The US Mystery Coffee League is a friendly competition between fellow coffee lovers, created to learn and expand our sensory skills. Each month our Roaster of the Month prepares a Mystery Coffee for us. We try to guess many of the coffee’s characteristics including the origin country, tasting notes, processing method, varietal, altitude grown, and more by brewing it as filter, espresso or just in cupping. At the end of the month, we submit our guesses and the roaster reveals all the details about the coffee. The club member with the most points for correct answers is crowned our Champ of the Month. At the end of the year we’ll select Mystery Coffee League Champion of the Year. The US Mystery Coffee League is for anyone that wants to try coffee from US roasters and beyond.

Anyone can join the Mystery Coffee League. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or coffee geek, or whether you're brewing mostly filter, espresso, or something in between. Expanding our sensory skills is a primary goal of Mystery Coffee League. Throughout the month, club members try to guess coffee parameters and discuss coffee together in the Mystery Coffee League Discord. It's a friendly competition and a great way to meet coffee enthusiasts all over.
