Cup of Excellence Coffee Tasting at Misc Coffee is a thoughtful and immersive way to start the new year for anyone curious about specialty coffee and flavor exploration. This small group class invites guests to slow down, taste intentionally, and learn how origin, terroir, and varietals shape some of the world’s most celebrated coffees.
The tasting features Cup of Excellence coffees roasted by the globally recognized MOMOS Coffee out of Busan, South Korea. Guests will sample coffees from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, each offering a distinct expression of place and craftsmanship. The Cup of Excellence program is known for highlighting exceptional coffees, and this class offers a rare chance to experience them in a guided setting.
The session is led by Saki, a coffee educator and roaster, who will walk participants through the tasting process and share insight into what makes these coffees stand out. The format is hands-on and approachable, making it welcoming whether you are deeply into coffee or just beginning to explore beyond your usual cup. With limited spots available, the class is designed to feel intimate and conversational.
MOMOS Coffee brings an impressive background to the tasting. The roaster is home to the 2019 World Cup Tasters Champion and was named a 2022 Sprudge Notable Roaster, earning international recognition for quality and innovation. Featuring their coffees adds an extra layer of depth and credibility to the experience.
