The Coffee

Once you have harvested the coffee well it is necessary to ensure that the post harvest handling is carried out to perfection. The Coffee Academy classes include hands on training that will provide the needed expertise to produce specialty coffee. The Coffee Academy provides an opportunity to experience coffee and the process of preparing it in a way that few people are familiar with.

The Knowledge The Coffee Academy provides information on several important aspects of coffee. You will learn about the history, the origins and processing of coffee and gain an understanding of what goes into the production, processing, marketing and roasting processes. All of this information will be valuable as you educate your clients and build a reputation as someone who truly knows their business.
