What cupping is

Cupping is a standard way of tasting coffee. Several coffees are brewed side by side in the same way, so the only differences you notice come from the beans themselves: where they grew, how they were processed, and how they were roasted.

Every cup tells the story of the people who grew it.

The Freedom Café

That is why we love it at the café. Tasting carefully is a small way of honoring the farmers behind each coffee.
