Methodology

We start by delving into the diverse attributes of coffee, unraveling its complexities and nuances.

From there, we present an array of 4-5 distinct coffee varieties, spanning from affordable $13 per kilo options to luxurious selections priced at $800 per kilo, showcasing the full spectrum of flavors and qualities.

Easy To Use Framework

Our unique framework, a simplified version of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol, forms the backbone of our analysis. Through this structured approach, you'll learn to discern and appreciate the subtleties of each brew, honing your tasting skills with precision and clarity.

Good Fun

But it's not all serious business. At the end of each session, we incorporate mini-games designed to reinforce your newfound knowledge in an engaging and enjoyable manner. With our program, learning about coffee is not just educational—it's a delightful experience from start to finish.
