What to expect in your Q Grader course.
The Q Grader Arabica course typically takes 6 full days to complete. The schedule below provides a typical layout for 3 days of instruction and practice with a subsequent 3 days of cuppings and examinations. Depending on your course instructor or your host, your program may look slightly different.
Check out the second Perspectives in Coffee interview with Seife Tuuloskorpi. The founder and face of Seife’s Coffee (since 1967) working with incredible farm cooperatives and producers to add value at origin, produce and process INCREDIBLE COFFEES.
Learn from Seife’s challenging and bold journey from Sweden to invest back into his birthplace Ethiopia. Though born in coffees provenance, he was raised in a traditional coffee market. We can learn from his willingness to risk, struggle and build an enduring legacy.
I highly recommend Seife’s Coffee. Not only as a friend, but as a true partner advocate for the long-term growth and health of our specialty coffee industry - this is a company you should seek to work with and these are coffees you won’t want to miss.
As mentioned in the video, click below to access and download Ethiopian coffee growing region maps as produced by Nespresso with their Technoserve project of which Seife has participated. These maps may be used for your education and decoration but not for commercial or sale purposes.
As mentioned in EP01, with Tim Heinze, we will be holding a Q-Grader Arabica course in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia at Seife’s Lab. Details TBD for March 2022. Join the Email News to stay informed.
