Cupping under red light is a technique used primarily in the coffee industry during the evaluation process of coffee beans. The red light helps to standardize the visual assessment of coffee samples by neutralizing the color variations that can occur due to different lighting conditions. This ensures that coffee is evaluated based on its aroma, flavor, and body without the bias of color perception. Additionally, red light is gentle on the eyes, making it easier for tasters to focus on the sensory attributes of the coffee without distractions from surrounding visual stimuli. This method enhances the accuracy and consistency of coffee grading and quality assessment in the industry.
