Ever wondered what makes one cup of coffee taste different from another? From the soil where the beans grow to the way they are roasted and brewed, every cup has a story to tell.

Antonine University’s (UA) Office of Student Affairs (OSA), in collaboration with Croum Coffee, invites students to “Brew It: A Coffee Journey From History to Tasting,” an interactive workshop exploring the world of specialty coffee.

Based on Croum Coffee’s “Crop to Cup – Coffee Sourcing, Processing & Tasting program,” the workshop combines cultural discovery, sensory learning, and a guided tasting experience.

What to Expect

Participants will discover the history of coffee and follow its journey from cultivation to consumption. They will learn how coffee is sourced, processed, roasted, and brewed, and how factors such as altitude, climate, soil composition, coffee varieties, and processing methods influence its flavor and aroma.

The workshop will conclude with a guided coffee tasting, giving students the opportunity to compare coffees from different origins, identify their distinctive characteristics, and develop their sensory appreciation.

The session also offers an opportunity to connect with fellow students and share impressions over a common interest in coffee.
