Japan × New Zealand Coffee Cupping

Join us at Black Betty Café to explore coffee from Japan and New Zealand. Everyone is welcome! Discover New Flavours. Meet New People. Share Great Coffee. Ever wondered how different coffees compare when you taste them side by side? Here's your chance to find out! Join us at Black Betty Café for a fun, relaxed coffee cupping experience featuring 8 different single-origin coffees. We'll be showcasing some exciting coffees from Japanese roasters, including locally roasted coffee from Switch Espresso Coffee Company. But there's a twist! We'll be running a fun blind cupping challenge. Taste each coffee without knowing its origin or roaster, explore the different flavours and aromas, and see if you can guess which coffee is which. All will be revealed at the end! Whether you're new to specialty coffee, a home brewer, or an experienced barista, everyone is welcome. No experience is needed — just curiosity and a love of good coffee. Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation. You might even discover your new favourite!
