TASTE THE PROCESS
A guided coffee cupping with Kate comparing washed, honey, natural and fermented coffees side by side.
A Guided Coffee Cupping with @kate.beans
Same Coffee. Different Processing. Different Flavour? How much can processing really change the way coffee tastes?
From classic washed, honey and natural methods to experimental fermentation and co-fermentation, join coffee processing specialist Kate at @option_o.brewlab for an afternoon of tasting, comparing and exploring the science and creativity behind coffee processing. 🌱
✨ WHAT'S ON THE CUPPING TABLE?
🇨🇳 1. TASTE THE DIFFERENCE | Yunnan, China Explore how different processing methods shape the flavour of Catimor and Purple Caturra through side-by-side comparisons: • Washed vs Honey • Natural vs Anaerobic Natural

How much of what we taste comes from the coffee itself, its growing environment, or how it was processed?
🔬 THE BIG QUESTION Does processing reveal a coffee's character or create a new profile?
We'll taste, compare notes, challenge assumptions and explore the aromas, flavours and textures that make each coffee unique.
Whether you're a coffee professional or simply curious about what's in your cup, you're welcome to join.☕️
