Bui Hai Nhi is a taster and member of the quality assurance department at our Tri An roastery in Đồng Nai, Vietnam. She ensures that our products meet NESCAFÉ’s highest standards to be enjoyed by you! “The taster’s role is to maintain quality consistency before delivering to the consumer,” she says. Sampling just a spoonful, she tastes green and roasted coffee, as well as the finished product. “You will feel either a thin or thick body,” she says of the experience. “And the aroma spreads to your mouth and nose.”
Depth of flavour
Nhi identifies product characteristic, detects and ensures the consistency of sensory attributes, and notes any deviations. She has fine-tuned her palate over time. “The key is to practice daily,” she says. “Then, year by year, you gain the experience needed.” After attending many training programmes over the years, Nhi has gained enormous know-how and skills. And she doesn’t just have keen senses, she has a deep understanding of coffee cultivation, and the impact this process has on flavour.
