Developing your sensory skills isn't just for coffee roasters, it's a fascinating look into coffee from another angle, and it can give you a whole new appreciation of the humble bean.

Assessing coffees is our bread and butter - it's what we do every day to ensure our coffees taste as good as possible. With an in-house Q Grader, we're uniquely equipped to look in-depth at the coffees we source and roast, and our Sensory Development School is your chance to learn some of those skills for yourself.

In this course, you'll learn to:

• Understand the journey of coffee, from bean to cup.
• Understand the various processing methods of coffee, and how these impact taste.
• Recognise the common defects associated with coffee.
• Prepare a cupping table, assessing coffees to an SCAA standard.
