You'll talk about origins and cultivation: discover which countries the beans come from, how they're harvested and which agricultural techniques shape the coffee's aromatic profile. A surprisingly rich world that begins long before roasting.
Fermentation and Comparative Tasting
Plenty of time is dedicated to fermentation and post-harvest processing, one of the most fascinating and least known aspects of specialty coffee. Understanding the difference between natural, washed and honey processes opens up entirely new aromatic landscapes.
The highlight is the comparative tasting: you'll sample several coffees in sequence, learning to identify the characteristic notes of each. By the end you'll have a new vocabulary and a fresh awareness — taking home not just a memory but a real education in taste, signed by Torino.
