NY Coffee Beans and Tea Leaves

Every other week, the group meets for two flavors of coffee or tea. We grind the beans, inhale the aroma, watch how the color evolves and intensity develops. We then partake in the taste of that kind, experience the acidity and so on.

Bring your own mugs if you are a true coffee/tea connoisseur even one in the training is most welcome; if you forget, you may find a cup lying around hiding amongst the shelves, who knows! Once in a while, we alternate between coffee beans and tea leaves; rarely, we have a sample party of different varieties; sometimes, we have organic beans, once in a blue moon, we may have decaf ones. For coffee, we grind the beans on the spot; for tea, we try to keep the ceremony traditional with whole leaves or those kinds already bundled up in a ball. If you don't know what I am saying, come see it!

The events can be held anywhere. Your beloved organizer has not found a regular venue yet. Bring whatever best suits your appetite, be it cocoa, creamer, ice-cubes, whipped cream and even honey. If you need any of those to tone down the flavor each time, please(!) bring yours along!
