Think you know your Ethiopian from your Colombian? Your Sumatran from your Guatemalan?
Join us for a fun, interactive coffee tasting session before the Ticketing Professionals Conference 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.
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.
Monday 23rd March
Sessions run for 30-45 minutes.
Yes, there are prizes! Every session, the winning team takes home a bag of Sioptec coffee plus a 3-month coffee subscription for each person in the team.
