Cupping Day Report
Last Friday we enjoyed an excellent afternoon of cupping in the company of some fantastic roasters and coffee professionals from the UK and France. We really appreciate the time everyone took to come and see us. Thanks for making it a brilliant day!
We cupped 26 coffees - a total of 3 tables, starting with some new crop coffees from Brazil and India on table 1, followed by more new crop Brazils on table 2 as well as a Colombian and two Bolivians. We finished on a high with a table of Bolivians, Rwandans, a Tanzania and two new crop Kenyans.
