Home Barista Courses

Is the coffee geek in you struggling to come out? Are your friends considering a support group for your addiction? We understand. Attend a condensed version of our commercial course which focuses on the finer details. We cover everything you would learn on our pro course, ignoring only the skills required in a high-paced environment. Be careful that your family and friends dont turn you into their personal Barista slave (If they try, you can come hide at Origin anytime).

Coffee Appreciation Courses

Everyone talks about wine tasting. Consider a coffee tasting course. Coffee is the most aromatically complex substance consumed by human beings. Arabica vs robusta is nursery school. We’ll explore how variety & region affect the character of the cup. We’ll taste coffees from great origins around the globe. We’ll discuss artisan roasting, and what fresh coffee really means. We’ll make the coffee you serve at home taste as good (well, almost) as it does at Origin.

Tea Appreciation Courses

Down with the tyranny of tea bags. With expertise and over 100 fine leaf teas on offer, we will help you to explore tea – black, green, oolong, flavoured and unflavoured, rooibos, and herbal & fruit infusions. We cover all the great origins. We’ll teach you how to prepare and bring the ceremony and romance of tea into your world.
