Events Archive

A curated collection of past and upcoming coffee science events, seminars, and tastings, organized for researchers and enthusiasts.

An elegant still life of whole coffee beans from various origins displayed in shallow porcelain dishes, each dish labeled with small, cream-colored archival tags featuring tiny printed origin names and elevation data. The dishes rest on an aged map of the coffee belt spread across a sturdy, dark library table. A brass magnifying glass lies nearby, its lens catching a subtle warm glow from a vintage green-shaded banker’s lamp off-frame. The lighting is low and intimate, with gentle pools of warm light and soft falloff into shadow, evoking a quiet study. Shot from a slightly elevated angle in photographic realism, the image feels like a curated historical exhibit, calm and scholarly with a muted, antique color palette.
