Discover a deeper appreciation for every cup

Cupping is the industry term used to describe a professional coffee-tasting. Using this method, coffee is evaluated all around the world. We use this tool many times a week to select our coffees, train the palates of our staff, and determine the flavor notes that we put on our bags.

Tours begin at 2:00pm CT and last 60-90 minutes

You will be guided through things like:
  • evaluating the aroma of the brewing coffee
