This coffee tasting workshop is more than just a tasting; it is an educational journey designed for enthusiasts and novices alike, held in the heart of coffee culture. Are you ready to elevate your knowledge and join a growing community that values every detail of an authentic coffee tasting in Barcelona?
The unique experience of a coffee tasting
In our quest to understand how to taste coffee, we submerge ourselves in a world where the senses are refined and the most subtle details take center stage. Tasting is not simply an act of tasting, but a ritual that every coffee lover should experience. Accompanied by a professional barista, each sip becomes a page written in the diary of our palate.
What to expect from your first coffee tasting
In your first encounter with the coffee tasting technique, you will feel like an explorer at the beginning of your journey. We will teach you to organize your sensations and to translate into words what your palate deciphers. Together we will learn how to evaluate coffee, from its visual aspect to its complexity in the mouth, including its aroma.
Distinguishing aromas and flavors: Coffee tasting technique
Our goal is to hone your ability to identify the varied flavor notes present in each cup. Coffee cupping technique is an art that you will perfect with practice: through recognition exercises, you will learn to distinguish from the vibrant acidity to the subtle sweetness that each bean brings.
The role of the trainer in the tasting
The professional trainer is your expert guide, who will patiently and knowledgeably lead you through the sensory labyrinth of coffee. With his advice, you will learn to unravel the profile of each coffee and to understand the importance of each step in the cupping process, a protocol that teaches you the way coffee is tasted by expert tasters.
Sensory evaluation of different varieties
Our expertise in the sensory evaluation of coffee allows us to identify the unique characteristics that define each type of coffee. From the vibrant acidity of an African bean to the diversity of a South American coffee, each sip reveals intrinsic notes and hidden subtleties that only a trained palate can perceive.
The fast tast workshop takes place in our Roaster located at Carrer Marroc 160, 08019 Barcelona.
The week of the course we will send you an email reminding you of our appointment, see you soon!
