January Cupping
We recently hosted our third public cupping. Our topic was on the seasonality of coffee. Like always, Branden reached into his brain and pulled out interesting coffee information. Information that just might improve your coffee drinking life.
PT’s sent us green samples of all the coffee that we were cupping for the day which we compared to the roasted beans.
We wanted to choose coffees that recently went through their harvest season which is why two of our choices were coffees from Colombia. Colombia’s peak harvest time is between October and December. It can take somewhere between 1 to 4 months for that coffee to arrive stateside. Time diminishes the quality of coffee, even green coffee, so we wanted to try to cup coffees that were (hopefully) coming fresh off harvest.
The Colombia Huila El Palacio hammed it up and was the crowd favorite. We also cupped Colombia Narino Reserva Del Patron, El Salvador Los Planes Pacamara, and El Salvador El Molino Orange Bourbon.
It was friendly and jovial as usual. We are already tossing around ideas for next month’s cupping. If you are interested please feel free to contact me at jmarsceau@gmail.com
