Festival Of Food And Drink

During this 45-minute workshop, you'll be transported on a journey from tree to cup, so you know exactly what goes in your cup of brew every morning. Discover coffee's origins and its legends, its varietals and processes, and ultimately - what is coffee and why are we all so obsessed with it?

Next, we'll explore a selection of 4 coffees roasted by Stokes coffee roasters: light, medium, and dark roast, alongside their decaf. Through the art of cupping, you'll learn the impacts roast, origin and processes have on flavour, putting your sensory skills to the test to compare and record each flavour.

But that's not all. the Stokes' experts will be on hand to answer all your questions, offer tips and tricks to achieve the perfect brew at home, as well as how to be more ethically, and sustainability conscious while enjoying your cup of joe.

You won't be leaving empty handed, there's plenty of goodies to be won, as well as a bag of Stokes coffee to take home with you at the end of the session.
