Past Events

Aromas of some of the best coffees from around the world filled the air as members got a masterclass on the art of coffee from Kolb Coffee’s ambassador Astrid Lai this morning. She explained the history of coffee, the two major varieties -- Arabica and robusta -- as well as what makes a perfect coffee – from the growing to processing to brewing methods. Members sampled different sophisticated coffees with blends of beans from Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Central America and Costa Rica. At the end of the masterclass, members learned about “latte art” and tried their hand at creating their cup of art.
