Coffee Taster Day Camp (CoTaDa)

Who knows how much you’d come to like something if you don’t even get to experience a little taste of it first? Much like the cortado, the Coffee Taster Day camp is a short, taster programme that seeks to inspire youths to learn more about the coffee industry as well as to help them gain insights into the sustained work and discipline needed to be a career barista.

Let our seasoned and dedicated professionals give you an awareness of the coffee industry and show you first-hand what a career in it will look and feel like.
