COFFEE MONTH
AUGUST 2ND
A Tale of Two Roasts
The art of craft coffee is almost as complex as wine. No two blends are alike, and preparing the perfect cup takes skill, practice, and knowledge. The team at Origin Coffee Roasters know all about this. Founded in 2004 by Tom Sobey, the independently owned speciality coffee roaster specialises in sourcing exceptional, sustainable coffee. And they’re bringing their craft to Mortimer House for this special class focussed on the secrets of preparing the perfect cup at home.
The class focuses on tasting different coffee blends and understanding how flavours are created. So, even if you don’t have a full espresso set-up in your kitchen, you’ll still learn tips and tricks on how you can make the most of expertly sourced craft coffee.

Frothy Fortunes
Have you ever dreamed of clouds in your coffee? Meet the Mystic Sisters, a duo whose cosmic interpretations of your coffee grounds will have you steering well clear of vain boyfriends. Similar to the better known practice of reading tea leaves, this intimate session blends the nourishing aroma of coffee with an in-depth discussion about your innermost thoughts.
