En plus d’une incroyable selection de café, il y a beaucoup de choses qui se passent lors du Café fest Ottawa.

Deborah will take you on a discovery journey of the character of the African Burundi bean. Participants will be able to sample their beans and learn about the product of Burundi’s rich soil and the dedication of local small farmers.

Kate Burnett, COO of Bridgehead, will speak about the importance of local leadership, vision and goal-setting in shaping the future of coffee communities. She will draw from her experiences working with the women and men from Bukonzo Joint Cooperative, one of Uganda's leading producers of specialty washed Arabica coffee and winner of the 2015 SCAA Sustainability Award. Discover how a coffee community has achieved a remarkable economic and social transformation in less than a decade and how we can learn from their experience and apply these lessons to our own lives. ​

Join Paige Watts (Wild Child Coffee Project), Geneviève Bétournay (Art House Café) and Josée Michelle (Feline Café) for a moderated in-depth panel discussion on local cafés and social responsibility. We'll learn more about the mission of each café and why operating a coffee shop is a good way to support their particular purpose.

In this coffee cupping session we travel the world through all of the flavours in a cup of coffee. We learn about the importance of basic factors like acidity, body, sweetness and others as well as their interplay. And yes, we will hear about the impact of the cultivar, the terroir and the agricultural practises, and not to forget, the roasting too. A simple cup of coffee is quite a complex thing…

Rethinking Coffee

Everybody knows coffee, that dark brew in a cup. But there is a growing interest in the use of all the coffee by-products that often make their way into waste water and rivers or worse, just rot. More and more, scientists are discovering highly valuable ingredients like antioxidants, dietary fibre, and pectin in these waste and by-products; and farmers - even if still small in number – are trying to develop new products. The first consumable products have already hit the market: Cascara (dried coffee pulp, steeped like a tea or as a base for Soda drinks), “coffee honey” (from mucilage), or coffee flour (from the dried pulp). But that's by far not everything. You would be surprised where we might find coffee (by-) products in a couple of years; it will not be only in your morning cup of Joe! During this talk, Dr. Hans Langenbahn will address some of the unexpected possibilities to reuse coffee by-products to our advantage.
