A coffee tasting event Monday at Mugby Junction’s Grand Opening at its Huff Street location gave the participants the taste of Coffee grown in India, Africa, Central America and South America. Mugby Junction owner of Carew Halleck educated the coffee tasters of the term called as cupping. Cupping involves evaluating the flavor profile of a cup. Cupping coffee is a meticulous job to do with tasting coffee from various regions and evaluating its flavor and aroma. It needs a lot of practice to learn Cupping techniques.
Mugby gets his coffee from IntelligentsiA, a Chicago-based roaster, whose coffee beans are procured directly from the coffee farmers. The coffee is usually organic and the IntelligentsiA spokesman Paul Rekstad is right when he says,
There are two things you need to have quality coffee. Good soil, weather and trees and more importantly a farmer that is passionate about what he does.
. I completely agree to it as the quality of the brew depends from the time coffee is harvested to the time it is brewed.
