The anticipation before trying a new coffee origin is palpable.

In your mind, you might expect it to have the characteristics of an African coffee, or perhaps resemble those from Brazil or Colombia.

And then you realize there are new varietals on the cupping table you haven’t heard of before and now your imagination runs wild.

Interrogating Estella prior to the cupping to find out what she thought of the coffees, she was beyond excited, perhaps a little ecstatic. I felt reassured, knowing I didn't have to navigate this alone. Check out pictures from the event below:
