So many have been to a wine or beer tasting, but have you ever been to a coffee cupping? 

The event is the first of its kind here in the Shoals! You are invited to join in as we serve 3 rare Haitian coffees, experience the whole cupping process, and learn about Haiti's coffee industry and various brewing methods. 

A donation of $20 gets all that, PLUS a 1/2 lb of Lyons Coffee Roasters Haitian coffee and a pastry from Woodpecker Cafe. All proceeds go to support education in Haiti through The 610 Project. 


Coffee 101: Brew an Amazing Cup
An overview of the many elements that go into making a great cup of coffee and a look at a few of the popular home brewing methods. Taught by coffee roaster Scarlett Lyons. All class donations will go to The Circles Project ( thecirclesproject.org). 
Coffee will be served.
