Join Market Lane and Noia Coffee for a fun, casual and informative coffee-tasting session, where we’ll taste and discuss some of our favourite coffees.

Cupping is a system of tasting and evaluating coffee that is used across the entire coffee supply chain. At Market Lane, cupping helps us decide which lots to purchase, provide direct feedback to our producing partners, and ensure that each and every batch of coffee that leaves our Weston St Roastery is tasting its very best.

For customers and newcomers, cupping is a great way to compare coffees side by side, and to begin to develop your palate. When coffees are experienced comparatively, their different flavour profiles emerge. Over time, you can identify a Kenyan or Brazilian coffee just by their taste, and you will know what we mean when we talk about a coffee's sweetness, acidity, or body.

This casual tasting session is suitable for anyone who’s interested in learning a little bit more about coffee. We’ll keep it fun and accessible, while introducing some of the techniques we use in the industry to taste coffee professionally and objectively, with the goal of helping you feel more confident and informed the next time you’re ordering a coffee or buying beans.

Every ticket comes with a 150g bag of coffee to take home
