In the coffee industry, 'CUPPING' IS THE FORMAL NAME WE GIVE COFFEE
TASTING. We use this system of tasting as an opportunity to evaluate
our current and newly arrived coffees, our recent roasts, and coffees
gifted to us by friends from other roasteries, both near and far. For
customers and newcomers, it is a great way to compare coffees side by
side and to begin to develop your palate. When coffees are
experienced comparatively, their different flavour profiles emerge.
Over time you can identify a Kenyan coffee just by its taste, and you
will know what we mean when we describe a coffee's mouthfeel, or
identify its flavour as fruity or winey or milk chocolatey.At a
cupping, there are up to 5 coffees on the table. We always taste blind
– i.e. we don't know until the end of the session which coffee is
which, to avoid preconceptions of what a given coffee 'should' taste
like. We start by assessing the dry aroma, then the wet aroma. Then
the fun bit: the slurping and spitting! Our staff will guide you
through the evaluation, explaining what we look for when we assess and
score the coffees.
Please register your attendance to this event to secure your spot - we
can only accommodate a maximum of 8 people. The $5 payment we have
asked for is a donation towards a charity - the Santa Clara foundation
in Guatemala, where we support local children's education with the
money collected at our CUPPINGS! You can read more about it here
