This is a free, public event open to all.

We are located on 24th Street between 39th and 40th avenue (google maps shows a picture of us on 23rd, but that is incorrect).  Parking is sometimes available on the street, but to be absolutely safe there are paid parking spots further down Street towards Queensboro Plaza N.  Once you arrive at the location, there are double doors to the right of the loading dock which you can open.  Take the left door, up the stairs, and into the grand hall to reach us.

From Sylwia of Ocafi:

“Ocafi would like to invite you to taste this year’s exceptional microlots from our partner producers and farms. We’re excited to showcase three high scoring microlots, including two unique selections from Fazenda Guariroba, which was one of the favorites last year.

We’re also proud to feature a delicious lot from Sítio Tres Barras, a women-owned farm led by Patricia. Plus, several fresh crop coffees have just arrived at Continental, and we can’t wait for you to taste them.

Join us to explore this year’s gems from Brazil.”

Let's end Women's History Month with a potluck cupping!

Attendees are (please!) asked to bring a coffee that is positively impacted by women. From producer to roaster, there are so many amazing coffees out there & even more amazing women who make it possible for us to enjoy them.

Before we cup the coffees, we'll go around the room & ask each person who brought something to briefly introduce us to the women behind that coffee! Maybe we can even do a swap at the end so everyone can go home with a new-to-you coffee.

Any new roasters we learn about who are buying women-produced coffees will be added to our "Coffee Roasters who buy Women-Produced" spreadsheet.

Expect to celebrate women in many different roles, taste some delicious coffees, & chat with folks who care about visibility for women in coffee. What better way to wrap Women's History Month than celebrate the folks who center women all the rest of the year?

DM with any questions, & share with anyone you think would love to join!

Forgotten Forest is a vertically integrated Puerto Rican coffee project founded by Domenico Celli. We’re excited to be joined by Domenico Celli himself for a cupping of coffees from Forgotten Forest’s own farm, Centro Tanamá, single estates from some of their close partners, along with a community lot consisting of a group farmers in Yauco, Puerto Rico’s most famous coffee growing region. For complex economic, political, and historical reasons Puerto Rico has long been ignored by the specialty coffee community, despite being one of the earliest coffee growing origins in the Americas and at one time being the 6th-largest coffee producer on the planet. However, with San Juan-based Cafe Regina’s recent Sprudgie win for best new cafe, where, among others, they serve Forgotten Forest, change is on the horizon. In addition to recently producing some of the highest scoring coffee in Puerto Rico’s history, Forgotten Forest is a social project raising the profile and prestige of Puerto Rican coffee through deep collaborative farm partnerships, innovative agroforestry, radical traceability, and showcasing Puerto Rican excellence across the world. Join us to learn more about Domenico Celli’s unique story, the singular story of Puerto Rican coffee, and to taste some of the best coffee in Puerto Rican history.
