Umami Area is a cultural organization of food and beverage experts who share tasting experiences.
The association hosts various events including “I drink quality coffee,” the “Umami barista camp,” and the annual “Umami coffee camp.”
The association’s mission is to dispel the culture of “fast food” in favor of a culture that values the senses, simple recipes and conviviality, according to association president Andrej Godina. In July the group will launch a coffee academy in Jakarta.
The association will host its second 10-day Umami coffee camp in Vietnam from Sept. 22 to Oct. 10. The next meeting is in November in Seoul, Korea during the World Cafe Expo.
