SLURP!!!

Cupping, The Art of Taste.
Originally uploaded by Mr. phelps.

Coffee cupping: science and art. Coffee drinking that involves spoons, tiny cups, and a lot of slurping. The goal is to distinguish different flavors inside the specific coffee as a means of quality assurance (coffee by nature is very complex). Why go to all the trouble? Think of us as poison tasters, we wouldn't serve anything we wouldn't drink ourselves! Simply put, we slurp because we care. (That and it's fantastically delicious!!!)
