Coffee Class with Leo!

Did you know coffee is a CHERRY!? Have you ever wondered how we get from farm to cup with this product? Curious about the fantastic flavor possibilities of different coffees? You came to the right place. 

At Convivio Café, we support shortened supply chains that help keep more profit in the hands of the people that do most of the work. That's why we support ORIGIN COFFEE that cuts out most of the middle men and keeps more profit with farmers, processors, roasters and packagers in the country of origin.  This month of September (Guatemala's independence month by the way!) we have a special visit from one of our partners in Antigua, Paralelo 14 Coffee and we're co-hosting this special event with you to share some their incredible knowledge and hard work.  

You'll get to do stuff like this: 

• "Cup" several different coffees ("cupping" is the fancy term for tasting, read: quality check) 
• Get a sneak peak on the behind-the-scenes of  what it takes to grow, harvest, process, ferment (yep, you heard that right!) and roast your coffee!
• Chat with friends - some new some old - about the trip you're taking with your taste buds! 
• Bonus ! You'll try some exclusive coffees only roasted small batch! 

You'll walk away with three things: 

• Crazy cool facts and flavors of Guatemalan coffee
• Deep love for the importance of our model - origin coffee 
• Exclusive experience with micro-lot, small-batch experimental coffees! 
• Oh.... and a 15% discount on coffee bags you purchase that day! 

PSA: We know caffeine post 4pm can be tough for folks, so we'll also have vegan-friendly snacks for you to soak up some of that buzz and head out for your Saturday evening in style!
