Join our blind cupping sessions and learn together!

1. These sessions are held once a week - usually on a Friday morning - and are marked on the calendar.

2. Samples will be 3-number coded without green/roasted bean sample trays and with no mention of any information of the coffee. They will be presented in a random manner during the blind cupping. Only the roasters of these samples will know the tagging of these codes to their coffees. The roasters can choose to attend or not attend these blind cuppings.

3. The roasters will get a report of the cupping based on scores and comments tabulated from the participants of the cupping sessions.

4. These cupping sessions and reports are part of our overall objectives in learning and community building, and it is free.
