Think you know your Ethiopian from your Colombian? Your Sumatran from your Guatemalan?
Join us for a fun, interactive coffee tasting session before the AMA Conference 2026 gets underway. You'll taste coffees from the four main growing regions of the world, learn what makes each one distinctive, and compete against fellow delegates to prove you've got the sharpest palate in the room.
What to expect
Each 45-minute session is part tasting, part learning, part competition. You'll be split into teams of four, guided through a quick training on what to look (and taste) for, then challenged to identify five mystery coffees by region.
Points for correct guesses. Bonus points for speed. Prizes for winners.
Whether you're a coffee obsessive or someone who just knows they like "the strong one," this is a relaxed, accessible session designed to be fun first, with a bit of friendly competition thrown in.
Then we can compare notes with delegates from the other sessions during AMA's opening night socials.
Session time
Wednesday 15th July
Sessions run for 30-45 minutes. 15 people per session, so spaces are limited!
Prizes
