Cupping Workshop

Cupping, or cup-testing, was developed as a means of consistently and impartially evaluating a coffee. The process, while it involves several distinct steps, is simple, especially if you take the time to acquaint yourself with the vocabulary required to describe the flavour and aromatic sensations of coffee.

Learning how to cup will enable you to develop your own repertoire of great coffees, and to find the best coffee for your dollar. It is also necessary in order to discover the major characteristics of certain regions or plantations, so you can create and analyze blends.
