Join us in the POST CAFE for a deep dive into the world of coffee with the Education Team from our featured roaster, Dessert Oasis. Sample a variety of beans while you learn about the roasting process and explore your own palate and preferences.
During the session we will learn:
- About coffee, its origin, and how it's harvested from seed to cup.
- How to evaluate the tasting notes and other characteristics of coffee beans to judge their quality through fragrance, acidity, aftertaste, balance, body and flavor.
- How to extract the best coffee through different methods.
Everyone will take home a bag of beans too!

About Dessert Oasis:
Our philosophy is simple: to serve the best cup of coffee — every second of every day. We achieve this through thoughtful sourcing, expert roasting and strong partnerships.
Specializing in single-origin coffees, we curate a rotating selection that showcases diverse processing methods, varietals and origins. Our producer relationships — ranging from all-women-run farms to multi-generational estates —are the foundation of our work, ensuring exceptional quality from farm to cup.
What started in 2009 with our Director of Coffee, Nate, roasting on a modified rotisserie oven has evolved into a refined craft. Today, we roast on a 12-kilo Probat, guided by the same passion and commitment to excellence. Fifteen years later, our mission remains: to source, roast and share coffee that we, our producers, and our partners are proud of.
