristic is detected, including defects or undesirable notes.
The most important concept
Don’t try to jump directly to the outermost word.
When tasting coffee, work like this:
1. What broad family is it?
↓
2. What subgroup?
↓
3. What specific descriptor?
For example:
“Something fruity.”
↓
“Berry-like.”
↓
“Raspberry-like.”
That’s the basic logic behind the entire wheel.
How you can actually use it while drinking coffee
Take a sip and ask:
Aroma: What does it smell like?
Flavour: What does it remind me of?
Acidity: Citrus-like? Wine-like? Sour?
Sweetness: Honey? Brown sugar? Caramel?
Aftertaste: What remains after swallowing?
Then use the wheel to find the closest vocabulary.
One important point: the wheel is not a quality score. Saying a coffee has “lemon” or “rubber” notes doesn’t by itself tell you whether the coffee is good or bad—it describes the sensory character.
Thanks for such detailed post
