It was great cuppingCupping is a method of tasting coffee by steeping grounds in separate cups for discrete amounts of ground coffee, to reveal good flavors and defects to their fullest.... ...more through all the lots last weekend in Oakland and getting the chance to have a dialogue about them and experiment with roast levels and SO espressoShort for Single Origin espresso, meaning using one origin specific coffee to make espresso, as opposed to using a blended coffee. ...more shots. We really want to encourage people to take part in this discussion in the comments section of each coffee. This is a really interesting opportunity to share cupping notes and whatnot and to promote a collaborative atmosphere with what is happening at the Shrub. You can also follow the comments on any of the coffees (for instance, coffees that you haven’t purchased but are curious about) and get updates as they come in. Let’s talk about it.
