🍯 Setting Up a Honey Tasting Panel

How to recruit and train tasters, control the tasting environment, and use a standard sensory wheel and scoring sheet to turn subjective honey flavour into reliable data.

Education & Learning Tools3DModerate60 FPS

A tasting booth with a honey sample, a panel of trained tasters, and a floating six-family sensory wheel that reshapes live as descriptor scores change.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each honey type has a characteristic profile across six flavour families. Scoring a descriptor raises its wedge on the sensory wheel — the same 0–10 scale used on a real tasting sheet.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a honey sample, choose a wheel descriptor and drag its intensity, then change panel size and booth environment to see how panel agreement and score reliability respond.

💡 Did You Know?

Standardised sensory wheels let panels anywhere score the same jar using shared vocabulary — the same method used for wine, coffee and olive oil grading panels.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D tasting booth where a honey sample, a floating six-family sensory wheel, and a panel of tasters respond live to descriptor scores, panel size, and booth lighting conditions.
