Lately, I've become addicted to iced coffee. Every day I always look for its strong aroma and cold consistency. It makes me satisfied if I drink Iced Coffee after a meal. I don't know if I've become a javaphile this days.
This addiction led me to an unforgettable experience on one Saturday, February 3, 2024. Where I attended a free workshop on creating Iced Coffee. While I scroll in my Facebook page ads pop up on my screen about this Iced coffee. Since I was thinking about Iced Coffee I opened the link and registered for the orientation. I chose the 1:00 pm schedule on the weekend since I have work on weekdays.
On that day also in the morning, I have scheduled Hive Orientation held around the area. So it's perfect timing and also a convenience on me to attend the workshop.
Hive Orientation with College Students.
The Hive Orientation ended exactly noon, so I take my lunch in the nearby mall before heading the workshop area which is just in the front of the mall. By the way, the Iced Coffee workshop is held in City Time's Square Mandaue Cebu Philippines. I arrived before the time scheduled. I ask the staff outside this store to ensure that this is the venue. I was hesitant to enter at first cause I think Im in the wrong place. But this place full of boxes outside is the venue for the event.
I enter the store, It is just a small area, and inside also are full of boxes of their products. The staff approached me and asked if I was there for the workshop. They let me register first and give me a set while they prepare for the workshop. While waiting, the room started to fill with attendees.
A few minutes, the workshop started. We introduce first ourselves and the reason why we attended the orientation.
They began Introducing their company and products related to the workshop. At that time I realized, the main reason for this workshop was not only to teach us how to make Iced Coffee but also to introduce their business. Will, It's reasonable too for this kind of event. Nice Marketing strategy to acquire interested individuals to come in for the workshop and present their business package.

After they showed us how to make it, they let us try to brew our Iced Coffee, you just need to pay 37 pesos per flavor that you want to mix. Out of three, I choose the Dark Chocolate and Dream Latte flavors. Some of the attendees try all flavors but I just pick two cause I can't consume all three after the orientation.

A lot of attendees tried to brew, they were businessmen, housewives, law enforcers, and kids who were enjoying their time as well brewing the iced coffee. While waiting for my turn I watched carefully how they made it. Im a little nervous but also excited to create my iced coffee and I am excited also to taste the flavor of the Iced Coffee I made.
On my turn, I need first to wear the PPE (apron, gloves, hut, and mask). Then I get two 16oz cups for the flavors I choose. Then I fill up the cups with an Iced cube in a 3/4 level of the cup. For the Dream Latte, I start pouring the 200 ml milk, then followed by 60 ml premium coffee and, then mix gently. For the Dark Chocolate, after filling it with Ice, I pour first the 150 ml milk and then the Dark Chocolate.

I was worried when I was mixing the iced coffee, afraid that I couldn't make it, but after a few minutes I started enjoying it and I felt like Im a bartender already 馃槄. I finish it for almost 5 minutes then I taste what I created and to tell you it is tasteful and delicious (Of course Im the one who made it, let me be a little biased on this part 馃槄)
After we finished brewing our coffee, they started pitching again the business packages they offered to to become one of their business partners. For information about the business packages and inclusion, you can refer on this photos. You can visit and contact this page If you are interested.
It was a nice experience and I will never forget it. Though I didn't ignite with their business offer I'm still glad and thankful to them for making this workshop possible. Now I know the ingredients of one of my addictive refreshments nowadays and I can say I can brew it for you. (Just make sure you have ingredients 馃槄)
That's it for this blog in one unforgettable weekend experience. Hoping you learn something from it. Thank you for dropping by in my little Hive room.
