Well, much like how we choose different wines for different foods to create a memorable experience, coffee is another wonderful way to learn about our palates and taste preferences. Every person has a preferred blend, roast and pairing that best suits one\u2019s individual taste and when we know our coffee profile, we choose coffees and pairings best suited to us and create a more enriching experience of the coffee and food we are savouring.<\/p>\n<p>What is YOUR coffee profile? Coffee Profiles\u00ae are a combination of the intensity and flavour characteristics of the coffee you enjoy most. Intensity is determined by the beans\u2019roast and flavours are built upon the\u00a0 natural characteristics of the bean through factors such as cultivation methods, origin and terroir.<\/p>\n<p>Van Houtte has identified six Coffee Profiles\u00ae, and each of them combines one of the three intensities: Mellow, Velvety or Bold, with one of the two flavour categories: Fruity or Woodsy.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_woodsy.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16181\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/van-houtte-introduces-coffee-profiles-and-recipes-from-wendy-boys\/badge_2_bold_woodsy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_woodsy.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"170,160\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"badge_2_bold_woodsy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_woodsy.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16181\" title=\"badge_2_bold_woodsy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_woodsy.jpg?resize=170%2C160\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_velvety_fruity.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16179\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/van-houtte-introduces-coffee-profiles-and-recipes-from-wendy-boys\/badge_2_velvety_fruity\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_velvety_fruity.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"170,160\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"badge_2_velvety_fruity\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_velvety_fruity.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16179\" title=\"badge_2_velvety_fruity\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_velvety_fruity.jpg?resize=170%2C160\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_fruity.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16180\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/van-houtte-introduces-coffee-profiles-and-recipes-from-wendy-boys\/badge_2_bold_fruity\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_fruity.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"170,160\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"badge_2_bold_fruity\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_fruity.jpg?fit=170%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16180\" title=\"badge_2_bold_fruity\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/badge_2_bold_fruity.jpg?resize=170%2C160\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The discovery of your very own Coffee Profile will enhance your daily coffee experience by identifying the coffees that best suit your palate.
