4.3. Sensory evaluation
Although sensory evaluation from the Novadelta panel of tasters agreed with the analytical results obtained for robusta coffee samples, the same did not hold for arabica coffee. The range of values for defining each attribute seems very narrow (only from 1 to 4). Also, the panel has never been calibrated with analytical evaluation of the brewed coffee, which might explain a higher discrepancy between tasters and the difficulty in relating our results with the evaluation performed by them.
