The setting

Created for the heritage programme at ArCH Square, Coffee Cultures connected the movement of coffee with the movement of goods, people and ideas between port cities.

The coffee experience

Guided tasting moved into hands-on brewing. Participants compared cups, recorded their impressions and tried making coffee together, with space for questions and conversation around each table.

The details that mattered

Regional coffee stories, brewing objects and tasting notes gave participants several ways into the subject. The photographs capture both the close attention of making a cup and the easy exchange that followed.
