The Blind Tasting Lab
No labels, no assumptions — just you, your senses, and what’s in the cup.
Think you know your favourite coffee? Let’s put it to the test — blind. In this immersive and playful session, you’ll taste 3–4 coffees without knowing anything about their origin, process or roast. Stripped of labels, this lab invites you to connect directly with flavour, aroma and texture — no bias, just experience.
Whether you’re trying to sharpen your palate, uncover new preferences or simply have fun, this blind tasting format is a powerful way to build confidence and curiosity. Guessing is part of the game — but learning and discovery are what it’s really about.
What You'll Learn

Have Fun with Flavour
Share guesses, impressions and “aha” moments in a relaxed, guided format.
