CUPPING
The course will be held at our totally equipped centre. The object is to learn cupping terminology and how to interpret it. Participants will learn different systems of classifying flavour into different categories and practice cupping and distinguishing aromas. The aroma, the colour and the flavour are of great importance. The fragrance of the roasted and ground bean and of the infusion, the flavour of the infusion, the vapours produced inside the mouth, the aftertaste, the body, the density and texture of the drink will all be evaluated.
In addition to being a pleasure and a chance to learn more, it is a plus for any business. More than one participant will be surprised.
OBJECTIVE: learn to APPRECIATE and DISTINGUISH COFFEES.
