Event Type

This talk is about COFFEE – something most of us love.
Speaker, Stephen Leighton will share his experiences from being a coffee traveller, sourcer of extraordinary beans, direct trader with farmers and all-round ambitious person. 

Join us at the NEST Cafe on Kensington Gardens, in the North Laines, for a presentation that will cover issues surrounding the production of coffee, an explanation of what makes good coffee good, the impact of climate change, what makes bad coffee bad and buying methods. We’ll finish with a coffee cupping to compare the good and the horrible. Expect enlightenment.

This event is part of the series: Growing a Feast

‘Growing a Feast’ is one of five sustainability projects to receive funding from the University as part of the Education for Sustainable Development initiative.
