Divey I recently bought some Guatemala SHB Huehuetenango. I had a decent google and I can't find out what the SHB in the name represents. Can anyone enlighten me?

Koffee_Kosmo Just a quick note on SHB Based on a home roasters experience I have found these type of beans take a little longer to reach first crack but quicker to reach second crack Not sure if commercial roasters have the same observations KK
Muscles And SHG = Strictly High Grown doesn't it? Wish we had a wiki of all terms coffee, processing methods, roasting generalizations etc It took me ages to find out what SHB + SHG stood for...
Seeya_Latte Sounds like a tough bean to crack (sorry) Sounds like it should be known as Son Hova B~tch (not sorry) :laugh:
Divey Whilst we are on this train of thought, is it only Hawaiian Coffee that has Extra Fancy and Fancy, plus a few others. :question:
Koffee_Kosmo Sweet Maria's usually has a very well written description on most coffee terms However some new ones are just advertising spin KK

Ronin I have heard that the higher grown the coffee the less caffeine is in it. Apparently the caffeine is a natural pest replant and there is not as many pests high up, so not as much need for the caffeine content.

Divey I have some Sumatra Triple Picked Lintong. Does the 'triple picked' mean that there are three grade sizes of beans, 'cause that what they look like....pretty ugly I must admit.
FreshCoffee2 "Triple Picked" Picked by three 19 year old native voluptuos virgins, following eachother through the line of coffee bushes, each picking through what the preceding virgin has missed ;D
