We'll be doing a Side-by-Side Tasting of five fresh-roasted coffees from around the world.
The participants will be led through a side-by-side tasting of the coffees, similar to how professionals taste and evaluate coffees ("cupping").
Your host for the event will be James McCarthy, Coffee Educator. James McCarthy has just short of two decades of professional experience in specialty coffee, ranging from barista to manager to roaster, as well as being the 2013 World Brewers Cup Champion. He has a strong passion for coffee education and firmly believes that coffee can be accessible. He uses his years of experience to deliver information in a fun, approachable way.
P.S. we have a couple of options for decaf lovers too!
PVT Decaf: If the guest is ok with a little bit of caffeine, they can taste the caffeinated coffees with us (it can be as little as drinking a few spoons of coffee). We’ll replace the extra 1 lb coffee with a bag of decaf to enjoy after the tasting.
PVT Double Decaf: If the guest cannot drink caffeinated coffee at all, then we can replace the Virtual Tasting Kit with 2 lbs of decaf to enjoy during and after the tasting. Delivery will not include glasses or tasting forms. We’ll still have some things to talk about re: the decaf coffee during the instruction, but the tasting itself will be done with caffeinated coffees only.
Kit includes:
- 5 pre-measured coffees
- Cups
- Forms
- Additional one pound of coffee to be enjoyed after the tasting
*The 30-min Express version contains 3 pre-measured coffees

Cynthia did a great job of leading our group through the coffee cupping process and helping us identify the different flavors and feel of the sample coffees!

Amazing experience tasting worldwide coffee. There were some of them from my country and I didn't know

The coffee educator started off pretty slowly, maybe due to the link not working and the event starting 10 minutes late?
Otherwise, I enjoyed the experience very much.
