#przywspolnymstole (#atthecommontable) Workshops

Autumn is the time of harvesting the last crops and securing stocks for the winter. Pickles are a key element of home pantries (and a source of many health benefits). How and what to pickle?

ROST Coffee That Cares 

7 Oct. 2023 (Saturday) at 6.00 p.m.  

ROST Coffee That Cares (rost-warsaw.com), speciality coffee roasters, was opened by Krzysiek Rzyman and Alex Tęcza. They have known each other for several years, and they first talked about opening their place in 2021 on the Clubhouse platform. From words to deeds, they created new quality on the speciality market. Their coffee roasters are focused primarily on environmentally friendly production. They cooperate with the most sustainable importers of green beans, and their coffee is available in compostable packaging (including labels!). 

During the coffee cupping, we will taste their new speciality coffee. Brazil Fazenda Pinheiro was created from the Catuai variety grain. It is characterised by high sweetness and fruity taste, with noticeable mirabelle, nougat and milk chocolate notes.

MEDUZYNA 

8 Oct. 2023 (Sunday) at 6.00 p.m.

Magda and Filip dreamed about a Warsaw kombucha microbrewery where they could combine their love for the world of teas and wines. Meduzyna Kombucha was opened at the beginning of 2020 and has been constantly developing. It is served in the best restaurants in Poland, and in 2022, it won awards in the Great Taste Awards international competition.  

Kombucha, or fermented tea, first came to Poland over 100 years ago. Meduzyna is made from high-quality organic ingredients using a traditional craft method similar to the sparkling wine-making process. 

We invite you to the world of aromatic teas from Nepal, China and India tea gardens.
