Based on another thread, I was asked to repost an interesting croudsource of information on the coffee we buy:

Make your replies fit the following format;

  • Location: at least your country, not the beans.
  • Retailer: Were did you buy your beans?online, brick and mortar. Be specific.
  • Beans: If a blend, name the brand and type. If single origin, give the detes, i.e. country of origin, region, farm, processing method, elevation
  • Roast: Light, medium, dark, french ...
  • Advertized tasting notes: e.g. stone fruit, sweet, balanced acidity.
  • Your tasting notes: Do you agree with the advertized cupping notes? Why?
  • Price per unit: e.g. $/lb or £/kg etc...

With any luck we might discover hidden gems, or discover a new favourite or maybe a bargain.

Good luck in building an export market. I hope to sample some someday soon.

    I'm not in the coffee business so my view is that of an outsider. I am not sure how much the folks here want to develop the export market considering how badly the farmers in the larger export areas are screwed while the middle and end folks repeat the rewards.
