Customer Feedback
The event took place in a beautiful countryside location. The staff could not have been more welcoming. Everyone was made a speciality coffee at the beginning. It was a very professional talk on coffee and questions were welcome throughout.
We were able to take part in a proper coffee tasting known as the cupping, and then we got to see coffee beans being roasted and samples were shown at the different stages, as well as a tour of the premises.
In the time we were there we learnt a lot, including about the history of Moon Roast, how the altitude of where the beans grow effects the flavour and much much more.
We have a much better appreciation about the subject of coffee, and the difference between commercial grade and specialist coffee.
