How the programme runs

History of Coffee & Tea

Where both plants came from, how they reached Kenya, and why origin still decides what ends up in the cup.

Coffee Bean Processing

Processing methods and roast development, then the equipment itself — using different espresso machines, and setting up and calibrating coffee grinders.

Latte Art Techniques

Milk texture first, then the pour. Hearts, rosettas and tulips, repeated until they are consistent rather than lucky.

Types of Coffee & Tea

Every drink on a café menu and precisely how it differs from the one next to it, plus the main tea types and how each is correctly brewed.

Hygiene & Workplace Management

Personal hygiene, station setup, cleaning schedules and workflow — the standards that keep a bar working through a rush.

The Cold Menu

Juice, milkshake, smoothies, mojito, lemonade, frappés and iced latte. Balance, texture, ice, dilution and garnish.

Piña Colada & Signature Blends

Blended drink construction, layering and presentation — the drinks that photograph well and carry a menu.
