Unser erprobtes Konzept von Canephorum verbindet theoretische Deep Dives mit praktischem Erleben, wissenschaftliche Seriosität mit Freude und bietet Raum für Netzwerken ganz im Sinne von Canephora.
Gemeinsam geben Teilnehmende und Referent*innen aus aller Welt Canephora eine Bühne, indem sie Wissenschaft, Röstereien, Cafés, Händler*innen, Produktion und Konsument*innen zusammenbringen.

Canephorum V4 Meise

Diversity and Value

Are you ready to rediscover Coffea canephora? We are gathering for the fourth edition of Canephorum at Bouchout Castle in Meise Botanic Garden (Plantentuin Meise) in Belgium.

Over two days, we focus on science, roasting practice, and sensory evaluation around Canephora. We will discuss “Diversity and Value”, from genetics through to the finished cup, for everyone who wants to deepen their understanding of coffee through a Canephora lens.
