This workshop is intended for anyone interested in developing their sensory skills in coffee analysis and completing a full cupping protocol. As a result, participants will be able to properly analyze each coffee origin, distinguishing between different types of acidity and the main tasting notes found in coffee.
The workshop includes a theoretical and a practical part in which we will learn:
– introductory notions about the things we can find in coffee
– introductory notions about bitterness, acidity, sweetness
– introductory notions about tasting tools and techniques
and also a practical part in which we will learn:
– the difference between the main categories of aromas and tastes
– the difference between types of acidity and levels of bitterness
At the end there will be a Q&A section.
