Techniques » Coffee Bean Fundamentals
Reading a coffee label can be as confusing as deciphering a label from a fine bottle of wine. George Howell of George Howell Coffee describes why so many mass-produced coffees are almost unpalatable and how all factors in the process from the plant to the cup contribute to either a high or low-quality end product. He touches on essential elements such as growing origin and altitude, bean size, varietal, roast, and classification, as well as how not to get lost in the forest of information available on some retail coffee labels.
