What is a coffee tasting workshop?
Most people have never actually tasted their coffee. They've drunk it. Gulped it, even. We slow it down, cup by cup, until you can name the jasmine, the cacao and the finish that lingers.
Q / A
So what actually happens in a session?
You taste a curated flight of coffees side by side, learn simple, repeatable techniques to identify aroma, acidity, sweetness, body and finish, and hear how origin, processing and roast shape flavour. Then everyone compares notes around the table, just like a wine tasting, giving you the buzz, without the booze.
From bean to brew
Every cup has a backstory.
We trace flavour from the farm to your cup, so the next coffee you order isn't a guess.
Two ways to experience it
A team of thirty, or a table of one.
Every session is guided, hands-on and led personally by Ananya. Pick the format that fits.

Meet your host
“Coffee tasting should feel as approachable as wine tasting: thoughtful, guided and enjoyable.”
Ananya went from homebrewer to SCA-certified roaster, training at Bettr Academy in Singapore to understand coffee from the inside: the heat, time, airflow and intention behind every cup. Her workshops favour clarity over complexity, helping people build a lasting relationship with coffee rather than chasing trends.

Coffee tasting goes way beyond just “good” or “bad.”
Came for coffee, left with a different way of tasting it.

Ask on WhatsAppWhat happens in a coffee tasting workshop?
You taste a curated flight of coffees side by side, learn simple techniques to identify aroma, acidity, sweetness, body and finish, and hear how origin, processing and roast shape flavour. It ends with a relaxed, wine-table-style conversation so everyone leaves with a shared coffee vocabulary.
Do I need to know anything about coffee?
No. Sessions are built for complete beginners and work just as well for people already deep in the specialty-coffee rabbit hole. Everything is explained in plain language.
I don't really drink coffee. Is this for me?
Yes, and you might be our favourite guest. Many people arrive saying “but I'm not a coffee drinker…” and leave asking for a second pour. Light-roast specialty coffee can taste like tea or fruit, and the session is about tasting and discovery, not caffeine.
How much does it cost?
Public Find Your Perfect Cup sessions start at ₹1,500 per seat, booked on Urbanaut. Corporate workshops start at ₹30,000, and private workshops are quoted on request. The final quote depends on group size, format and city, with travel included.
Where are workshops held?
Public sessions run at partner cafés in Bengaluru, including Indiranagar and Basavanagar, and have been hosted in Bhopal and Indore. Corporate workshops come to your office or venue anywhere in India and internationally.
What is coffee cupping?
Cupping is the professional way to taste coffee. Ground coffee steeps in identical bowls, you break the crust to release aroma, then slurp from a spoon so the coffee sprays across your palate. It makes comparing flavour, acidity, body and finish easy. Read the full guide →
Who leads the workshops?
Every session is led personally by founder Ananya Ingle: SCA Roasting Foundation & Intermediate, SCA Brewing Intermediate, and AWSCA Barista Bootcamp trained in sensory evaluation.
