This month we had the great opportunity of being invited at the Coffee and Chocolate Expo in Riyadh where we were given the chance to teach about coffee in an amazing workshop area prepared just for us.

Our goal was to transmit some of our italian knowledge to the new and passionate baristas and businessmen in Saudi Arabia: barista courses, cafè management, latte art and green bean selection were only some of the topics we chose to talk about in our short but concentrated workshops. The participants showed a lot of interest with some great questions and the organizers seemed happy with our work, that’s more than we could ask for.

One morning we were able to visit Camel Step Coffee Roasters and try some of their single origins, they are doing a very good job and we hope they keep it up.

We’ve learned a lot in these three days of expo and will be glad to take part in similar projects in the future. But for now let’s concentrate on our courses in Florence!

We managed to get some nice pictures from this short trip
