Your palate is your most powerful tool - and this workshop is all about helping you train it.

In Sense the Rainbow, we’ll explore how different tastes, textures, and aromas show up in coffee by starting with something a little unexpected: tasting a curated lineup of references across the color spectrum. You’ll sharpen your ability to categorize and recall flavors for use in coffee tasting.

We’ll end the workshop with the “Pot of Gold”—a guided tasting of carefully selected coffees where you’ll apply everything you’ve learned to describe and analyze each cup with clarity and confidence.

What You’ll Learn:
● How other senses can be used in categorizing flavor
● How to use real food references to build your sensory memory
● Practical strategies to develop your palate over time
● How to better describe a coffee flavor profile

What You’ll Do:
● Taste a variety of foods across the color spectrum, each chosen to highlight specific sensory qualities
● Learn and utilize a system for flavor cataloging and recall.
● Finish with a coffee flight tasting - your chance to apply your new sensory skills to real-world brews

This session is fun, engaging, and designed to leave you with practical tools for tasting and talking about coffee more clearly—whether you’re on the bar or just love geeking out over your morning cup.
