Sorry for three consecutive posts haha, but thought I'd post something here if interested. I entered a competition a couple of years back, and the question was "What makes a good coffee?" I didn't win the comp, came runner up I think and won few beans, but I answered: "What makes a good coffee? The farmers who grow it, the pickers who pick it by hand when it's ripe, the processers who process it, the people who rake or turn the coffee every 6 hours for even drying, the cleaners who clean it, the sorters who sort it, the graders who grade it, the roasters who roast it to perfection, the barista who prepares and extracts it with dedication, and lastly, the coffee that's consumed 🙂. Every step is important, and when the bean is treated with such respect, is allowed for it's full true potential and characteristics to shine. Different coffees are simply different from each other, neither better nor worse, each displaying the characteristics of its whole journey. But the end product, after its long line of preparation, shows how much love is put into each step, and the beverage appreciated at the end reflects that 🙂."
