Which flavor should be placed at the bottom when scooping, mint or dcc, and why?

Placing mint at the bottom when scooping is a strategic choice rooted in flavor intensity and customer experience. Mint is a more potent flavor, and positioning it at the bottom helps mitigate the risk of overwhelming the palate. By placing mint on bottom, it prevents the potentially overpowering qualities of mint from dominating the tasting experience. Instead, it creates a more balanced flavor profile as the sweeter and potentially less intense flavors, like DCC, are experienced first, allowing for a smoother transition between the flavors.

The aim is to create a harmonious tasting experience where the mint flavor enhances rather than detracts from the overall enjoyment, ensuring customers leave with a favorable impression.
