On Wednesday, November 17, Red Rocket Coffee (1402 Queen Street East, just east of Greenwood, 416-406-0880) is holding a Coffee Cupping Event at 7 p.m. with Adam Pesce from Reunion Island Coffee. Reunion Island is a local company that specializes in high grown Arabica coffee, including Fair Trade, Organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified coffees.
For $15, you'll taste various coffees and learn about coffee cultivation, roasting and flavours. You may find it dispels some coffee-related misconceptions. You'll go home with a bag of Reunion Island coffee beans, and snacks are provided.
When I attended one of these sessions a couple of years ago, it changed my coffee-drinking habits forever (no more dark roast for this girl!) It also taught me where in the mouth to taste acidity (useful for wine tasting) and about the relationship between mountains and coffee beans.
In case you weren't aware, Red Rocket opened a second location this year, at 154 Wellesley Street East, 416-640-1355.
