very informative!

I really enjoyed this class and the level of detail that Jared and Luke went into on how the region, altitude, and processing of the beans prior to roasting can affect flavor, in addition to how they were roasted. It was also helpful to understand the defects in both the unroasted beans and the roasting process. This is the second cupping class I've taken - the first I took was much more focused on identifying roast defects, which was great for me as a roaster. However, this class gave me a robust background and foundation to have a better understanding of all that goes into the flavor of a coffee. I definitely recommend even if you have taken a tasting/cupping class in the past. I came out of this with a much better understanding of coffee, it's origins, processing, and sourcing, in addition to knowing how to properly cup/taste coffee.

You don't have to be a roaster to benefit from this class!

I'm not a micro-roaster, not a barista, don't even work in coffee. I'm just another coffee-addicted human who wants to dive deeper into his addiction to and love for coffee. And this class definitely helped with that. Highly recommend if you want to learn more about identifying and selecting good beans, and become an even bigger snob (proudly). Jared's knowledge is very deep and broad when it comes to coffee, and he clearly loves what he does.

Wow thank you so much for the kind words, John.

It was great hosting you and your questions in our classes. Hope you are enjoying your caffeine addiction even more!

Very Educational!

After taking the tasting class I learned about the different processes (washed, natural etc), and how they effect the taste. Now I know what to look for when buying beans!
