Hero’s Journey® Foundation
Coffee Masterclass & Fundraiser
“It’s a good thing to know that a cup is to drink from,
It’s a bad thing to not know what we are thirsting for.”
– Antonio Machado
An Online Coffee Tasting Event
Taste More
This is going to be quite informative, and a lot of fun!
Very few people understand why they like what they like about their coffee. We’ll go step by step with our taste buds, exploring a more discerning approach to your experience of coffee, and a bit more enlivening approach to your journey.
We will discuss what makes for a great cup of coffee, and why. We will cover some basic concepts about the neuroscience of flavor. Then, we will go through various brewing processes and present some ideas on how to make a great cup of coffee.
We can think about coffee as being about connection, inspiration, and drive. Some of the biggest changes of humanity have been inspired and fueled by coffee! In that regard, now is the perfect time to share a cup of coffee.
We will also enter into the process of the Hero’s Journey® myth to turn our coffee tasting event into an adventure!
Join us for an online Hero’s Journey Fundraiser like no other!
Tickets purchased before December 2nd will receive by mail a specially chosen 2 oz sample for the tasting.
This Masterclass enrollment limited to 20 tasters.
