Review Body: Fantastic experience! Interior decoration is very themed and the ambience is perfect. We get to see real coffee trees in the backyard and even a mini bee keeping experience which is a surprise bonus. Clarence guided us through the coffee roasting process step by step in detail. The coffee we roasted actual tasted great like a high quality filter coffee from a cafe. I love the coffee brewing class the most because we get to try mokapot and v60 brew methods. The breakfast, bagel, butter and jam were freshly prepared and taste pretty good. Clarence is really knowledgable and happy to answer any questions we asked. Every step is well guided and we brought home the best souvenir - a bag of beans we roasted!

Review Body: Edmil was very informative, friendly, and kind during the whole session. I wasn't expecting to learn so much about coffee, it really change and boarded my perspective. We also learned how to brew the coffee beans we roasted at home. The interior of the house was amazing, we had a tour around and learned so much more than coffee. I am very inspired by their love for the environment and nature as well. Would go back for more session at The Sundowner Nature Experience Centre. Great place if you're looking for an aesthetic/interesting place to expand your broaden your experience.

Review Body: Had a great time at the coffee workshop! The pace of the workshop was perfect - not too rushed and not too boring either :) Super informative and engaging even for total coffee noobs like me. Special thanks to the hosts for sharing such their knowledge and creating such a pleasant environment for everyone to learn and experience brewing coffee regardless of our past experiences :D

Review Body: We had a lovely time at the coffee roasting and brewing workshop. We enjoyed the conversations around coffee, coffee beans, brewing methods and differentiating flavors - Gary has a lot of experience with coffee and some nice recommendations for good coffee spots in Singapore. Highly recommend this workshop, if you are or would like to be a coffee connoisseur.

Review Body: The venue itself is an experience all on its own, felt like I was transported to a different country. The hosts were very knowledgeable and generous with what they’ve learned. I learned not only about coffee but the roasting and the pour over coffee process. The quality of the coffee was great and you get to take home some of the beans you roast.

Learn the science behind a good roast + brew your own cup of coffee!
If you love coffee, this is a chance to discover what actually goes into your daily cup. Hosted in a beautiful nature sanctuary beside the forest (rather than a typical café), you’ll get a glimpse of rare coffee plants growing in Singapore, then dive into the science and craft behind roasting, grinding and brewing, with coffee pros sharing the tips and techniques that make all the difference to flavour. Perfect for a weekend adventure or a unique way to celebrate a special occasion!You’ll get to understand what makes a great roast, from how heat transforms the beans to how grind size and brewing technique affect the final cup. Then it’s your turn to get hands-on, brewing coffee using both the V60 pour-over and Moka methods, with plenty of guidance along the way to help you get the best out of each. If you’ve only ever had dark roasts with chocolatey notes, you’re in for a surprise – here, you’ll taste the delicate grassy and tea-like flavours of a light or medium roast.Of course, no coffee experience is complete without something to eat, so you’ll settle in with a simple bagel brunch and your freshly brewed coffee. Tucked away in this leafy corner of Singapore, it’s a lovely excuse to slow down, learn something new and spend a morning somewhere that feels worlds away from the city.Celebrating a birthday? 🎉If you're celebrating a special day, let the hosts know when booking!
