Ready to elevate your cupping game? In this intermediate-level session, we’ll dive deeper into the attributes used to determine coffee quality, such as aroma, acidity, body, and balance, and discuss how these factors influence overall cup scoring. We’ll also explore the latest coffee processing trends shaping the industry, offering insight into how innovations like anaerobic fermentation and honey processing impact flavor profiles.

This workshop balances theory with practical cupping activities, making it an excellent fit for cuppers of any level. While taking Cupping 101: An Introduction to Coffee Tasting is not a prerequisite, it provides a solid foundation for those newer to quality evaluation. Experienced cuppers will find Cupping 201 just as enriching, with its focus on honing skills and staying updated on industry advancements.
