SPECIALTY COFFEE TASTING

Do you really know what you drink every morning?

For many of us coffee is an essential start to the day, yet few of us think about the long journey this fruit takes to reach our cup. Yes – coffee is first of all a fruit, and its flavour can range from sweet berry notes to exotic floral aromas. Just as we look for quality when choosing bread or wine, coffee deserves a conscious choice too.

The Coffee Spells coffee tasting is an invitation to a sensory journey where you will learn to tell quality from mass production and discover your favourite flavour.

During the tasting you will learn:

• What specialty coffee is: why only 5% of the world’s coffee makes it into this category.
• How to choose: what to look for on a coffee bag (region, processing, roast date).
• Filter vs. espresso: how these brewing methods differ and how they change the character of coffee.
• The impact of origin: how soil and climate shape a unique aftertaste.

A hands-on experience:
We will taste 4–5 remarkable coffees from different regions of the world, learn to recognise flavour notes and understand why one coffee tastes of chocolate and another of citrus.

Your host:
Aistė Košienė – founder of Coffee Spells, coffee roaster and Lithuanian Brewers Cup vice-champion '23. Her experience at the World Brewers Cup means you get the latest and deepest knowledge of the coffee world.
