In this tasting-focused workshop, you’ll explore a curated selection of experimental coffees while learning how modern processing techniques shape cup character in exciting new ways.

We’ll discuss the science and motivation behind these methods, the controversies surrounding them, and their potential impact on producers, roasters, and the broader coffee industry. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for how processing innovation is pushing the boundaries of coffee flavor—and what that means for your own business or craft.
