The Mystery Coffee League is an informal competition for fun, where you can buy a mystery coffee every month from a specific roaster and then try to guess the coffee’s profile: origin, variety, process, and so on.

I somehow stumbled upon this and participated in the previous round, and honestly, I found it enjoyable trying to be more aware of my morning coffee, even discussing the flavours a bit with my partner. Personally, I’m not too good at this yet, but I’m trying to be more conscious of flavours and seeing how the different ways of brewing help me reach the flavours I like.

So if you’re interested in developing your knowledge of coffee flavours by forcing yourself to taste for them, or even if you’re just interested in a fun way to try different coffees every month, maybe participating could be for you.

It’s all taking place on Discord, which is something I’m always trying to avoid, but unfortunately, there’s no alternative here.
