Why Drinking Coffee From A Green Mug Could Make For A Better Morning Cup
BY CLAIRE REDDEN
When it comes to improving coffee, you may try tweaking your brewing methods, but something as simple as the color of your coffee mug can alter the taste of your brew.
Taste is a multi-sensory experience that relies on visual stimulation, with brown, black, and red equated to sweetness, yellow and green to sourness, and white to saltiness.
When it comes to coffee, sourness is often the flavor that gives it depth, meaning that a green coffee cup can trick your brain into tasting more complexity.
Likewise, if your coffee tastes too bitter, you can try a red mug to bring out more sweet notes or experiment with different colored mugs to see what notes you can detect.
