Workshop Description
Over the past four years, the SCA has undertaken a project to understand, develop, and evolve the SCA cupping protocol as a part of its Coffee Value Assessment System development project. This year, SCA released a draft of a new cupping protocol, which is anticipated to become the new official SCA cupping protocol. This workshop offers coffee professionals interested in first-hand practical experience with the new protocol a guided, intensive and thorough training session on the evolved protocol. Students will receive descriptive training, including how to use references, and a deep understanding of the affective section of the new cupping system. Multiple tasting sessions will give cuppers experience evaluating various coffees using the new system.
