"We aim to help businesses build a unique brand by introducing green coffee roasting as a new business element," says Kathi Zollman, instructor of the workshop. "Anyone can make you a cup of coffee, but the ambience, freshness and taste of just-roasted coffee is an experience to remember."

The day-long sessions begin with an introduction to green coffee, including the importance of maintaining a clear chain of custody from seed to cup. Participants will learn basic cupping terms and protocol. Comparative cupping will be performed to demonstrate aromatics, body, acidity, balance, and sweetness using coffees that are representative of each of those characteristics. The group will discuss "why we cup," quality control, product development, roast profile, and other topics.

In the afternoon, workshop participants will tackle the dynamics of roasting including basic heat exchange and coffee transformation. This part of the workshop introduces the roast process through a hands-on roaster demonstration of a single origin bean with three different profiles (light, medium and dark). Attendees will learn blending basics and cupping will be performed with several profiled coffees, including a discussion of the management of chlorogenic acids, Maillard reaction, first crack, second crack and dry distillation.
