    Flavour Notes: Coffee Cupping with the Pros at Perk Coffee

    I absolutely loved my first coffee cupping session a few weekends ago. I’ve had a relationship with coffee since I was a teen. And when I say relationship, I mean that we’ve always had that connection in some way. First it was the Saturday morning Nescafé (shock horror –...
