Flavor Quality Analysis Charts; A Possible Tool For Breeding?

[zamalito]

I've been getting into coffee roasting lately and I stumbled on this.

This type of chart could be very useful for mapping both flavor qualities and aspects of the high for documentation and breeding purposes. It also could be useful as a more standardized way to share with our colleagues the various traits of a cutting or strain. What do you guys think? By breaking flavor or effects down allowing analysis of both trait type and degree documenting traits in this way could really help us to learn about the heritability of crossing various traits in a more rapid manner than we currently are.

very good article by djshort also has a nice chart he made for cannabis based on wine tasting charts,i have been using it for a while and its a very well made chart and covers just about everything you need with out going too much into detail.i also have a wine chart that i use sometimes and is much more complex i will try and scan and post it as well

Good eye kane, I was just about to point out DJ';s chart in the first Big Book of Buds.

The problem with djshort's method is that it does not allow for a way to graph what is percieved with using his chart. With the combinatione of djshorts chart, a blank flavor analysis chart, and several sealed bottles containing fruit, floral, chemical, and wood essences similar to a wine tasting kit one could hone in on flavors very precisely.

Thats a great point zamalito, DJ's chart is more to just get an idea of the flavor, and not really for more indepth analysis. I agree that the two charts together, along with the kit could be extremmely beneficial (although I must admit that that chart looks like chinese to me right about now lol).

Zamalito, kudos man. I saw someone getting ripped to pieces for posting here recently about grow room tours and cannabis tasting, but I think it's something that is sorely needed in the cannabis community. And something that will develop with time, particularly if decriminalization comes to fruition.

One day there will be the true connoisseurs and then the ordinary folks who now call themselves connoisseurs but in truth are just people who like great weed. I'm not putting anyone down, but there is a difference. It's the same difference that exists between a professional wine connoisseur and someone who just enjoys drinking and collecting great wine.

As with true wine connoisseurs, it's not my cup of tea... I'm not interested in doing that personally. However, I believe that the entire wine industry and thus every wine drinker on the planet benefit from the research and analysis that true wine connoisseurs conduct. And so would the cannabis industry benefit from a real community of bud connoisseurs.

I love your avatar, man. RL Burnside is hilarious.

Rastamounika, I have a lb of panamanian grown geisha cutting but I'm holding out to do that before I get the hang a bit more. Dry process coffees mostly various ethiopian and yemeni moka but also some exotic australian that I really like. Mostly I brew it in a moka brewer for espresso.

[Thanks, Zam. He was a legend. My personal fave was probably A Ass Pocket of Whiskey, recorded with the John Spencer Blues Explosion, if anyone wants to look into R.L. ]

Yeah, that's a great one.
