The taste of a coffee bean is determined by the type of climate and soil it grew in whereas, Aromas, on the other hand, are determined by the roasting profile. Sugar browning, for example, produces nutty, chocolate, or caramel notes. The Maillard Reaction is largely responsible for these notes that we taste in our coffee cups.
