Robusta for Arabica Lovers

Join me at Gaviña Coffee in LA for this in-depth exploration of our friend canephora!
This CQI class explores Robusta through historical, biological and organoleptic perspectives. The history of Robusta and the Robusta market are used to create context for the present state of Robusta and its potential as a specialty coffee. Throughout the class, relevant comparisons to Arabica are made, including market statistics, farming and production practices, and cup quality. The goal is to introduce Robusta to a wide breadth of coffee professionals so that learners will realize the potential of Fine Robusta.
This is a lecture-based class that includes a tasting and discussion of Fine Robustas! Register through the CQI database here, and click below to buy your ticket.
