Coffee education organized in the Arabica coffee plantations in Vietnam

Umami Coffee Camp is a training coffee journey where the participants can have the best coffee education, directly in the field and in the classroom. The training lessons are more focused on coffee sensory analysis, barista skills (how to brew a good cup of espresso and a cappuccino Latte Art), filter coffee and brewing techniques and coffee roasting. The coffee plantation workouts include also green coffee module (botanical issues, how to manage a coffee plantation, seedling, picking, processing, drying, pruning, etc). 

Participants from Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, Iran and Argentina are join the education agenda together with local coffee professionals and farmers, therefore it is going to be an interesting experience of international knowledge sharing! 

For the fees of the Camp: the offer for this Campus at 1900€ for foreigners, including transport within Vietnam (taxi from airport to hotel, daily transportation); meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner); accommodation in Hotel; visit to plantations (coffee, cocoa, tea); SCA coffee course; tea and chocolate workshops; cultural visits and leisure activities. The price does not include the flight ticket from Europe (or country of origin) to Vietnam, VISA costs, travel insurance and SCA certification fees (if participants want to take the exams).
