*Learning CQI Flavor Standards

Description

This *New Class* from the Coffee Quality Institute is perfect for coffee enthusiasts or professionals looking to gain essential flavor knowledge and/or calibrate themselves for the new requirements associated with their Q-Grader test/ recalibration. You will learn the basics of Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) flavor standards and get the tools and confidence to take your coffee career to the next level.

This class will introduce the new CQI Flavor standards to any Q-Arabica or Robusta Grader wanting to practice or anyone else wanting to learn or experience the CQI flavor standards.

While this class does not grant full Q grader certification, it is a CQI certified 100 level class and is an excellent way to start your Q Grader journey, or, if you are an existing Q Grader, to learn the basics behind the new Flavor Standards which you will need to pass at your next calibration. You will receive a certificate from CQI after you attend this class.
