We'll explore four coffees from the same farm and harvest in Guatemala, each processed using a different fermentation approach.
Through a guided blind cupping, we'll taste, compare, share our thoughts and discover just how much processing can influence what's in our cup.
✨ No cupping experience needed. Just bring your curiosity!
