Introduction

Welcome to Tosana's Coffee Cupping Experience, where we invite you to embark on a virtual journey through flavor. Join our expert tasters as they unveil the intricate flavors and characteristics of our exceptional coffee beans, taking your taste buds on an unforgettable adventure.

The Art of Coffee Cupping

Coffee cupping is a sensory evaluation process used by professionals to assess the aroma, taste, and overall quality of coffee beans. It involves carefully observing the different characteristics of the coffee, such as its fragrance, acidity, body, and aftertaste.

At Tosana, we take coffee cupping to the next level. Our expert tasters have years of experience and a deep passion for coffee, ensuring that each cupping session is a truly enlightening experience. They guide you through the process, helping you discover the nuances and complexities that make our coffee beans truly exceptional.

Exploring Flavor Profiles

During the cupping experience, you will have the opportunity to explore a variety of flavor profiles that our coffee beans offer. Each coffee bean has its own unique characteristics, influenced by factors such as the region it was grown in, the altitude, the processing method, and the roast level.

Our expert tasters will guide you through a range of flavors, from bright and fruity to rich and chocolatey, helping you understand the different taste profiles and how they are influenced by these factors. You will learn to identify the subtle notes of citrus, berries, caramel, and more, as you delve deeper into the world of coffee flavors.

The Tasting Process

During the cupping session, you will be provided with a cupping spoon and a cupping bowl. The process begins with the aroma evaluation, where you will inhale the fragrance of the freshly ground coffee beans. This step allows you to assess the coffee's aroma and get a sense of what to expect in terms of flavor.

Next, the hot water is poured over the coffee grounds, and a crust forms on the surface. After a brief waiting period, the tasters will break the crust by gently stirring the coffee with a spoon. This releases the aroma and allows you to assess the fragrance in greater detail.

Once the crust is broken, the coffee is ready for tasting. Using a cupping spoon, you will take a small sip of the coffee, allowing it to spread across your palate. This step helps you evaluate the coffee's acidity, body, and overall taste profile. You will pay attention to the balance of flavors, the intensity, and any lingering aftertaste.

Unveiling the Story Behind the Beans

At Tosana, we believe that each cup of coffee tells a story. Behind every exceptional coffee bean lies a journey of dedication, passion, and craftsmanship. Our cupping experience aims to unveil this story, allowing you to connect with the people and the process behind the beans.

Throughout the cupping session, our expert tasters will share insights into the origin of the coffee beans, the farmers who grew them, and the meticulous process of harvesting, processing, and roasting. You will gain a deeper appreciation for the hard work and attention to detail that goes into creating the perfect cup of coffee.
