coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a journey of discovery. Our Coffee Education and Workshops service is designed to empower coffee enthusiasts, baristas, and industry professionals with knowledge, skills, and a deeper appreciation for the world of coffee.
What We Offer in our Education and Workshop
- Flavor Exploration: Our workshops take participants on a sensory adventure. From understanding tasting notes to identifying flavor profiles, we delve into the nuances of different coffee origins. It can the bright acidity of a Kenyan coffee or the chocolate undertones of a Brazilian bean, participants learn to appreciate the diversity of flavors.
- Brewing Techniques: Brewing coffee is an art. We demystify the process by teaching various brewing methods – from pour-over to French press, AeroPress to espresso. You will gain hands-on experience, learning about grind size, water temperature, extraction time, and the impact on flavor. Whether you’re a home brewer or a professional barista, our workshops enhance your brewing skills.
- Understanding Coffee Origins: Coffee doesn’t magically appear in our cups; it has a rich backstory. We explore the journey from bean to brew. Participants learn about coffee-growing regions, the impact of altitude, soil, and climate on flavor, and the role of processing methods. Understanding the origin adds depth to the coffee-drinking experience.
- Latte Art and Milk Frothing: For baristas and café owners, mastering latte art is essential. Our workshops cover the basics – from creating a heart or rosette to more intricate designs. We also focus on milk frothing techniques, ensuring that every cappuccino or latte is a work of art.
- Cupping Sessions: Cupping is the coffee industry’s equivalent of wine tasting. Participants learn how to evaluate coffees objectively. We guide them through the process – from slurping to scoring – using the SCA cupping protocol. It’s an eye-opening experience that deepens their understanding of coffee quality.
