A Whole Coffee Tree Tasting in Berlin: 6 Cups from Leaf to Blossom to Bean
Taste leaf, blossom, cherry and bean with Yumeko from Gitesi Coffee Washing Station, Rwanda. A six-cup guided tasting in Berlin.
What if you could taste the whole coffee tree?
Most of us only ever taste one part of the coffee plant: the roasted bean. But the leaf, the blossom and the fruit around the seed can all be brewed, and each one tells a different part of the story.
On Wednesday, 14 October, Yumeko from Gitesi Coffee Washing Station in Rwanda joins us at warawul.live for a guided tasting flight through the whole coffee tree. Six cups, side by side, from leaf to cup.
What you'll taste
🌱 The tree
- Coffee leaf tea
- Coffee blossom tea
- Cascara tea (made from the dried coffee cherry)
☕ The coffee
- Fully washed
- Natural
- Anaerobic
You'll taste how the same plant can be so different, and how much processing shapes what ends up in your cup. Yumeko will guide you through each one and tell the story behind it.
Who this is for
Coffee lovers, tea lovers, home brewers, baristas, and anyone curious about where their coffee or tea comes from. No prior tasting experience needed.
