Article Abstract:
Four basic components of aroma, body, acidity and flavor must be kept in mind while tasting coffee. The aroma is the heady scent that often promises more than the taste delivers, the body refers to the feel, or weight, of the coffee in the mouth, acidity does not refer literally to the pH level, but to a sparkle, a brightness, a tang that adds zest to the cup, and finally flavor is the evanescent, subtle taste that explodes in the mouth, then lingers as a gustatory memory.

Article Abstract:
Studies reveal that coffee is good for health as opposed to earlier beliefs and might also help prevent Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Although coffee cannot replace exercise and a healthy diet, it can increase alertness and concentration and reduce fatigue, and thus, coffee drinking in moderation is recommended.
