In collaboration with Rising Tide, this Sensory Development Class jumpstarts your journey with a structured deep dive into the building blocks of coffee flavor. We'll analyze sweetness, acidity, and mouthfeel using sensory exercises and tools used by the top coffee tasters in the world, and then apply that knowledge in a guided cupping session. Expect to smell, slurp, and surprise your senses!

This class utilizes:

• Le Nez du Café / Scentone aroma kits

• Food-grade acids

• Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel

• World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon

• SCA cupping protocol

Whether you’re brand new to coffee or already roast-curious, this class gives you the grounding you need to taste with intention.

Offered monthly on Fridays at 9-11AM: 8/21, 9/11, 10/2, 11/13
