Cuppery

Today I discovered some fun videos by Jason of CoffeeCupNews.org He posts videos of coffee tastings and his sheer enthusiasm for coffee is totally contagious. Watching his videos is really making me want to go on a cupping excursion. 

What is cupping, you ask?

It's basically the formal term for coffee tasting. More specifically, it's a method coffee tasters use to evaluate a coffee's characteristics. If you really want to learn more about cupping and the traits of different coffees, this is a great introduction: www.2basnob.com

You can watch Jason's "How to do a coffee tasting" video. He breaks it down nicely :)
