An update on the workshop

Slow pour, paused.

Saturday's tasting and brewing workshop at Velvet Oak has been cancelled. The morning flight and brew clinic are off - we'd rather call it early than run a quieter version of the thing.

Cancelled

Saturday, June 27, 2026 - was 10:00 to 13:00 - Velvet Oak, Linden Lane

What changes

Thanks for holding a seat.

We had four roasts, three brew stations, and a flight timed to the cup. The plan was good - we still mean to run it - just not this Saturday. The note we'd send to each reservation now reads more or less like this one.

If you reserved a seat, watch your inbox for a short message from us the next time we set a date. Until then, the espresso bar is open as usual at Velvet Oak, and our retail bags are on the shelf if you'd like a taste of what we'd lined up.

The line-up we'd prepared

Four coffees that were on the slate for Saturday.

  1. 01

    Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe, Halo Beriti

    Washed

    Jasmine, bergamot, white peach.

  2. 02

    Colombia - Huila, Pitalito

    Sugar cane decaf

    Milk chocolate, hazelnut, soft citrus.
