Description

8 fine specialty coffee tasting in 4 flights from farm to cup Coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world. Loved and addictive, it is also one of the most complex beverages.  In this workshop, we are going to take a journey from the seed to the cup - be ready to drink coffee!  The workshop will start with an introduction to the History of Coffee. From the legendary goat that discovered coffee in Ethiopia to the first coffee shop, we will learn how coffee changed our society. A cup of coffee is the result of 3 characters: the farmer, the roaster, and the barista. We will take a journey into the coffee chain. We will start with a tasting flight of 3 different origins where I'll introduce the coffee tree, terroir, and farming practices. For the next tasting, we will brew and taste the same coffee processed in 2 different ways at the farm. After this part, we will dive into the roasting process and I'll explain our roasting approach with a focus on green coffee quality, an exceptional terroir, and roast style. The second part of the workshop will be focused on the barista's role. I will introduce 2 different brewing methods of home brewing and teach you how to make coffee like a pro by sharing with you all the explaining and science behind it. Finally, we will end up with the last coffee, consumed in two different glasses to highlight the importance of the overall coffee experience. We will wrap up with a short Q&A session where I will make sure you have all the tools and knowledge you need to make excellent coffee at home. Parking Side-street parking available with the exception of either side of our neighbors as there are certain restrictions.
