Definition:
For the purposes of About Coffee / Tea, aroma is the fragrance of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other foods or drinks
A food or drink's aroma is most concentrated when they are fresh and hot. During this time, volatile vapors rise from the food or drink and give off a more noticeable (and often a more nuanced) smell. That's why, when tasting tea or cupping coffee, it's best to note the aroma very soon after brewing.
Later, you can still smell some of the essential oils in the coffee or tea, but the aroma may not be as pronounced or complex.
Also Known As: smell, fragrance
