Tasting Theater

Sensory Learning, Not Just Slides – Coffee can’t be truly understood through theory alone; it demands all the senses. By pairing theory based instruction with real-time sensory experiences, concepts stick in a way passive lectures simply can’t replicate.

Interactive, Seated Format – Take a seat in a dedicated, distraction-free classroom designed for real-time tasting, open dialogue, and direct Q&A with presenters.

Seating is Limited – All sessions feature seated, flight-style tasting, so require pre-registration for all badge types. All sessions are FREE for Gold Pass Holders, or can be added to a General Admission Badge a la carte. 

Come Palate-Ready – Avoid heavy perfumes, scented lotions, or strongly flavored foods immediately prior to sessions to ensure the best sensory experience for yourself and fellow attendees.

Dietary & Allergen Notice – Tasting flights are standardized for each curriculum demonstration. Presenters are unable to accommodate food allergies, ingredient substitutions, or dietary preferences. Attendees are encouraged to participate at their own discretion.
