The Mountains of the Moon.

This cupping is focussed on coffees from Atlas’ producer partners Bukonzo Joint Coop and will include some other notable coffees from the area showcasing a curated range of natural and washed coffees from the evocative region of Western Uganda.

Everyone’s a winner: We’ll organise a blind tasting of five fantastic coffees and set the challenge to match the coffees with the descriptions ahead of the call.

How it works

• This event is open to Roasteries (and staff) based in USA and Canada

• You will need access to an IKAWA Sample Roaster to take part

• Signups will close on 25th August, and Atlas will dispatch cupping packs to participants on 28th August

• You will need to roast your and cup your coffees ahead of the Zoom - ideal if you can cup just before the call which will take place on 10th September at 10:00 Pacific Time

• Don’t forget to use #coffeeconnected and tag @ikawacoffee and @atlas_coffee.

Three Coffees, Three Roast Profiles, Three Processes.

Produced by a small group of farmers in an undisclosed location (you’ll have to tune into the live QC session!) The team at Royal Coffee will be sending sending you a fully washed, honey, and natural coffee and a unique roast profile for each.

Check out the subtle differences in our roast approach and how they affect the coffees.

Cup them on your own before our session and see if you can guess the right processing method.

Participants are encouraged to take good notes, or to cup / brew immediately prior to the meeting and taste while we talk.
