Coffee Varieties and Cultivation Class / August 4th, Tuesday 3:30-5pm at OAKLAND

This class focuses on varieties (sub species) and cultivation of the coffee plant. You get a brief overview of history and geography pertaining to coffee, then dive into all the varieties of Arabica.
 
From Ethiopian Assessions, Yemenia, Bourbon and Typica, all the way to today's myserious SL9, "Inca Gesha", mejorado, and other newer hybrids and genetic research. 
 
Coffee cultivation pertains to diseases, anatomy, chemical composition, and growing practices alongside the people who pick coffee. 
​
This class has been designed not only for beginners in the coffee world, but also for professionals to learn more about the product they are serving. 
​
You can expect the following: 
 
1 hour - 1 hour and a half
Three small cups of coffee from three expensive flavorful coffees of different varieties
Resources to take home and utlilize
25% discount on any bag of coffee that day only
 
We have worked hard to make this class both palatable and in-depth. We encourage any and every question throughout the presentation and will do our best to accommodate everyone present. This class was born out of the desire to make sure that both professionals as well as hobbyists leave with more knowledge of the coffee process and the ability to explain and understand why coffee tastes the way it does.
