The Experience

There’s a sumptuous range of coffees out there, but how many of us know what we’re looking for in an amazing cup of joe? Join professional roaster and brewer Julien Langevin for a live virtual experience where you’ll discover secrets to tasting coffee the way the experts do.

  • Learn the side-by-side cupping technique that pros use to evaluate beans and brews.
  • Discover the importance of a bean’s "terroir," which includes everything from growing conditions to cultural influences.
  • Practice five rounds of tasting to identify subtle notes of fragrance, body, and flavor (think dark chocolate, blackberry, and cinnamon).
  • Reveal the origin and profile of each sample and find out how closely your own appraisal matches the real thing.
Class length: 75 minutes
Comes with the class: Our Blind Taste Test Coffee Kit includes five hand-selected coffees from around the world, sampling cups, tasting forms, and a detailed flavor wheel. To ensure you receive the freshest coffee, we’ll ship the kit to arrive one week before your scheduled class date.

About

Julien Langevin's fascination with coffee began with a college job in a café and eventually led to the world of professional coffee roasting and competitive coffee tasting. Realizing the value of years of knowledge, Julien created their own coffee education platform and began teaching classes. "I love seeing people get excited about coffee," they say, "Because I'm so excited about it!" Julien acknowledges that coffee tasting can feel intimidating for people who aren't in the industry, and they aim to break down those barriers and make coffee tasting approachable and fun.

For this class you'll need a kitchen scale or measuring spoons, a 1.2 liter kettle or pot, 2 additional mugs of any size, 2 spoons: preferably soup spoons, but teaspoons will also work, and a pen or pencil for notes
