The structured cupping sessions were the real highlight—by the third day I could pick out specific aromas I’d never noticed before. The way they break down basic tastes makes it stick, not just theory.

I went in expecting to just skim through, but the section on isolating basic tastes completely rewired how I cup. The way they break down aroma detection step by step made a huge difference in my palate accuracy by the end of the module.

The formal cupping setup section really clicked for me—I can finally tell the difference between tart and bitter without second-guessing myself. My palate feels sharper after each session, and the aroma exercises are way more practical than I expected.
