Description

Join Owner & Head Roaster of Calvin Fletcher’s Coffee Company as he walks through 4 blends of coffee paired with Circle City Sweets desserts Parlor Public House's Valentine's cupping & dessert tasting event is a formal coffee tasting. We'll be interacting with the 4 coffees at various points to get a full experience of what each coffee offers. Firstly, these wonderful coffees are a credit to the hard work and care of the amazing people at origin who produced them. Thanks to those who have made these coffees possible! Event Details: In a cupping, you will receive background information about the coffees (who produced them, where they came from, how they were processed, and any other pertinent info.) Cupping sheets will be provided to make notes along the way. The next step is to examine what they look like unroasted, roasted, and ground. Next, we'll smell the aroma of the dry grounds. Then, we'll add hot water to each coffee and smell the wet grounds. After 4:00min, we'll agitate the coffees and smell them again to see if we notice any differences after the coffee has steeped in the hot water. After we've smelled the aroma at this point, we'll scoop of the crust of grounds that forms over time at the top of the coffees. Around 9:00min mark we'll carefully (the coffee is hot!) slurp the coffees to see how they taste and feel. We'll be taking notes along the way so we can better analyze and remember each coffee. After 15:00min, the coffee will have had time to cool to around room temp, and we'll taste it one last time. Coffee tastes different hot than it does at room temp, so this will allow us to have a fuller picture of its flavor! Each coffee has also been carefully paired with a dessert from Circle City Sweets and will be explained during each course!
