Cupping Adventure

At Pod & Parcel, we elevate coffee appreciation through a process called cupping, not a dance move but our secret to brew brilliance. In this 'Testing Tasting Culture' hot water flows over freshly ground beans, creating a flavourful symphony.
With two spoons—one in the cup, one in our mouths—we decode coffee nuances, distinguishing between nutty, chocolaty, or fruity notes. Cupping isn't just a quality check; it's a crash course in coffee culture, a flavour fiesta influenced by weather, altitude, soil, and Pod & Parcel magic.
This ritual unveils the journey from bean to cup, proving we don't just make coffee; we orchestrate a taste symphony. Join the Pod & Parcel cupping adventure—sip, swirl, spit!
