I have long been in search of some tools and/or exercises to aid in precise flavor perception and personal tongue mapping. Any good suggestions out there? I do an awful lot of cupping, and that has helped, but I feel like others are either making stuff up or are on a different level of ability to perceive flavors.
I believe that someone sells a kit containing an assortment of vials containing the flavors that can be encountered in coffee cupping.
I think it is fairly expensive, but I hope to get the kit someday.

The Le Nez du Cafe is a good tool. However it is an aroma perception tool, not a flavor perception tool per se. They are certainly linked, but not exactly the same. Thanks.
