From Coffee Plant to Your Coffee Cup

Learn how coffee is grown and processed…and what that means in your cup

You have no doubt asked yourself “Where does coffee come from?”

For anyone who simply loves coffee – or wants to work with coffee – it’s important to understand its roots (quite literally!)

You need to understand where in the world coffee is grown, what it all starts with (species and varieties), and what makes one coffee different from another.

This course, From Coffee Plant to Your Coffee Cup, will take you on the fascinating journey that coffee takes from seed to cup.

When you understand coffee the way professional coffee tasters do, you open up a world of taste experiences. You deepen your love for coffee, you know why you prefer a certain coffee, and you can confidently converse with others about the characteristics you find in the cup.

This course is designed to teach coffee lovers as well as people entering the coffee industry to taste coffee like the pros do. Why is this skill important?
