Class: Tasting Specialty Coffee

Someone famous once said: Drinking is to sustain our body and tasting is to sustain our soul. Ok, so we actually made that up, but it sounds pretty true, right?

This class is ideal for anyone who loves to taste and wants to experience coffee more intentionally, while better understanding what separates regular coffee from excellent coffee.

We will start with a brief look at coffee history, how it is grown and processed, and the difference between commodity and specialty coffee. From there, we will taste three diverse coffees from our line-up, including both our core and spotlight offerings. We will explore their characteristics and discuss their differences to better appreciate what makes each one unique.

The vibe is friendly, relaxed and genuinely fun. It is great for individuals, pairs or groups of friends who want a shared experience that smells amazing

Classes with 4 or less people registered may be rescheduled.

This the price paid directly to the farmer who actually grows the coffee. If it's an individual farmer who does all of the processing themselves, it will be per lb of green coffee.
