Palate Development w/ Special Guest: Coffee Destiny | Aug 14th | Caffeinated Classroom

Special guest and seasoned Coffee Educator and Consultant, Coffee Destiny, will be in from North Carolina to introduce the Coffee Lexicon—the sensory language used throughout the specialty coffee industry to identify and communicate flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. Through guided tastings, you'll learn how to recognize common flavor characteristics, learn to better troubleshoot brew improvements, distinguish between different coffees, and describe what you're tasting with clarity and confidence. We'll compare coffees from different origins and processing methods while exploring how factors like variety, processing, and roasting shape the final cup. This interactive class is designed for anyone who wants to better understand coffee flavor, from curious beginners to seasoned enthusiasts.
