Cupping is a system of tasting and evaluating coffee that is used throughout the entire supply chain. For customers and newcomers, cupping is a great way to compare coffees side by side, and to begin to develop your palate. When coffees are experienced comparatively, their different flavour profiles emerge. Over time you can identify a coffee's origin just by its taste, and you will know what we mean when we talk about a coffee's sweetness, acidity, or body.

This casual tasting session is suitable for anyone who’s interested in learning a little bit more about coffee - particularly the Japanese coffee scene. So join Market Lane as we learn and taste coffee from one of Japan's leading roasters.
