Whether you want to admit it or not, the holiday season is just around the corner. That’s why we’re taking this opportunity to remind you it’s never too early to start planning your gift strategy. And one experience we’re excited to offer already is a cupping session and tour with Gumption Coffee at their 6,000 square foot facility in Industry City.

One of Leisurely’s longstanding beliefs is that even if you don’t like the taste of coffee, you must respect the barista and all of their methodologies in crafting the perfect cup. I mean they are literally making the magic juice that helps people deal with terrible commutes, afternoon lags, and access free wifi for an entire day.

At this cupping session, roaster and co-owner Hazel de los Reyes will teach us how to smell, taste, and appreciate the various brewed coffees that Gumption creates to make the world go round. Most importantly, we’re going to learn barista slang which can help all of us find that personal caffeine combination we’ve been searching for our entire lives. And since coffee goes great with food, Gumption is treating us to a few bites from their menu too.

We’re proud to partner with this woman-owned business, and hope you’ll join us on Saturday December 7th from 12 to 2 pm.
