Beginning this weekend and extending through June 7, 2009, the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington will be holding the exhibit Coffee: The World in Your Cup. With the intention of illustrating the broad influence that coffee has on the cultures, economies and societies the world over, this exhibit will feature photography, coffee plants, regular tastings, coffee bag displays, videos and a lecture series beginning in April. Warm up this opening weekend with a series of special events -- including guided tours, cuppings, tastings and talks led by coffee experts. If you don't live in the Seattle area but may travel here sometime over the next few months, this exhibit is definitely worth checking out -- and you can hit up the museum for a tasting every weekend from January 31st - March 29th! We're really looking forward to the lecture series (kicked off by one of our favorites, Uncommon Grounds' Mark Pendergrast). This is an excellent opportunity to deepen your relationship with where your favorite bean comes from and we hope to see you there!
