Coffee masterclass with St Ali!

Continuing on from the previous successful Cultural Food Academy sessions, Northland Shopping Centre recently hosted a coffee masterclass with St Ali.

With the guidance of St Ali head barista and bar manager, Leon Holdsworth, we were taken on a coffee journey where we gained an understanding of how coffee was grown, picked, processed, roasted and finally brewed.

More importantly, we also tasted the aromatically brewed coffee after attempting to make some latte art. Following on from the experience, we then learnt about the coffee cupping protocol which entails looking, grinding, smelling, brewing and tasting the coffee. This insight showed us the process of how St Ali chooses which coffee to buy from multiple suppliers and variations. 

To conclude the masterclass, we tried to master the art of making the renowned espresso martini, which was divine. 

Join Northland on their next Culinary adventure by keeping an eye out for their next masterclass!
