What is Coffee Cupping?
Coffee cupping is a method used to evaluate the flavors, aromas, and overall quality of coffee. During a cupping session, various coffee beans are brewed using a specific technique that allows participants to taste and compare different coffees side by side. It’s an opportunity to train your palate and discover the distinct profiles of various beans.
