Women's Cupping

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 850 Joined: November 09, 2008	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.

The advantage you have is they'll be talking a lot and may forget what they tasted.

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 http://sidewalkmy... Dave Borton Milwaukee, WI

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 4226 Joined: June 27, 2007	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.
