Sensory & Tasting Class

This hands-on class will teach you how to understand your palate and further develop your senses associated with taste.

Develop your palate and reset your senses with Commonplace Coffee.

This guided workshop helps you to connect how your tongue, nose, and body experience flavor, and how to use that awareness to recognize and describe what you taste in coffee.

Through simple, engaging exercises, you’ll explore:

• The five basic tastes and how your body processes them

• How aroma, memory, and experience shape flavor

• A structured cupping that teaches intentional tasting

This class is designed for all levels. No jargon, no pressure, just a supportive space to slow down, pay attention, and build real sensory confidence.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how flavor works, how to trust your palate, and how to make meaningful connections between what you taste and what you’ve experienced.

This class will enhance your ability not only to taste coffee but also food and other beverages.
