What to Expect

Start the experience by tasting a selection of Early Bird's roasts from light to dark, alongside a local baked good and get a sense of what differentiates each batch.

You'll learn about the origins of Early Bird's coffee beans and how their flavour profiles are affected by the climate in which they were grown. Gain an appreciation for how Elio is able to take the beans from green to a decadent rich brown with his refined roasting skills.

Finally, you'll select which type of roast you'd like to create as a group with Elio as he walks you through the process. You'll package up a 1/2lb bag to bring home and enjoy another day.
