Join Rich, aka the Penny Roaster, for a Coffee Taste Experience at Manningtree Arts on Thursday 14th December 2023.  This fully interactive and immersive event includes an informal discussion on the history of coffee, from its discovery in the 9th Century to becoming the world’s most popular beverage.

 Starting at 7pm and lasting around 2 hours, this event will feature a practical ‘cupping’ session, during which participants will have the opportunity to sample a wide range of coffees, including some rare and unusual varieties.

 The evening will culminate in a Q&A session and the opportunity to design and purchase your own unique coffee blend; an ideal Christmas present for friends and family.  Places will be limited, so if you would like to secure your attendance at this exclusive event, tickets can be purchased for £10 per person from Manningtree Arts, 19 High Street, CO11 1AG

“We really enjoyed our coffee cupping session! We got to taste and compare coffees from across the world and get a feel for their different characteristics which was fun and challenging.”

“Meeting Rich was the icing on the cake. He made us feel so welcome and willing to share his knowledge and love of coffee with us. And we loved his coffee barn, such a quirky, cool place. Thanks Rich!”
