Intermediate Green Coffee SCA Course

The Intermediate Green Coffee SCA Course takes place, as per SCA protocol, in two full immersion training days. The course restarts from the basic course, deepening topics such as variety and cultivar, bourbon, caturra, gesha and so on.

In the course also a lot of practice on the classification and evaluation of coffee, on the analysis of market prices through the examination of defects, in the measurement of humidity and density. Again, cupping tests to compare the samples sent by the farmers.
