Explore & Journal Single-Varietal Coffee

A lifetime is not enough to experience everything that coffee has to offer. We all hear about Arabica, but did you know Arabica is just one species among over 100 coffee plants? Arabica alone has more than 60 varieties, each offering a unique tasting experience. Beyond single-origin coffee, we can begin to explore the diverse flavors of single-varietal specialty coffees.

During this mindful coffee tasting experience, you will be introduced to a surprise single-varietal coffee each week. You won’t know in advance how it will be brewed—whether as espresso, pour-over, or another method. The goal is to encourage you to embrace the experience as it comes, with curiosity and openness, just like life. I will frequently change the single-varietal coffee or brewing technique, so you can always return to enjoy new flavors and reconnect with the community over a great cup of coffee and a thoughtful pairing.

This is a great event if you love to:

– Experience how it feels to taste coffee mindfully, in silence.
– Connect with fellow coffee lovers in Victoria.
– Learn more about coffee from an industry expert.
– Become a coffee collector by tasting different coffees with an open, non-judgmental mindset.

Join me in discovering the world of single-varietal coffees—one mindful sip at a time.
