Who is Planet Bean?
Planet Bean began roasting coffee in downtown Guelph in 1997. Ours was the first roastery in the City for at least half a century. From the beginning our focus was on certified Fairtrade and organic gourmet arabica coffee. The scent of our coffee roastery became a part of the downtown experience and was an aromatic beacon for anyone with a fine sense of flavour. Although Planet Bean has moved shop a few times and changed its structure and expanded, it is still Guelph’s premier and primo coffee company.
Planet Bean has two coffees bar in Guelph serving all kinds of excellent coffee beverages created by our highly skilled team of baristas. Fresh roasted coffee beans are also available.
What is cupping?
Coffee cupping is an engaging sensory experience where coffee enthusiasts explore and evaluate the intricate flavors and aromas of coffee beans. Similar to wine tasting, participants sample various coffees, slurping and aerating to discern nuances. They evaluate elements like acidity, body, sweetness, and aftertaste, grading beans based on their unique characteristics. Cupping isn't just about savouring coffee; it's a methodical approach to understanding its origins, quality, and the art of brewing. It's a fascinating journey that unveils the diverse and rich world of coffee.
This event is suitable for all-levels.
