Coffee labels can be confusing. From bags of beans to café menus, terms like “Fair Trade,” “Direct Trade,” “Bird Friendly,” and “Rainforest Alliance” are everywhere, but what do they mean?

We’ll also do a demo brew of a few coffees processed in different ways and taste the results together at the end.
