Introduction to Coffee - SCA Certificate Course
The Introduction to Coffee course is ideal for anyone who is new to specialty coffee. It charts coffee’s journey from its origins in Ethiopia to the major commodity that it is today. In addition, learners will discuss the importance of water quality, cleanliness, and maintenance. This interactive course also includes cupping, an industry-specific process for evaluating coffee through a sensory experience.
Come learn about coffee with us at our coffee school - WRC Brew Lab - located in Dallas, Texas. We've been serving our neighbors and teaching people about coffee since we opened in 2005. If you're interested in learning how to start your own coffee shop, there is no better place to learn and develop your barista skills than White Rock Coffee.
In 2005 the first White Rock Coffee location opened with one purpose in mind: to become part of the neighborhood. 18 years, six locations, a roastery, and thousands of customers later - that same mission is thriving all around Dallas, Texas.
White Rock Coffee is an independent, award-winning coffee roaster and coffeehouse. Yep, KRUPS says we are one of the top 15 coffeehouses in AMERICA! A.MER.I.CA. But our proudest accomplishments are the loyal customers we've served over almost two decades in business.
Our Coffee
We source coffee that is responsibly grown. About 85% of the coffee we source is Direct Trade; this means we are talking to the coffee grower or farm owner to purchase their coffee. Much of our coffee is Rainforest Alliance Certified which is a certification we look for in a coffee farm. Not only does this certification mean that the farmer is using superior agricultural processes, but it also means that they take care of the migrant workers. We craft roast each farm's coffee to the peak of flavor, the sweet spot, and serve it to our treasured customers. We take care of the coffee these farms produce and share it with our customers.
If you find yourself in Dallas, we'd love to serve you at any of our Dallas Coffee Shops.
