Royal Coffee is proud to present the Crown on the Road, a series of free events anticipating the opening of The Crown: Royal Coffee Lab & Tasting Room.
We have teamed up with the Swiss Water® Coffee Taste Experience for a three day pop up inside this unique coffee without caffeine event.
Royal will take over the second floor for an elevated coffee experience, featuring coffee service, classes, cuppings and events.
During this session, Mike Strumpf and Chris Kornman will lead discussion and an informal tasting. Conversation will focus on the critical role of drying coffee both before and after decaffeination. Topics covered will include in-depth analysis of the concept of water activity and it’s relevance to the coffee world, as well as an overview of decaffeination and the patented methods employed by Swiss Water to craft coffee without caffeine.
Excited about this event? Check out all of our Crown on the Road Series here.
