Will you be in the fair city of Portland, Oregon this upcoming Friday or Saturday? If your answer is “yes”, then surely don’t miss your chance to enjoy a three way cupping courtesy of Water Avenue Coffee. Read on:
Water Avenue Coffee is proud to present a unique look into farm-level coffee processing. Join us at any of our 4 cupping events to explore the affect that different processing methods have on your daily cup of coffee. We will be cupping coffees from El Salvador Finca Manzano. This 100% Bourbon varietal was all harvested from the same plot , on the same 2 days, the 14th and 15th of February 2011, and then processed using three different methods: Mechanical Washed Process (with a Pinhalense demucilager), Pulp Natural, and Full Natural (Dry Process). We will be hosting 4 separate cuppings and limiting each to 15 people.
