The day has finally come, whereby Yellow Brick Road hosts their first time ever, Coffee Cupping 101 in Wicked Pancake Parlour. Very casual cupping session whereby everyone in the event can have a glimpse on 'how cupping session' works. No experience needed in this coffee cupping session as this is YBR's first time hosting this event, as well as, the Head Barista will brief everyone about the cupping session in general.

So what's Coffee Cupping?

:-Coffee Cupping or Coffee Tasting is a practice of observing the tastes and aromas of brewed coffee. It is a professional practice but can be done by anyone.

-Moreover, the coffee beans that are use in the session, must be a specialty coffee bean(s), that must achieve at least, 80-points and above, in grading scale.

-Every specialty coffee bean have their own characteristic/profile to evaluate on.

-At times, some barista conduct coffee cupping sessions on selected specialty coffee beans to find a suitable mid-point where both parties, the barista and the customer will like it or find it suitable to preference. This process will allows the barista to set which beans to use for the business.

On the table, the specialty coffee beans featured from Nucaragua, El Salvador, Ethiopian, Colombia and a few more others.
