Slurping
Slurping is the act of quickly and forcefully sipping a liquid, allowing it to spread evenly across the palate for an enhanced perception of flavor and texture. This technique is commonly used in food and beverage tasting, particularly for tea, wine, and coffee.
In the coffee industry, slurping aerates the coffee, amplifying its aroma and flavor nuances. It is a standard practice in cupping, enabling professionals to accurately evaluate acidity, sweetness, and aftertaste across different coffee varieties.
