Cupping + Origines (français/french)

Explore the history of coffee from Latin America and Africa during our Coffee Cupping and Origins class in Montreal. We’ll look at the differences between various varieties and discuss different production processes and techniques used in different countries. We’ll also explain how these factors influence not only the price but also the taste of coffee.

Then we’ll put theory into practice with a cupping session. You’ll have the opportunity to taste and compare coffees from different origins, produced using different methods and varieties. Cupping is a tasting method used by coffee professionals for quality control and coffee selection.

The class is divided into three parts:

1. We’ll chat about coffee theory and history;
2. We’ll taste coffee through cupping;
3. We’ll talk and share our thoughts on the coffees we’ve just tasted.
