About this experience
You are in coffee country, so learn to taste it like a cupper. This experience takes you from bean to cup and shows why specialty coffee tastes different: citrus, chocolate or spice notes depending on the farm, the variety and the process.
A coffee taster teaches you to smell, slurp and compare several cups, and to recognize acidity, body and sweetness. It is a short, very sensory activity that can take place at your hotel, perfect after a coffee farm day or as a group plan.
