Every Wednesday I conduct a cupping with three lucky patrons. This week we cupped India Monsooned Malabar, Kenya Peaberry, and Costa Rica La Magnolia (Tres Rios). It's an interesting learning experience for those involved, and I always come away with a new understanding of our coffees. My favorite part of today's cupping was listening to April describe the picture in her head as she tasted the La Magnolia: a fat, squatty gnome with flowing ribbons from his hat and pastel colors all around. Interesting.
We came to a consensus that it doesn't have to be our favorite, as long as it is unique, high quality, distinctive, memorable...
Email me if you want to join us for a cupping session some Wednesday evening.
