Cupping Session Information
Every cup tells a story of dedication at origin and our Public Cupping Sessions are an invitation to experience that journey firsthand. Hosted right here at Arkib, these sessions open our doors to anyone curious about the art, science and sensory depth behind specialty coffee.
Stepping up to the cupping table is the rawest way to taste coffee. It is the exact ritual roasters, importers and producers use to evaluate clarity, sweetness and character across origins and processing methods.

The Methodology & Ritual
We will walk you step-by-step through the formal protocols of professional cupping. Guiding you seamlessly from evaluating delicate dry fragrances and floral wet aromas to breaking the crust and slurping for cup clarity.
A Curated Origin Lineup
Taste your way through a rotating selection of rare varietals, fresh seasonal harvests and distinctive experimental fermentations placed side-by-side to highlight how farming practices shape the final cup.
Guided Sensory Exploration
Learn how to identify and articulate complex flavour layers, ranging from vibrant tropical fruit acidity and gentle tea-like florals to deep, syrupy sweetness while gaining a deeper understanding of what resonates with your personal palate.
Community & Conversation
Gather around the table with our passionate roasting team and fellow coffee enthusiasts to share honest impressions, ask questions, and celebrate coffee in an approachable, engaging, and welcoming environment.
Terms & Condition
Booking & Confirmation
Due to limited seating per session, all reservations are considered final and non-refundable once your booking confirmation has been issued.
Punctuality & Session Flow
Out of respect for all participants, our sessions begin promptly at the scheduled start time. Late arrivals exceeding 10 minutes may forfeit their reservation without a refund to prevent disrupting the sensory evaluation process.
Attire & Personality
We kindly ask that you avoid wearing strong perfumes, colognes or heavily scented lotions on the day of the event, as lingering fragrances can significantly cloud delicate aromatic notes.
