The Crown: Royal Coffee Lab & Tasting Room

<H1>Visual & Sensory Defects</H1>
<H2>Learn to grade coffee in this class focused on identifying flaws in the green beans. This class will cover both physical defects in green coffee and primary sensory defects. (Yep, we’ll be tasting them!)</H2>
Green coffee defect identification includes familiarity with beans damaged by insects, frosts, mold, processing errors, and myriad other factors. You’ll get the chance to sort with our professional team and understand not just the how, but also the why of what it takes to produce, prevent, and identify bad green coffee.
We’ll also be working to identify sensory defects, including taste flaws that result from molds, phenols, fermentation errors, and more. Sensitivity to defective coffee can be trained, and we’ll work to make sure you’re able to pick up on the sensory markers that indicate problematic coffee.
