The smell or taste of a wine after coffee mentioned in the context of a wine talk is relatively easy to recognise. However, it is a complex sensory picture that is determined by hundreds of different flavouring substances. Similar to wine, the specific flavours of the coffee bean depend on factors such as grape variety, soil type and weather conditions during growth. The name "coffee" comes from the Arabic qahwa (stimulating drink) - a term that was originally also used for wine.

1 = Coffee beans, 2 = Orchid flower (Vanilla planifolia) with vanilla pods, 3 = demitasse cup
