Right, reporting in on the first tasting, I pulled about a 40ml shot in 95 degree water. Grinding, the smell reminded me of a bakery ??? Now I don't want to say blackberry just because others have but what I will say is that the feel of the flavour where it 'pops' is just like a berry does when it 'pops' in your mouth. You know if you raise your tongue to the roof of your mouth and the section that slants towards the roof of your mouth next to your molars. There and the back centre of my tongue. I don't know if any of that made sense. I got that type of thing with every sip as a straight espresso. I thought I want to have this last longer so put some more water in, nope didn't stay the same, what did happen though is as it cooled it changed again and there was another sweet taste. The feel stays around for quite a while afterwards too and isn't unpleasant 🙂 Now please don't ream me for the following, I'm only new at all of this, I've been dabbling in aromatherapy for 20 years though and I think this far outweighs anything I've learnt through that. I don't know that I believe in the getting minute tastes of different types of things BUT what I will say is that I think our olfactory senses do cause memories and that may help towards what we taste.
