Our Coffee Cupping Kit

The perfect coffee gift for anyone looking to learn and taste through a variety of coffees. The kit will teach you how to cup coffee - a process of brewing coffees for tasting that was created by the coffee industry. This kit was developed by George and Jenny Howell. We're excited to share it with you!

So, what is coffee cupping? Simply put, cupping is the act of tasting coffee through a standardized method used throughout the world. This method was developed for professional buyers of green, unroasted coffee. They had to select from many samples the specific lots that filled their objectives. They did not have the ability or time to brew an entire pot for each coffee. Thus, cupping – brewing each cup individually - was invented. 

Every lot of coffee we buy is cupped by us when the coffee is at origin, then at the departing port, again once it’s arrived in the US but not delivered, and finally, again when it reaches our roastery. That is when we determine the roast profile to bring out the essence of that coffee.
