How can you make specialty coffee understandable and appealing to both professionals and consumers? Communicating a complex product is a challenge, whether you are addressing coffee buyers, baristas, or end consumers.
Led by neuroscientist Fabiana Carvalho, founder of “The Coffee Sensorium,” this training is designed for all coffee professionals – roasters, baristas, and anyone involved in specialty coffee.
INSTRUCTOR: Fabiana Carvalho, PhD
Fabiana Carvalho is a neuroscientist who received her MSc in Biochemistry and her PhD in Psychobiology studying neural processes of perception and memory. She has also worked as a postdoctoral researcher on a project investigating sensory perception as an anticipatory and constructive process instead of a mere passive and reactive process.
She is currently a collaborating researcher at the University of Campinas, Brazil. Her research project “The Coffee Sensorium” is focused on understanding multisensory flavour perception, particularly the influence of extrinsic factors (that is, ambiance) on the expectation and perception of flavour in specialty coffee. This research project has been conducted in collaboration with Prof Charles Spence at University of Oxford, UK.
