The Intro to Cupping Workshop forms part of the SCA’s upcoming cupping education program — the only program of its kind, built on the foundations of the Coffee Value Assessment and modern sensory science. Specifically tailored to be beginner-friendly and inclusive — whether you’re a barista, roaster, coffee enthusiast, or industry member — this workshop gives a welcoming and supporting environment to explore the world of coffee evaluation to those with no prior cupping experience.

You’ll learn the practical techniques to assess coffee’s sensory attributes through engaging, hands-on activities — bridging theory with practice.
