Our March Roaster in Residence, Espresso Workshop have prepared an exciting sensory journey for their masterclass in their Orakei Roastery in Auckland:

Take a sensory journey with Espresso Workshop. Coffee has a diverse range of flavours, we’ll introduce you to the world of coffee flavour, showcasing the coffee origins we offer at Espresso Workshop, why they were selected and going into depth on their regional characteristics, what their attributes are, what flavours they offer and which might suit your taste preferences. We’ll talk about why we blend and why some coffees selected for single origin. The masterclass will conclude with a fun taste challenge to tie in some of the aspects presented in the masterclass.
