BEYOND THE BREW — A COFFEE CUPPING EXPERIENCE
Aura Suites Downtown × Orient Retro
☕ Join us for a coffee cupping session to explore single-origin specialty coffee. A moment to slow down, taste what specialty coffee actually means, and connect with people over a shared cup.
GUIDED BY A CERTIFIED Q GRADER
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED, JUST YOUR SENSES
✨ What is cupping? Cupping is the method used by coffee professionals worldwide to evaluate quality, explore origins, and understand what's really in the cup. We've made it accessible, hands-on, and genuinely enjoyable — whether you're new to specialty coffee, or it's already a way of life.
This is an interactive, standing session — guests gather around the table, explore the cups, and engage at their own pace. Curious beginners and seasoned coffee lovers are all welcome.
☕ What you'll experience
- The language of coffee — aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste, explained simply
- A guided cupping protocol, demonstrated and then practiced together
- Five single-origin coffees, tasted blind — smell, slurp, and guess before the origins are revealed
- The reveal: the story behind each cup, where it grew, who grew it, and why it was chosen
- Post-session coffee, bites, and a chance to connect
