In the specialty coffee industry, \"cupping\" is how we gather data on flavor. It is the universal, standardized method used by roasters, green coffee buyers, and Q-Graders to objectively blind-taste, evaluate, and score coffees from around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWe are opening up our tasting lab to the Basel community. In this free, guided sensory session, you will learn how to taste coffee like a professional. We will strip away the espresso machines and milk, isolating the pure agricultural product to explore how geography, terroir, and post-harvest engineering (processing) dictate exactly what ends up in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhat You Will Experience\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eThe Universal Cupping Protocol:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn the official SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) methodology for breaking the crust, skimming, and slurping to maximize flavor perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Terroir:\u003c\/b\u003e Taste coffees side-by-side to identify the distinct flavor profiles of different growing regions—from the bright, tea-like florals of Ethiopia to the heavy, chocolatey bodies of South America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eThe Impact of Processing:\u003c\/b\u003e Experience exactly how a coffee's flavor changes based on how the cherry was processed after picking (comparing crisp Washed coffees, fruity Natural processes, and complex Experimental\/Anaerobic lots).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFlavor Calibration:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn how to accurately identify acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel, and how to map your sensory experience using the Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eSession Details at a Glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e BRÜ Flagship, Basel City Centre (Grenzacherstrasse)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003eDuration:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5 Hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/b\u003e Free (Online Registration Required)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003eGroup Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 12 participants per session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBooking \u0026amp; Scheduling:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistration for our free cupping sessions is strictly required.

We then use special cupping spoons to \"slurp\" the coffee. The slurping aerates the liquid, spreading it across your entire palate and into your olfactory system so you can taste every hidden note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eDo I need a trained palate or prior experience to join?\u003c\/b\u003e Not at all!
