CAFÉ KITSUNÉ VERTBOIS WORKSHOPS

WELCOME TO THE CAFÉ KITSUNÉ VERTBOIS WORKSHOPS

 

Opened a few months ago, Café Kitsuné Vertbois is the only Café Kitsuné address in Europe to possess its own roasting atelier. From June 2021, it will also be the only one in the world to offer themed workshops dedicated to coffee culture, open to both connoisseurs and amateurs. The greatest passions are those that are shared… The launch of the Café Kitsuné Vertbois Coffee Workshops today makes perfect sense.

 

An invitation to travel the world of speciality coffee

Departure is imminent from the beginning of June, every Saturday, with a journey in 4 stages (to be organised according to participants’ desires) to discover the fascinating world of speciality coffee. The Workshops led by Florian Decousser, artisan roaster at the Café Kitsuné Vertbois, are limited to 3, 4 or 6 people, for a completely personalized experience.

 

All facets of speciality coffees are covered, from cultivation to transformation through the magic of roasting, and to the extraction of coffee in espresso as well as in the gentle ethods. Throughout these 4 workshops, the idea is for you to become a true connoisseur, to share and discover which style of coffee you like best. All this within the welcoming atmosphere of the Café Kitsuné Vertbois.

Then it’s time to get hands-on with live roasting and coffee preparation using the legendary V60, the Japanese manual brewing method so popular with lovers of gentle extraction.
