Saturday, June 13, 1030 am – 12 pm. Festival Workshop 1: Coffee Cupping with Rob Fitzgibbon. Did you know coffee is produced via fermentation? Have you heard of coffee cupping?

Coffee Cupping is like a wine tasting, but for coffee. Led by longtime coffee enthusiast Rob “Fitz” Fitzgibbon, this interactive program invites participants to slow down and really pay attention to a drink most of us take for granted. The experience begins with a presentation covering coffee’s journey from farm to cup, how it’s grown and processed, how people have consumed it throughout history, and how to think about roasting, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Then, participants dive into a hands-on tasting, sampling three different coffees and recording what they smell and taste using stickers and a flavor wheel. No prior coffee knowledge required, just curiosity. The program finishes up with a group discussion comparing perceptions of taste and aroma, a Q&A session, and time to finish the coffee together. Coffees are selected specifically for each event and revealed at the end, often including a local roaster’s blend as a fun hometown wildcard. Gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity, craft, and quiet wonder of coffee, and maybe never drink it the same way again!

The cost for the workshop is $25 per person (plus Eventbrite fees). Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/coffee-cupping-workshop-at-the-plymouth-pickle-fermentation-festival-tickets-1990283063219
