Guys dominate the table and the forums, with notable exceptions <tips hat to Ginny>. I am putting together a cupping session of women from work who have expressed an interest in learning. I have enlisted the support of Cheryl, who lives about 30 SW of us and used to be a cupper for http://coffeeproj.... She now has her own business, http://magellanco.... Women often are involved in so many legs of coffee production except the final one, cupping/selection, where they are grossly underrepresented. I think Cheryl and I will take a run at 4 Colombians from Royal and see if we and the women cuppers can scrum for a good one in the bunch. Stay tuned. B|Java

Be prepared, they are likely to be much more in tune with the flavors than the fellas. The advantage you have is they'll be talking a lot and may forget what they tasted.![]() CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster

We need a matriarch. Maybe you Ginny can serve that role in absentia. When I discussed the proposed event with the woman broker with whom I work, she said she has found she is one of a very few women at the cupping table. In her humble opinion, women cuppers (who are more often chefs) have a better vocabulary and can pull out more flavors than guys (seems CHAD mentioned that first). Just a thought to rattle the cage, B|Java Edited by BoldJava on 04/06/2009 6:20 PM |

Same with hearing. The ladies can usually catch lower and higher frequencies than fellas of the same age. However, give them a map and, well, they'll have a map.![]() CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster

This is a go. Occurs May 1st. We are going after a good Guat; one SHB, E/P and the second, Antigua Panchoy. As well, for contrast, a Yemen Sinaani and a Hawaiian Ka'u. B|Java |
