About this class
Are you a coffee lover and would like to find out more about your favorite drink? Or are you planning a fun and interactive group event for friends and family?
“Oops, they all taste different!” This is one of the first findings at each of our tastings.
During the tasting session, we dispel some persistent coffee myths with our usual wit and bite. You will then see coffee with completely different eyes and taste it with an attentive tongue!
In addition, we share a story or two from our many farm trips.
We always make small detours into history, botany, biology, chemistry, physics — but nothing that we non-scientists wouldn't understand.
